Singapore Armed Forces can be equipped with air defense missile maneuver (MANPADS) Igla-S new kind of Russia, Head of Engineering Design Bureau Konstruktorskoye Byuro Mashynostroyenia (KBM), Mr. Georgy Vasilyev said on 23/4.
"Between Singapore and we have had a relationship lasting cooperation, will soon start negotiations on the ability to buy air defense missile latest Igla shoulder-our-S", Mr Vasilyev said.
According to the officials of KBM, Singapore Army is currently using an older version of Igla MANPADS complexes. The main difference between the Igla-S with its previous versions are fighting capability is enhanced to 1.5 times, the ability to attack and destroy a wide variety of aerodynamic targets at different distances away from the 6km. The application of the new algorithm programming and advanced electronic system significantly enhances the ability to "immune" to the enemy's electronic interference, thereby enhancing the probability of destroying the target aircraft, cruise missiles The subsonic, unmanned aircraft .
Combinations of missile Igla-S uses the first target it needs, creating the ability to destroy precise targets with high probability. The integration of new electronic circuits can significantly reduce the volume of space inside part strategy for the detection sensor and navigation, so the weight of the missile warhead has increased from 1.3 to 2 , 5kg, creating devastating and affect a larger range without increasing the overall weight of the missile.
Mr. Vasilyev also note that, apart from Singapore, a number of other countries such as Malaysia, Egypt and Turkey have shown great interest combined MANPADS Igla-S.
