*contract concerning the delivery of several hundred missiles andseveral dozens of launch units for the Piorun MANPADS to* ***Estonia*** *wouldbe signed next week.*
Good for Estonia.
Finally getting real MANPADS then. The Mistral might have a longer range and a bigger warhead, but they’re a bit too heavy and the launcher is too cumbersome to be truly man-portable, so in reality most are vehicle-mounted.
