Training MANPADS operators for combat employment
VARTA MANPADS trains man-portable air-defense system operators (Stinger, Ihla, Piorun) for combat employment — from target search to a simulated missile launch. Training takes place in a safe VR environment, without expending real missiles, with the ability to repeat drills as many times as needed.
