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

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

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

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.

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

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

if you have any pics i would love to see em

i did find these 2

Isn’t that the one used by US?

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

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

That the one @NoahHuls

true, but it would effectively be a different EldE 98

Is it also use by the dutch, so france can get it

ah gocha, but its pretty much an EldE without gaijin messing up the mobility

better than them havving a finnish ito lol

IRS-T SLS is also used by IRS-T SLM which imo is the best SAM currently used in game. So it should be as good as IRS-T SLM

no the EldE 98 uses IRIS-T SLS, it has 12 km range instead of 40 km range of the IRIS-T SLM

the missle seeker is indeed the same, but the SLM relies on datalink for a major part of the flight where the SLS does not

RB 98 is just the swedish name for the IRIS-T missle

CLAWS has that on its launchers as well
