Infantry MANPADS

"Standard infantry soldier equipped with an IR anti-air missile launcher (man portable air defense system)."

― Mission Editor description

The Infantry MANPADS is a variant of the existing Infantry unit. Instead of a machine gun, it carries a MANPADS heat-seeking missile launcher. It launches infrared-guided missiles at targets, similarly to the weapon of the IRAPC, making it a good defense against hostile Close Air Support.

Its missiles have an engagement range of ~4km.
