MBDA PARS 3 LR

The PARS 3 LR, from the German Panzerabwehr-Raketensystem 3 Long Range and also known as TRIGAT-LR or AC 3G in French, is a fire-and-forget missile for use against ground or air targets. It is meant for long-range work and for defeating tanks, helicopters and other individual targets while keeping the launch vehicle out of enemy fire, and it is the main weapon system of the Eurocopter Tiger helicopter. It can be fired in salvos of up to four in eight seconds in direct or top-attack modes. The programme began with Germany, France and the United Kingdom, and after the United Kingdom withdrew only Germany and France remained. Germany ordered 680 missiles on 30 June 2006 and deliveries began in 2012, and Indonesia ordered 700 with deliveries from 2018. It is made by Parsys, a joint venture of MBDA Deutschland and Diehl BGT Defence.
