New Swedish top tier SAM announced – what do you think it will be?

Gaijin confirmed that Sweden will receive a new top tier SAM. I’m interested in what everyone expects.

My thoughts are:

Most Likely
• NASAMS 3 HML – mobile AMRAAM launcher, similar to the CLAWS.

Less likely
• RBS 23 BAMSE – Swedish system, but older, not widely adopted and not fully fire and forget. Also not 12.7 material due to range up to around 20km

On order
• IRIS-T SLM – Sweden and Denmark both have it on order.
• SAMP/T – Denmark has it on order

What do you think Gaijin will add? Any realistic Nordic options I missed?

I think it would be IRS-T SLM or SAMP/T since gajin loves to copy paste

true but since both of those are only on order i would expect the NASAMS 3 HML, which is really similar to the CLAWS

yeah ive thought about that one too (shoudlve probably mentioned it)

but its nowhere near as good as the russian top aa now, and im not sure which mobile radar unit its compatable with

6

usually order won’t work in warthunder, need actually service. so NASAMS 3 HML

7

IMO it might just be a worse CLAWS. If i am not mistaken it can only carry ARH missiles which can be easily notched. AIM 9X is the only reason i like the CLAWS. But come to think of it since NASAM 3 HML is in service so it might make more sense to add it

8

the NASAMS 3 HML should have ER versions of the AIM-120s so it would have more range than CLAWS, the non HML versions also have access to more lauchers and different short range missles like 9X and IRIS-T SLS, im not sure if the HML variant can have the 2 extra launchers the CLAWS has since they are effectively the same laucher system

9

Our Finnish BUK M1 could be a possibility, however i expect the Norwegian SLAMRAAM will likely end up getting added

10

yeah buk has some issues in it not being fire and forget (its semi-active radar) and its range is about 30km iirc which is better than the EldE 98 but not IRIS-T SLM levels yet

and BTW the slamraam IS the NASAMS, it was a joint operation though im not quite sure on all the details

11

Even the CLAWS can have ER version of aim 120s if i am not mistaken. But how would range matter if i can launch a GBU-64 from far away, dive down and notch. If GBU-64 intercepted then i will use unguided rocket or dumb bomb, get close while notching and kill them.

12

I think there is a track version with 8 missile compare to the 4 on the humvee

13

i agree it would still not be perfect, it would give radar warnings and be notchable indeed

14

if you have any pics i would love to see em

Isn’t that the one used by US?

17

where i found it it wasnt clear but i think its a US truck yes

just said something about nasams and the company that made them

18

the main reason i wasnt sure is the CLAWS doesnt have this thing

Sweden can also get NOMADS ground-based air defence system which is used by Norway.

According to Wikipedia it can use IRS-T SLS as well as AIM 9X block 2
