Bolide 2 retains the unjammable guidance method used by RBS 70 with its previous missile generations. Deliveries are starting in 2027 and this new missile will become the standard ammunition for RBS 70 NG.

"With Bolide 2 we are ready to provide our customers with an even more capable missile, ready to be adapted for any new threats in the sky. RBS 70 users can benefit from improvements including a more powerful warhead, whether they are operating in the man-portable role or, as is increasingly common, from a vehicle firing unit," says Stefan Öberg, head of Saab's business unit Missile Systems.

Bolide 2 can be fired from the latest RBS 70 NG or prior generations. A series of successful test firings have already been conducted as part of the missile's development.
