Britain buys Russian surface-to-air missiles in fight against terrorism
Britain has secretly bought dozens of Russian surface-to-air missiles to develop counter measures against them. Thanks to Jennifer for sending me the story.
Scientist are working with the shoulder-launched missile in order to protect British aircraft and service personnel from terrorist that may employ them.
Ministry of Defence scientists and gunners from the Royal Artillery have test-fired them at UK bases.
The exact model of the missile was withheld at the request of the government but from the description given by the article, it most probably the Igla.
