The Drakon 70/12H is a ground to ground, robust, cost-effective system using the adequate technology to assure firing precision during day or night condition. Using Drakon rocket launcher with replaceable tubes, maintenance costs are reduced while increasing duration, also the launchers themselves are removable, which guarantees constant availability of the system. |
