Saab has entered into a framework agreement with the Latvian Ministry of Defence concerning the RBS 70 NG short-range ground-based air defence system and has secured an order under this agreement.
The order which includes RBS 70 NG firing units and missiles as well as trainer units is valued at SEK 2.1 billion and deliveries are scheduled between 2026 and 2030.
“Saab continues to support the Latvian National Armed Forces with a strong ground-based air defence capability which will significantly enhance its crucial ability to detect and engage aerial threats,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.
The RBS 70 NG system features an automatic target tracker and a built-in night sight and provides the user with capability to defeat threats including aircraft, drones and missiles from distances of up to nine kilometres.
