"It has an electronic firing control unit, known as Vosel, which gives the weapon a very high level of accuracy.

The Alcotán-100 has a sight unit, which can be used during the day and at night, a laser range finder and a ballistic computer. These are clipped to the launch tube before firing and unclipped after firing.

To operate the Alcotán-100,the operator must turn on the firing control unit. The sight unit then tracks the target, and the ballistic computer calculates where the target will appear in the future, so that the operator can aim the weapon correctly. It takes less than a third of a second for the computer to perform the calculations."

So a weapon which went out of production ten years ago was purchased.
Wonder whose fat pockets were lined for this??

Although in retrospect, it may be a genuine find of a decent weapon.
That we will never know

Sorry but even that weapon only entered production in 1998 so we can have latest version of it most likely

[Areesh]

Might be using at LOC. Who knows!!!

 

[Path-Finder]

It is a lot of expense for few launch units and missiles. Unless ToT follows then forget it.
