Ukraine Scores First Hit with 'Iconic' SAAB RBS 70 Laser Guided MANPAD, Taking Down Russian Chopper

Ғылым және технология

August 17th's morning brought significant activity for the Ukrainian air defense, as they successfully targeted and destroyed two highly sophisticated Russian Ka-52 Alligator helicopters. One incident occurred near Robytyne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and the other took place near Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast. Notably, one of Ka-52 Alligator helicopters was taken down by the 47th Mechanized Brigade using a Swedish RBS-70 MANPAD. The deployment of the RBS-70 MANPAD, which has been captured on video, marks the first visible confirmation of Ukraine employing this system in combat.

    I did my military service as a technican on RB70 in the swedish army. Great weapon to shoot down helicopters. They have no chance to avoid the missiles. After the cold war most air defence regements were closed in Sweden. So Sweden have had many RBS70 in storage that now have been send to Ukraine. Bofors and now SAAB have now improved the system with night time ability and the adaption of AI.

Well Russia responded and is whipping the crap west real good and has been doing so for 1 1/2 years (but sure, this was one helicopter downed). Dream on about WUNDERWAFFEN.

    Unless newer models have changed, the RBS 70 uses a rear looking sensor that detects where the missile is located in the guidance beam The power level of the laser is low and at a different wavelength than the more common 1.06 Micron NDYAG lasers. If a laser warning system does not carry a sensor just for the RBS 70 missile, they won't detect the beam. But a standard missile warning system would detect its launch.

    For this type of guidance it would be normal to offset the missile for at least half the flight both to avoid the missile obscuring the target and also to limit the possibility of alerting the target. Image processing algorithms track the target and direct the laser in “assisted tracking” (manual only can be used). I imagine that when the missile appears smaller than the target the laser can be directed on to target without offset. I suspect the missile is also tracked and the laser only used when it drifts of target.

    IIRC the missile can be set to automatic proximity detonation but also triggered manually by the operator. On another note, again IIRC, I think the operator also gets audio feedback if the unit is aiming towards the target as guided by a radar that can be (and probably should be) in a completely different location (mobile radar unit PS-90 is pictured in the referenced facebook post, which was somewhat designed to be used in conjunction, but I think other radar units could be used as well).

    The lack of a firing signature is the most impressive part of the whole system. there was almost no smoke at all. The MANPAD system is an essential piece of any modern army, but if the operators are constantly counterfired and taken out of the fight, then the systems effectiveness is greatly reduced. It's mostly a psychological problem. a soldier firing a MANPAD that knows he'll be seen vs. knowing he wont be seen is a game changer. In the US army we were taught that we had a max of 3 minutes to displace before we would most likely have incoming rounds. This was in the 90's so that standard may have changed.

    I guess you could even use it against ground vehicles, but of course it wouldn't have the penetration needed for armor, since it's to take out flying object/aircraft. But it rides a laser-beam so I mean it likely would do some good damage towards a van or something like that. But that is beside the point. The beauty is that it cannot be defeated other than escaping its range and perhaps "deke" out of the way at last moment or something. Not going to happen with slower moving flying craft.

    The real benefit of the RB70 is its range and laser range finder. A Stinger can't go beyond 4,000 meters, the RB70 can do 6,000 meters. The KA-52s anti-tank rockets can do VIKHR anti-tank missile 8,000-,9000 meters. So the KA-52 has to stay out of the RB70s range and still be high enough to fire its rockets. That is tricky on a battlefield where the KA-52 doesn't know exactly where the RB70 is located until the rocket is almost on top of the helicopter.

    This is 50 year old tech. Certainly during the 1980's and beyond, laser detectors were updated to detect this frequency, given the RBS70 was deployed by a number of countries. For defense, modern laser sensors should be able to determine origin of a beam, tag the coordinates, and direct weapons against it. Much higher velocity cannon fire could get the operator first, or explode into thick smoke in between to block the laser beam. Even a close miss will throw the operator off his aim. The Russians didn't expect this weapon in Ukraine, so initial surprise and success. But they should be able to adapt their tactics to rapidly fire on any laser emitter of that frequency. At least, a Western military could. Russian?????? One thing that is certain in war -- things are always changing, and technical advantages are very fleeting. Especially with a weapon the Russians have likely been training against since the 70s.

    Nice, in the 80s we trained and used with a thing called "RL-83 Blindicide" you can find it in Google, it was a tube in 2 pieces, with a hinge. So you could transport it on the top of your backpack. It had to be handled with 2 persons, the shooter and the loader. The last one was the unlucky one, because he had to wear the rockets. This was 50s material, but it shot tanks with ease. Strange thing, the weapon had a face shield. And with gloves on, your hair on your arms and your face disappeared from the heat of the rocket. Later we had the LAW that is still used, I think? When we were deployed in Congo we used the Blindicide, but the RLC-83 which had a bigger warhead. If I see these systems, together with the Javelins, we had ancient tech, lol. Not that I envy today's warfare with the drones.

    At 2:10 you have an Alligator downed in a "dead winter field" that is all brown. This isn't the recent downing. At 3:40 another brown field. I view this as a WONDERFUL sales video. Substantiation of the hit is LACKING.
