Defense World:
Russian mobile short-range surface-to-air missile system Sosna (Pinetree in Russian) which continues the line of the Strela-10M SAM used by many militaries across the world will be unveiled at the Army 2018 event in Moscow tomorrow.
While the product has been demonstrated by Russia at different shows but no official international public presentation has taken place yet.
The developer of Sosna, Nudelman Precision Engineering Design Bureau (KBtochmash) officially reported earlier, Sosna is slated to replace the Strela-10M in the Russian Army. This year, Rostec state corporation (parent company of KBtochmash) had declared that the state trials of the Russia-oriented version called Bagulnik (Sosna is the export name) were concluded and it was on way to be introduced into the Army.
