RBS-70 MANPADS
DESCRIPCIÓN DEL SISTEMA
The RBS-70 (Robot 70) is a Swedish man-portable/vehicle-mounted short-range air defense missile system developed by Saab Dynamics. Unlike conventional MANPADS it uses laser beam-riding guidance, making it immune to IR countermeasures and flares. The system engages targets from very low altitude to about 5,000m at up to 9 km range (Mk2 version). Tunisia operates the RBS-70 as its primary point air defense system, providing SHORAD coverage for key installations and ground units in absence of a comprehensive integrated air defense network.

Weapons integration breadth gives mission planners flexibility that single-role platforms simply cannot match.
