Kashtan CIWS - Palash/Palma

Palash/Palma

In the 1990s, a modified version of Kashtan was developed for the export market. This system is similar to Kashtan except that it is lighter and in addition to the SACLOS guided missile such as the 9M311, infrared guided missile can also be used, such as the FIM-92 Stinger, Igla, and Mistral missile. Depending on the different types of missiles used, the system can be called either Palash, or Palma. Vietnam's Gepard 3.9 uses one Palash CIWS.
