Default Re: Malasian MANPADS
according to Wiki they have javelin (aka starburst) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starbur...to-air_missile

Per the missile section of the Malaysian army wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysi...fense_Missiles

Which also refers to Rapier - 15 fire units - which probably should be added as well. The picture shown in the wiki article looks like the field standard C model.

Starstreak should be replaced with Javelin - no news of them replacing these with starstreaks, as they have bought other IR MANPADS recently.

to be investigated.
