Well Brasil had a choice between MAA-1B and A-Darter. They are mass producing A-Darter in partnership with Denel which tells us MAA-1B didn't meet its requirements.
A darter is not ready yet.and wont be available for export atleast until 2017.
We wanted to buy MAA-1A even order was placed but as confirmed by H khan paf later opted to wait and go for the more advance variant MAA-1B
Ofcourse A darter is better than MAA-1B but that wont be ready for the next couple of years.
A darter is even regarded more better than IRIS-T
Really??
Then why is it displayed at airshows for export?
Oh yeah, they also have the ground launched version available too!
yes i heard so.because there is no missile even remotely equal to PL-9c neither would be any in active service for the next few years
