Helps to survive infantry: the Armed Forces fighters "crossed" MANAs with a land robot, details (photo)

To spread: engineers of the 28th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces developed their own mobile anti-aircraft installation on the basis of the ground robotic platform (NRC), equipping it with a portable anti-aircraft missile complex (IAS) "Igla". According to data published on the official page of the brigade on Instagram, the system has already been used in combat conditions - at least one shot down Russian helicopter reports.

The military notes that the use of a remote controlled platform from the MAIs makes it possible to significantly increase the chances of infantry survival during the attack of enemy aviation. Russian FPV-pans are increasingly tracking and blocking the actions of fighters, complicating the use of traditional MAZRCs from positions in trenches. Thus, the new system allows you to react remotely to the appearance of enemy helicopters, aircraft or reconnaissance UAVs.

According to the "miller", the development was of interest among volunteers who have already announced the fundraising for the manufacture of 10 such platforms by the brigade itself. Engineers promise to assemble complexes on the basis of available accessories. The observers noted that this is not the first case of use of NRCs for the tasks on the battlefield.

At the end of July, the Ukrainian company Kvertus introduced a serial sample of a mobile electronic fight called Kvertus Ad Berserk, also based on a ground platform. According to the design, it provides cover during the evacuation of the wounded, supports the assault groups and protects logistics corridors from the drows of the enemy.

The main characteristics of the 9K38 IGLA MSR38 Recall that at the end of May, the US Army announced a breakthrough in the development of portable anti-aircraft missile complexes, presenting the modernized version of the FIM-92 STinger missile with a direct air-reactive engine.
