>>34761649
>Anyone knows why?
like most new russian military equipment, this is probably a just a propaganda piece

>>34761649
they sent it so it can fall into anti turkish forces hands and shrek turk helicopters

>>34761649
Its for those pesky drones

>>34761649
Why wouldn't they send it? Syria is the perfect test bed for many of Russia's military equipment

Makes reasonable sense they'd send shit like this down there

>>34761791

In case you did not catch it the enemy that they are supposedly to fight for in Syria have no aircraft or helicopters.

Educated guess - the manpads were taken there because they are about to sell them to Assad's regime.

...or just more posing towards the west (as if the other air defenses that they set up in Syria did anything to US cruise missiles).

...or one/some of Russian generals has made his own deal to deliver manpads to ISIL or Al-Qaida and needs to bring them to the region for them to be "lost in combat".

>>34761864
There is plenty of drones they could use those on, not to mention the distinct threat of the Turks to the north.

But yeah they are probably there to pitch them to the Assad regime despite the Syrian Government being absolutely broke.

>>34761864
>the enemy that they are supposedly to fight for in Syria have no aircraft or helicopters.

Turks have been killing Russians in Syria.

>>34761881
MANPADS are IR based, drones arnt hot enough.

>>34762035
>>34762035
Verba can use external sensors. That's why they have this mobile radar on an air droppable Tigr SUV so they can use radar instead of IR.

>>34762035
>SA-13
>All missiles—9M31M, 9M37, 9M37M and 9M333—are equipped with optical homing heads utilizing reticle-based photocontrast and/or infrared homing. 9M333 is said to have particularly good countermeasures resistance due to its triple-channel homing head, while the photocontrast channel of 9M37/9M37M is described as back-up method to the IR channel.
It can shot non IR emitting targets during day light.
>inb4 Verba are not SA-13
What Verba uses is classified so only speculations remain.

To defend themselves from western planes who are actively supporting ISIS, most likely.

My sweet summer child. Observe the true truth.

>Lichtenstein is arming everyone, and is a solar system superpower.

Beautiful bunny-hop on that missile. Beautiful. Remember not to launch it over your squad's heads.

>>34763274
...no. Iglas do not use any form of radar guidance. I don't even know of a MANPAD that uses radar, at best broad-spectrum electromagnetic and traditional infra-red acquisition.

>>34763186
extremely short-range engagement, first use of MANPAD in PKK-TSK conflict, pilot probably had no clue what was going on until just before impact

>>34761649
need to field test it against drones, which don't have significant IR signatures. probably testing out the wide-range electromagnetic sensors.

>>34763186
I'm no expert but I read somewhere that MANPADs are very good at recognizing small differences in IR light wavelengths and apparently flares don't emit exactly the same IR wavelengths

>>34763552
Igla is programmed to go for the cooler target when the flares deploy. Its missile that is.
Flares are hotter than the aircraft.

>>34762712
He probably meant al nusra, not isis

>>34763186
Pilot had no clue he was being engaged until the impact, turks probably lack MWS on their helicopters, had he seen the launch I guarantee he would've popped flares

I don't think anyone unironically claims that USA is arming ISIS, they never have. But the USA have armed rebel factions, many have which have landed up either giving the weapons to ISIS or have ISIS btfo of them and then taken their weapons.

Government Decision No. 16-5 of January 10, 1968, the "Strela-2" MANPADS was adopted

>>34766140
Highly unlikely but not THAT far fetched. During the first Chechen War there were Russian officers who outright sold their weapons and equipment to Chechen militants. Government officials were even aware but they turned a blind eye. Of course, Russia is no where near as bad economically as it was in the 90s, but it happened.

>>34766185
Stinger was adopted in 1981

>>34766140

Re-read what I wrote and if needed read it few more times, eventually you may actually learn to understand written sentences.

Corrupt Russian general(s) =/= Russian government

Considering the main interest for Russian participation in Syria is to bring in revenue by selling (typically outdated) military equipment to Assad's regime and anybody else willing to buy at inflated prices, I would not consider it impossible that they might actually be selling to both sides of the conflict, but at least at this moment I consider that to be unlikely.

Let's face it - Putin's regime and whole Russian apparatus is riddled by corruption inbuilt to the whose system. For example last year's listing of Transparency International places Russia as 131st least corrupt country in a world (out of 176 countries total). Hence Russia ranks as more corrupt than for example Liberia (90.), Cote d'Ivore (108.), Bolovia (113.), Dominican Repubic (120.) or Sierra Leone (123.)

The main difference to 1990's is not that Russia would not be as corrupt today, but that now all levels of administration all the way to the top are corrupt and monetary gains are much larger.

the very next frame, the motor fires.

Since the rocket motor is now pointed down towards the ground, the operator doesn't get a face full of exhaust. But what if he fired the rocket at a shallower angle initially?

>>34761649
The fact that they sent them to syria shows that this isn't a very large innovation. They're 100% going to fall into American or Americans allies hands if they actually see combat. The Russians wouldn't risk this if it wasn't vapor ware.

>>34761649

Usually this would be for showing them off in front of a potential buyer as well as familiarizing the troops with them, but beats me how they plan on doing that.
They lack the balls to shoot down any NATO craft, but they absolutely are NOT giving them to any of the Kurds that might then use it against Turk craft, because the risk of them being handed over to whoever gives you the most dough for Russia's newest MANPAD is way too high to be worth it, even if you disregard any other factors that might discourage Russia from doing so.

>>34766022
It wouldn't benefit them the slightest because Afghanistan's Taliban is almost singlehandedly responsible for an epidemic of heroin addiction that is ravaging Russia. If anything Russia's military brass probably still daydreams of firebombing all of A-stan's rural areas.
