Back


SAAB BOFORS RBS 70 SHORT-RANGE MISSILE SYSTEM - This shoulder-launched air defense system uses a unique laser guidance system that is both highly accurate and immune to jamming. The RBS 70 system can be operated "manually" or set up as an array of unmanned units that use an automatic defense system to identify and destroy aerial threats. The latest RBS 70 missile, designated "Bolide', has an intercept range of about five miles and a ceiling of about 15,000 feet.

No, they sold it, because your army desperately needed cash. Giving away these things just doesn't make sense

The words sense and Swedish politicians can not be combined without causing laughter since it would be a huge joke.

They have put HF-77 howitzers "in storage" out in a field just to make sure the army could never use them again. They have updated fighter wings to Gripen standard just to disband them the following year. They have filled countless nuke-safe bunkers with concrete. And they gave away or scrapped Swedens entire invasion defense, because Russia will never cause trouble again...???

Your government is probably infiltrated by immigrant-loving, euro-ultra-liberal multi culture lovers. You should check whether they have connections to the Russian communists. The next thing they do will be banning of your historical inheritance, due to fact that it is discrimination towards muslims

Probably? It is a well known fact!

Old Norse runes are already banned. Just as it is illegal to wear a Swedish flag, and to read out official statistics in public, that would be a hate crime.

That's terrible. Time for a little nationalist revolution!

Yes, it will kill any vehicle except MBTs. If there is a clear line of sight of course.

MBT's?? what's that?
Scurck (August 26, 2008 at 10:41 pm)
Main Battle Tank.

Oh, well thats pretty cool. But can this weapon actually target both air and gound vehicles??
Scurck (August 28, 2008 at 4:15 am)
The missile flies wherever the operator points the laser beam, to there need to be a clear line of sight to the target. And when the missile detects something that seems to be a vehicle (metal/heat/etc) it explodes and kills the target.
