Argentina to Get Saab RBS 70 NG Short-Range Air Defense Systems

Saab has won a contract to deliver of the short-range air defence systems RBS 70 NG to the Argentine Armed Forces.

The Argentine Navy has been a user of the RBS 70 since 1984 and is now upgrading to the latest RBS 70 NG. The contract entails a further expansion of the country’s usage of the RBS 70 NG system to the Air Force and to the Army. The RBS 70 NG systems, training simulators and missiles delivered, will therefore be used by the Argentine Army, Navy and the Air Force.

RBS 70 NG is the latest iteration of Saab’s short-range ground-based air defence system. It has unjammable laser-guidance as well as an integrated night sight.
