Rostec’s High Precision Systems Dzhigit support launcher is rapidly gaining interest from foreign customers with over 10 countries having ordered the product under Rosoboronexport contracts.
“The Dzhigit support launcher and the Gibka-S man-portable air defense system are the only weapons in the world capable of launching two MANPADS missiles in a salvo with a 99 percent probability of hitting the target,” a company official said.
The support launcher significantly reduces the physical strain on the anti-aircraft gunner who no longer has to carry the system on the shoulder. In addition, Dzhigit has a protective awning that reduces the heat from the sunlight during the day and facilitates the work of the operator.
The Dzhigit support launcher is capable of firing two Igla or Verba MANPADS missiles using the “shot-forget” principle in one salvo or one at a time in automatic or manual mode. The support launcher provides 360 degrees azimuth and -15 to +60 degrees elevation guidance.
The Dzhigit can also be mounted in the back of a car, disassembled into three parts to be manually carried by military personnel. The deployment time to a combat position is three minutes, while the reload time is two minutes.
With night vision and other additional equipment, Dzhigit can operate at any time of day, use external target designation and recognize targets according to the “friend or foe” principle.
Up to three Kornet ATGM launchers within a range of 100 meters can be connected to the system’s remote control unit, High Precision Systems (part of Rostec) claims. “Up to 3 launchers within a range of 100 meters can be connected to a Kornet ATGM remote control unit at the same time,” a source said. The Kornet-EM anti-tank guided missile manufactured by High Precision Systems (part of Rostec Corporation) is designed to destroy tanks and other armored targets, including those equipped with advanced dynamic armor. A laser beam is used to target missiles.
