Malasian MANPADS

[AMX]

I looked up the numbers for you...

OOB74
Units 109 and 116
EW5
Weapon 32
Range 140

And comparing with the British versions...

OOB07
Units 440 and 444
EW5
Weapon 32
Range 100

Replaced 1/100 with..
Units 441 and 445
EW6
Same weapon

Cheers AMX I would guess then that the Malaysian unit should be EW5 & range 100

British units 441 & 445 may probably represent Startstreak II with slightly improved targeting & the extended range.

Most likely, yes.

Possibly, but I think they are too early for that - as you said, no Starstreak II before 2007.
I'm guessing they are meant to represent SIFF (Improved IFF system for the launcher, bought July 2001)


Come to think of it, I never heard of Malaysia buying Starstreak...
