Saab has launched the new Bolide 2 missile for the RBS 70 short-range air defence missile system. Bolide 2 brings a larger warhead and better terminal flight performance for superior capability, and an improved modular design to allow for future updates. 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. 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.
