Stringer is no Super cool weaponry But it have its reputation, Other MANPADS Indian Army AD will have which will out class and out preform it in future....

I thought the trials are still on for both Javelin and Spike. Surprisingly, Spike failed the earlier held desert trials.It all depends on the application. Nimrod and Spike NLOS can be game changers with their huge range.

Which is ironic considering it is a Israeli weapon that is supposed to work flawlessly in the the deserts.Actually Spike FAILED only in Indian thar and the reason was the heat issue, Javelin on other hand is good but it was a political decision..
Indian army is planning to have stringer and others too in near future, My assumption though..
I think Pak has more best equipment then India, their Govt supports them well then Indian Babus....Which is ironic considering it is a Israeli weapon that is supposed to work flawlessly in the the deserts.
RBS-70 NG is a much better platform than stingers or igla.
Not exactly, that beggar of a nation cannot procure state of the art SAMs like Spyder or Barak NG so they have to rely on cheaper MANPADS for their air defence. They intend to use swarming tactics to make up for their lack of better equipment.I think Pak has more best equipment then India, their Govt supports them well then Indian Babus....
Can they be cheated??Not exactly, that beggar of a nation cannot procure state of the art SAMs like Spyder or Barak NG so they have to rely on cheaper MANPADS for their air defence. They intend to use swarming tactics to make up for their lack of better equipment.
Fire large number of MANPADS at an incoming aircraft and pray to god that one of them achieves a kill.
Let me tell you something..RBS-70 NG is a much better platform than stingers or igla.

BB, actually its more better than Strela 10m we use..Fire large number of MANPADS at an incoming aircraft and pray to god that one of them achieves a kill.
Yes, the IR seekers on Paki versions are not that advanced so the flares will do the job but swarming can be a issue.Can they be cheated??
Hence the replacement, either way in Indian Army MANPADS are for mobile offensive formations not for point defence of important institutions. That is not the case with Pakis. The only potent SAM system they have is Spada 2000 which is yet to be inducted and at best is comparable to Akash.BB, actually its more better than Strela 10m we use..
MANPADs such as IGLA are dead on targets..
No replacement for that as its different category..Hence the replacement, either way in Indian Army MANPADS are for mobile offensive formations not for point defence of important institutions.

On the other hand we are procuring large number of SAMs.
Both, Chiron and Strastreak sounds good to me.
How a Anti-tank is related to AD ?Why doesn't our defense ministry put up an offer for Hellfire missiles....they are pretty damn good.
