Kentron. (News).


Kentron's Umkhonto-IR air defence missile has marked its first penetration in the European Union with a contract from the Finnish Navy. Value and number of systems involved were not disclosed, but the South African anti-ship missile killers are intended to be installed onboard the service's Squadron 2000 ships. The lock-on-after-launch Umkhonto is a vertically launched version of the Sahv-3 command-to-line-of-sight air defence missile, but fitted with a variant of the air-to-air U-Darter's infrared seeker.
