Russia’s state-run TASS news agency says an anonymous source within Vietnam’s Defense Ministry has said that the country’s Spyder air defense missile system is regularly breaking down.
“The Defense Ministry of Vietnam is against purchasing a new batch of Israeli SPYDER short-range systems. Specifically, in the estimate of military specialists, these systems operate poorly in tropical conditions and regularly break down,” TASS quoted the source.
The source added that test firings of the system within the country had poor results.
