RBS 70 was initially combined with the 20 mm lv-akan (AA autocannon) m/40 in the half platoon AA-units in the AA-batalion in the Swedish army brigade. So there was two RBS 70 and two 20 mm AA-guns in each AA-platoon.

Omnirole is a marketing term as Rafale can't hover like a Harrier or land on water like a Catalina Flying Boat. Just saying, no offence intended.

It's still the best machine

No po co budować skoro pod ręką mamy coś co jest i dobre i sprawdza się pod każdym względem. Szweckie okręty nawodne i podwodne. Czy trzeba czegoś więcej..?

I like the Ozelot

Was a REM on buccs at Lossiemouth and on the old Ark, fantastic engineering.

These were kept in various mountain rooms / secret air bases inside mountains? Which all were later busted by Bergling / Wennerström (to finance their living beyond their meager Officer means?...) So they changed to using the highways instead? A typical example would be Aeroseum in Gothenburg? (What is the story of the spies & the former secret air base?) (Our great Swedish spies seemed to betray our country of no reason whatsoever, except that they could? They were certainly not communists, nothing ideological? It is really all very strange when you try to read up about it....)

Correction! South Africa did not loose the war. The war was settled politically! Get the facts right

HMS Cardiff shot down the British Army Gazelle, almost two weeks after HMS Coventry was sunk. Sea Dart Firings and Kills 9th May 1982 - HMS Coventry - 3 Missiles fired. 2 at target at maximum range missed. One killed the Puma Helicopter. 22th May 1982 - HMS Cardiff - 2 missiles fired at an Argentinean Air Force 707 which was doing a reconnaissance flight over the British shipping route. Fired at Maximum range, the 707 managed to evade the missiles by going into a steep dive. 25th May 1982 - HMS Coventry - 3 Missiles fired. 2 shot down 2 skyhawks. One fired at a plane that hit her which missed. 25th May 1982 - HMS Invincible - 6 fired during the Exocet attack that sank Atlantic Conveyor. Most likely fired at Chaff clouds from another ship. 30th May 1982 - HMS Exeter - 3 missiles fired at the Exocet and 2 out of 4 Skyhawks attacking HMS Avenger and herself. First missile missed, second pair killed the two Skyhawks. Exeter had not had chance to load her Sea Dart Magazine to full war stocks when she was deployed from the Caribbean sea and she only had ten missiles onboard (she had left the UK with 15 missiles, but had fired 5 of them in a big exercise with the US Navy). She did get solid lock on the other two Skyhawks, but due to her captain not knowing when he was going to get reload missiles, he let them go. 6th June 1982 - HMS Cardiff Blue on Blue. 7th June 1982 - HMS Exeter fired 2 missiles at 2 Learjet photo reconnaissance aircraft. One missile went rogue due to a software bug in the fire control system which had been known about for 5 years and not fixed!!! But the other missile blew the tail off the other Learjet at maximum range, 14th June 1982 - HMS Cardiff shot down a Canberra. Cardiff fired 9 missiles during the war, so its a good bet she fired two missiles at the three targets she is known to have engaged. what happened to the other 3 missiles isn't recorded. Exeter fired at least 5 missiles, three of which hit targets. Coventry fired at least 6 missiles, three of which hit targets Apparently there were 36 attempted Sea Dart Firings by the Royal navy during the War. 33 of the Missiles actually flew (the three that didn't failed to launch (or even load the launcher) due to Launcher Malfunctions caused by Sea Salt encrustation (2 round Salvo from HMS Glasgow) or Ice (a single missile from HMS Coventry) . Taking the 6 missiles fired by HMS Invincible off as they were not shot at an aircraft of any kind, that leaves 26 missiles. 2 fired by HMS Exeter and Coventry are known to have failed due to being inside minimum range and a software issue. which means 8 targets were killed by 24 missiles (and 3 targets were known to have been missed due to the missiles being fired at maximum range and the targets managing to evade the missile, with 2 missiles known to have been fired at one of them). I've seen figures of reliability for the missile quoted between 33.3% and 50% (if you fire a 2 round salvo at a target your Single Shot Kill Probability (SSKP) automatically drops to 50%.

Did u know it's the only helicopter that could turn upside dawn,,,, South African technology

Top video! Hearing about the modernization of the NL ships, I am once again totally convinced about the stupidity of our defense politicians regarding the German Nacy frigates which are imo totally „undergunned“, especially the air defense SACHSEN class. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ Our neighbor shows us how it’s done 💪

Had no idea it was that complex fascinating information

4:34 FIKA! 😆

I was onboard the Iwo Jima from 77-81 just 14 days short of 5 years. It was a great home.

I believe that Sweden herself was not mich interested in exporting this fine product , else the could have gone hunting for potential clients with flexible terms. Only other reson could be the US concers regarding its vulnerability to yhese machines.

0:45 Small correction/clarification: The official designation of the Wiesel is Luftlandepanzer ('airborne tank') Wiesel. Some versions of the Wiesal _are_ Waffentrager, but that is a designation that refers to _any_ self-propelled vehicle with a mounted weapon whose role is to carry that weapon into battle and use it. So most tanks are waffenträger, as are all self-propelled artillery pieces and some aircraft and assorted other vehicles, but the Ambulance variant of the Wiesel, for instance is not. Likewise a supply truck that has a machine gun mounted to the cabin for self-defense against aircraft (and, in a pinch, infantry) isn't a waffentrager either, because it's role is to ferry goods around.

The 100L of water was there for one reason, supply. But they put it under the vehicle to help lower the centre of gravity and a healthy side effect of that was added protection, regardless of how minimal

Nothing To See Here Just China Playing "chubby bunny"

Manpad with luxury of lazychair. It must be too tiring to stand and look into sky...

O Governo do Brasil vai comprar o C-139 já que apenas comprou um Avião KC-390 o Cargueiro e só um de tecnologia avançada não vai investir em outro substituto já que só o Hércules funciona e quelé ferro velho de. 4 Motores a Alice Beberão de pouco Espaço não economiza nada de de combustível só o KC -390 tem dois motores voa mais rápido e Alto e bebe menos Combustível se compra o C-139 já e uma melhora na Força aérea do Brasil.

With drones and cruise missiles being more popular so is this an interesting system as the missile is cheaper then other systems due to complex control systems are housed in the launcher instead of the missile.

We never lost the war. We were forces to stop the war by the west and stupid politicians.

Well, Airbus need hell amount of time to beat the 70yrs old design of C-130s and still going thru Maybe is just like comparing the A380 vs B-747, in my point of view Well, as a user of Hercules (B/E/H/J-30 and few L-100) Indonesian Airforce will surely learn something new of Strategic Airlifter, when our A400M arrive in near future

Denel and South Africans in general were super intelligent and innovative and created some amazing machines like the Rooivalk which would match the Apache and created world leading armoured anti-mine vehicles like the Buffel and the Ratel etc. And then the ANC Government took over and corruption and incompetence turned it all to sh1t.

I knew that beautiful piece of engineering from my childhood in the eighties and nineties when it was in service with the German police in lower-saxony 😢 - made me fall in love with helicopters 🤩🥰

One of the Eastern Blocs strongest cards in the Cold War

MANPAD? More like MENPAD. It takes four guys and radar station. Ukraine wants more of everything. If people stop giving them weapons, this Special Operation would be over quickly.

MANPADS are good against enemy aircraft, drones, missiles etc, but one should also consider value of cost. RBS-70 missile would be updward of US$ 3 million but an armed drone can be cheap, from say US$ 5000 up, so attrition cost will end up being higher to take it down. Drones do not fly very high, so imagine taking down Drone that costs $ 5000 with missile that costs 3 million, for say taking down 1000 drones, the cost to drone operators $5 million but cost to missiles $3 billion !!! But on the other hand a modernised Bofors 40 mm gun linked to targeting radar will be way cheap to use, & able to take down the target at much cheaper cost. So I think the 40mm or even higher caliber guns with better programable ammo can be more cost worthy than missile specially for cheap targets liek drones.

Which is more advaced technologi ppa or freem

that aircraft is amazing! the best aircraft ever according to me !

Did we try to make something similar to this but was unsuccessful?

I have read that the RBS70 was/is deployed on naval platforms. I Can't seem to recollect the role they were supposed to fill. I'm guessing it was against low flying anti ship cruise missiles or probably against small IED boats/ sea drones..

Decades ago South Africa was going to sell loads of Rooivalk helicopters to Australia, as it is better than the US Apache choppers. The USA then forced the Aussies to purchase their Apaches, or else it would impose sanctions on them ... for those of you who didn't know ...

South Africa needs to create is own engine, if not this helicopter has no chance, the French won't allow a competitor to grow.

A great helicopter. It's weakness was the main transmission.

Practice makes perfect. You cant make a great jet without making a few not so great jets.

I don't understand why a "family" of vehicles is offered when all drive lines have different suppliers.

Also there was HAWK missile batteries

Looks sort of heavy.

This is one of the coolest APCs ive ever seen

I dont know if you read comment but in case you do i love your show, expecially when you do stuff operating in Ukraine. Thanks for your work

Very good pronunciation of ilmatorjuntaohjus!

Another wonderful video about RBS- 70 ...Anti -aircraft Swedish manpad System .video clearly explained all characteristics of that successful weapon in short range. Also explained its historical backgrounds...thank you🙏 ( weapon detective 🕵️‍♂️) channel for sharing

Really interesting weapon, as many types of weapons constructed in Sweden

This channel loves to label random unknown weapons from Nordic countries, which are never proven in action & has no market success, as "legends". They are, were & will never be anywhere near legend status in reality. (Some weapons from that part of the world are actual legends. i.e., Karl Gustaf recoilless gun, Bofor 40 mm machine-canon)

Canada is joining the RBS70ng club, it was confirmed in February 2024.

Resumindo Necessidade de defesa + vontade política e empresarial + capacidade e tecnologia = RBS 70 Brasil usa esse armamento Parabéns Dectetive

more of a crew operated system than man portable. To me man portable should be defined as foot patrol capable/practical by a single soldier if necessary. The viet cong hauled howitzers up mountain trails, therefore man portable??
