This was announced on January 17 by the European Defense Review portal. The new complex is intended to quickly and effectively identify, resist and neutralize air threats, including UAVs and armored helicopters. The contract amount is 300 million Swedish crowns ($ 28. 6 million). "We are proud that our Swedish customer has selected for this purpose a mobile SAAB MOBILE DRAWS.
Our advanced solution is truly mobile and provides reliable protection for troops on the battlefield," said Dynamics Head of Saab Gorgen Johansson. Commenting on this decision of Swedish weapons, Defense Express experts paid attention to some interesting points. First, having made a similar order, the Swedish Defense Ministry went to a small experiment, combining BVS 10 and RBS 70 NG. In this case, the radar will be placed on a separate platform.
Experts also noted that the SMRC will be reminiscent of the well-known Iris-T SLS complex, as it is also based on the BVS 10 chassis and equipped with Giraffe 1x. "The difference is further, except in the type of rockets that will be used-RBS 70 NG instead of Iris-T. However, such a replacement will worsen the characteristics, since RBS 70 NG has a firing range up to 9 kilometers, essentially as in RBS 98" , - experts emphasized.
