The British Army has adopted the new Sky Saber air defense system to fend off “threats” allegedly posed by Russian fighters. On December 6, The Times writes about this, citing sources in the Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense.
According to the publication, the new air defense system has come to replace the Rapier missiles, which have been used since the 1970s. The new missiles have the ability to hit a tennis ball-sized target. The Sky Saber system is said to be able to fly 24 missiles simultaneously, which are capable of destroying fighters and drones.
Journalists, citing sources in the British military, write that the Ministry of Defense was planning to launch a new air defense system to repel threats posed by Russian fighters such as the Su-57.
“The newest air defense system is a vivid demonstration of our combat capabilities to those who want to harm us,” – quotes the publication as words of the Minister for Defense Procurement of Great Britain Jeremy Quinn.
On October 14, Rostec announced that Russian fifth-generation aircraft are haunted by the West, so the Su-57 and Checkmate are regularly targeted by information bulletins.
In July, Nikita Dorofeev, head of the cockpit department of the Sukhoi design bureau, said that in the future, the pilot of the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57 would be able to control the plane with eye movements or voice.
