Community Update No.8: Responses and What’s Coming!

They have that plane here where I live in a museum (its the prototype). But how the hecc is that thing going to perform in actual combat unless its like 1.0-3.0

Nah, I believe it’s the other one

This one looks a lot more combat capable than the V-173

What american SPAA is Norwegian???

The NASAMS HML which is the SLAMRAAM (Claws) in game

Slamraam, its a joint project with Kongsberg, the US pulled out in 2010 and left Kongsberg to finish the system dubbed NASAM HML

The CLAWS is american lol what?? Its an american project, doesnt make it Norwegian.

Not to mention Raytheon were the ones to use the ARAAMMS and AIM 9X on the Humvee.

Claws is a joint system from Norway and the US. The whole project started because the US was interested in Kongsberg NASAM

Kongsberg was the first to use ground launched AMRAAM

Raytheon put the amramms on the back of the humvee,

nothing unique, just copy paste old soviet weapons

NASAM is Kongsberg, they were the first to use AMRAAM for SPAA, the US wanted a SPAA like NASAM so Raytheon and Kongsberg started a joint vehicle to give a mobile platform. Its not like im trying to saying it shouldn’t have gone to the US but it should’ve been given to both Norway and the US as they both had a hand in it

The radar, misses, and the truck are all made by American company’s and are still used in todays service idk were you think its Norwegian. Just because the United States wanted a NASAM like system doesn’t make it Norwegian, not to mention the NASAM lost to the slamramms.

The fact that Kongsberg is listed as a co developer its even on the wiki if you looked

Yes, but that doesnt make it Norwegian if Raytheon were the ones to make the system its their system.

Yes, but notice how Raytheon is the FIRST one mentioned. That means its owned by them or at least its their project.

It literally says and Kongsberg, its a joint project regardless of whos name was written first lmao.

The thing is, I’ve seen it in both the trailer and the self propelled configuration, but so far I’ve only seen self propelled launchers being able to fire without further preparations.

Of course I could be wrong about the trailers having to be properly deployed before being operational, but I am having a hard time finding info on that kind of question

Judging by the multi vehicle SAMs we have ingame, there needs to be a TADS (Target Acquisition and Designation System) vehicle and a TEL (Target Erector Launcher) vehicle and I cannot tell if the so called MEL (Mobile Erector Launcher) of the Patriot needs further preparation before operation or if it can be operated while still attached to the towing vehicle.

Raytheon got the contract, the SLAMRAAM was made by THEM.

You talking about Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia?

Yes they got the contract but the vehicle was still created via Raytheon and Kongsberg, if you can find a official source that Raytheon had no assistance from Kongsberg then please do post it.

The NASAMs is a Kongsberg design and the launcher for the SLAMRAAM on the Humvee was a co-operation between Raytheon AND Kongsberg
