Rakete Mistral za PVO sistem PASARS - Mistral Missiles for SHORAD system PASARS

Predsednik Srbije je na konferenciji za novinare posle završetka vojne vežbe na Pešteru "Vek pobednika 2018" izjavio da će razgovarati sa predsednikom Francuske Makronom oko nabavke naoružanja za Vojsku Srbije.
Radi se o lakim prenosnim raketnim sistemima kratkog dometa “Mistral”. Cilj ove nabavke je osavremnjivanje kopnenih PVO sastava Vojske Srbije za borbu protiv neprijateljskih vazduhoplova na malim visinama i daljinama. U proteklom periodu je u velikoj meri zapušten ovaj segment Vojske Srbije, a dobar deo potpuno ispravnih sredstava je čak i uništen (Strela 2M, M53/59 Praga).
Rakete "Mistral" su predviđene za ugradnju na prvi srpski hibridni PVO sistem PASARS koji je u završnoj fazi razvoja gde se očekuje ispaljivanje PVO raketa, sa navedenog sistema. Top Bofors L/70 koji je takođe montiran na vozilo FAP 2026 PASARS (Terminator) PVO sistema je već uspešno položio testove gađanja ciljeva na zemlji i u vazduhu. PASARS-16 is a Serbian Short range air defense system unveiled in 2017 by Yugoimport and built by Zastava TERVO. It uses a FAP 2026 6x6 military truck chassis that carries Bofors 40 mm gun and 2 short range RLN-1C surface to air missiles. The RLN-1C is partial based on the Russian air-to-air missile R-13M in context of frontal canards section and head shape and comes with completely new electonics for guidance, seeker head and new rocket engine with modern composite propellant that enables the launch of the rocket off the ground.
Mistral is an infrared homing MANPADS manufactured by the European multinational company MBDA missile systems (formerly by Matra BAe Dynamics). Based on the French SATCP (Sol-Air À Très Courte Portée), the portable missile later to become the Mistral began development in 1974. It was initially deployed in 1988 for the first version (S1) and 1997 for the second version Mistral M2.
