The Ukrainian army demonstrated the Swedish portable anti-aircraft missile complex RBS 70, which protects the airspace in the Kiev region. The photo was published on its social networks by the press service of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to reports, as early as January 2023, the army trained on RBS 70 simulators. Swedish trainers were impressed with the speed with which Ukrainian soldiers mastered this system.
According to the military, the complex shown in the photo has already shot down Russian cruise missiles and Iranian-made kamikaze drones.

A photograph of a soldier inside a radar station was also published. It’s probably a radar giraffe 75, about her previously reported appearance on ZSU Militarny. radar complex giraffe 75 It is designed to work together with the short-range anti-aircraft missile systems RBS-70 and RBS-90 in a single system. They provide the detection range of air targets at a distance of up to 75 km.
The RBS 70 is a Swedish short-range portable anti-aircraft missile system manufactured by Saab Bofors Dynamics. This anti-aircraft complex is command-controlled, the missile is controlled by a laser: its beam creates a corridor through which the missile flies.
The most important advantage of this complex is the ability to effectively work in the conditions of countermeasures with thermal traps or EW devices. The complex is armed with several types of anti-aircraft missiles – Rb 70 Mk.1, Mk.2 and Bolide. The effectiveness of the complex depends on their use. In general, its tactical and technical characteristics allow hitting targets at distances up to 5,000-8,000 meters and at altitudes up to 3,000-5,000 meters.

The RBS 70 weighs 87 kilograms and is fully mobile. Conceptually, this complex is in a niche between portable anti-aircraft missile systems of the “Igla” or Stinger type and large anti-aircraft systems mounted on vehicles. The launcher of the anti-aircraft system consists of a transport launch container (TPK) containing a tripod, a sighting device and an anti-aircraft missile. The service consists of two people.
In the weather monitoring mode, the command and launch unit (LCB) of the complex has an analog connector for connecting a three-coordinate Giraffe target acquisition and tracking radar or similar cable. Radar allows you to work in all weather conditions. When pointing at a target, the operator automatically adjusts the accuracy of complex marking with the help of audio signals. Source
