Russia may Transfer Manufacturing of 9K338 Igla-S MANPADS to Brazil

Russian-designed 9K338 Igla-S manportable surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems could be constructed in Brazil for export to third countries, the director general of Russian defence organisation KB Mashinostroyenia (KBM) has said.

The comments by Valery Kashin were reported by the Brazilian Defensa.com information service on 12 March, and come after Brazil confirmed in October last year that Brazil had signed a memorandum of understanding with Moscow concerning the procurement of KBM Igla-S SAMs and the KBP Design Bureau 96K6 Pantsir integrated gun and SAM system.
