The Swedish defense company, Saab, has already offered the RBS 70 NG for the Indian tri-service tender for Very Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) systems. The tender is for an initial order estimated to be worth INR 27,000 crore (USD 5.4 billion) for over 800 launchers and over 5,000 missiles.

So, Stinger could be next next contender for MANPADS category for our armed forces.

 

[The Messiah]

We'll only take it if they buy it back on double the cost

 

[Blackwater]

Is stinger still effective and capable in today's technology???

 

[Damian]

Depends on against what target it is used. Against most helicopters it will still be very effective.

 

[Galaxy]

Is stinger still effective and capable in today's technology???

Well, It's last layer of defense if Short/Med/Long range Missiles misses the target.

Every defense shield layer is important. We need to have at least 3 layers.

 

[Armand2REP]

Stinger is too short ranged to be a contender against Mistral. IAF already uses for their helos anyway so it is a no brainer.

[Damian]

Is there is any alternate to stinger in the market, which is cheap and effective..

Yes, Russian 9K38 Igla, 9K32 Strela-2 or Polish PZR Grom that soon will have updated version, but Grom was succesfully used by Georgians in war against Russia and it's allies.
