Bolide 2 brings a larger warhead and better terminal flight performance for superior capability, and an improved modular design to allow for future updates.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith 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,\u201d says Stefan \u00d6berg, head of Saab\u2019s business unit Missile Systems.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s development.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"postmetadata alt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<small><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis entry was posted<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ton Monday, May 11th, 2026 at 21:00\t\t\t\t\t\tand is filed under <a href=\"https:\/\/soldiersystems.net\/category\/ammo\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Ammo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soldiersystems.net\/category\/international\/\" rel=\"category tag\">International<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soldiersystems.net\/category\/press-release\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Press Release<\/a>.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tYou can follow any responses to this entry through the <a href=\"https:\/\/soldiersystems.net\/2026\/05\/11\/saab-strengthens-rbs-70-ng-with-new-bolide-2-missile\/feed\/\">RSS 2.0<\/a> feed.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou can skip to the end and leave a response.
