Flashback
The RBS 70 is a man-portable surface-to-air missile system developed in Sweden by Bofors Defence (now Saab Bofors Dynamics). The system uses laser-guided BOLIDE missiles. They are capable of engaging targets at ranges up to 8km and altitudes up to 5km. Man-portable air defence systems have a recharge time of only 2 seconds.
