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

i dont think US has a unique vehicle irl for nasams

Then it shouldn’t have been added for them

the base IRIS-T that is modified for Surface Launch (SL)

SLS is the shortrange version

SLM medium etc etc

Base IRIS-T used by EldE does not have DL.
DL was added in the IRIS-T SL used by the IRIS-T SLM system.

I thought the US loved to preach hur dur best army in the world so why do they need to be handheld for this?

you cant just joink a missle off a plane stick it on a rail and yeet it into the sky, there are modifications made

they sure as shit dont have a 1980s scania truck for it

Im pretty sure US made the amraam-er

There is no modification, other than a software update needed to for it to work with the system, that is installed automatically when connected to the rail. You could be taking IRIS-T back and forth between Gripen and EldE, and it would be the exact same missile, working with both.

Then how come they couldn’t afford a truck to mount it on?

Cuz US uses stationary launchers?

the norwegians do too, that launcher is either on the ground or on a truck its not 2 different things

how do you think they transport em ? teleportation ?

Then again they should’ve gotten something else that works, they dont need vehicles they don’t use

"Roboten som kallas robot 98 i Försvarsmakten, är internationellt mer känd som jaktroboten IRIS-T (InfraRed Imaging System Tail/Thrust vector-controlled). Robot 98 är i princip samma jaktrobot som används till JAS 39 Gripen.

Roboten är framtagen i ett tysklett projekt tillsammans med Sverige och fyra andra länder. Diehl Defence är leverantör av robot och lavett. Roboten har mycket god svängprestanda och är försedd med en bildalstrande IR-målsökare. Förändringen från jaktrobot till luftvärnsrobot görs genom en justering av robotens mjukvara, vilket enkelt kan göras i fält och den kan därför bokstavligen tas från vingen på flygplanet för att laddas på Eldenhet 98. "

Only other thing that could’ve been added was patriot lol

the swedes are known for naming anything similar the same

they bought the SLM system as well that missle will likely also be called the rb98

aim 9l and aim-9m in swedish service were both called rb74 without any distinction

Honestly it probably should’ve been. This isn’t even a joke. Patriot would’ve been artificially gimped anyways by the snail unless it was Russian

How about you read what is written there.

Robot 98 is essentially the same fighter robot used for the JAS 39 Gripen.

essentially the same and exactly the same isnt the same thing
