LAF receives 16 Milan launchers and 48 Milan F2A missiles as part of DONAS

The Lebanese Army received today morning 16 Milan F1 launchers and 48 Milan F2A missiles during a ceremony at Beirut Airbase. This marks the first of a series of deliveries related to the DONAS agreement.

Lebanon already operates Milan, but the missiles provided in this delivery are considered a leap in the capabilities. The Milan F2A has tandem shaped-charge warheads and was introduced in 1993. Future deliveries will include Milan launchers with night capabilities; however, it is worth noting that Milan 1427-12-157-0800 launchers which were delivered today are compatible with MIRA thermal sight.
