A modified PASARS FM-1 mobile weapon system was used for the test, with the RLN-IC\/170 launched at a 120 mm illumination mortar round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Serbian MoD, the objective of the test firing was to verify the missile\u2019s lock-on-to-target in the pre-launch and launch sequences, to confirm the missile\u2019s aerodynamic configuration and real-time autonomous guidance characteristics, and to establish the functionality of RLN-IC\/170\u2019s newly-installed subsystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nenad Miloradovi?, Acting Assistant Minister for Materiel Resources in the Serbian MoD, said that the RLN-IC\/170 is an improved version of the earlier RLN-IC missile \u2013 a local development of the R-13M short-range IR homing air-to-air missile used with the Serbian Air Force MiG-21 combat aircraft. The RLN-IC\/170 features a new solid-fuel rocket motor, believed to have been developed by the Kru\u0161ik Holding Corporation, an updated IR homing warhead, digital control electronics, and a re-configured larger calibre warhead. \u201dThese new components, including the rocket engine, are developed by VTI and its subcontractors,\u201d said Miloradovi?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Source: <\/strong>JANES News &#8211; 29 May 2020<\/em><br><br><strong>Editor:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.com\/?cat=1684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bogdan Gabriel Curcea <\/a><\/strong>(East Europe &#8211;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.net\/news_country.asp?id=225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> Romania <\/a><\/strong>and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.net\/news_country.asp?id=239\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Serbia <\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">XAirForces News<\/a> Editor)<br><a href=\"http:\/\/Facebook.com\/bogdangabriel.curcea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Facebook.com\/bogdangabriel.curcea<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/Twitter.com\/BogdanG_Curcea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Twitter.com\/BogdanG_Curcea<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:bogdan.gabriel.curcea@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">bogdan.gabriel.curcea@gmail.com<\/a><br><em><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.net\/newsd.asp?newsid=3158&amp;newst=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Serbia test-fires indigenous RLN-IC\/170 short-range SAM<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Military Technical Institute in Belgrade (Vojnotehni?ki Institut, VTI), part of the Serbian Ministry of Defence (MoD), on 22 May test-fired the indigenously-developed infrared (IR)-homing RLN-IC\/170 short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM).
