Swedes Showed How One Missile From Gripen "demolishes" Russian S-400 And Fleet

Impressive video.

Swedish defense concern Saab has released a promo video in which it demonstrated the combat capabilities of the RBS-15 missile, in particular the defeat of components of the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system and the destruction of large surface ships. The missile is used from a ship, ground-based launcher and JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft.

Although the modernized version of the RBS-15 Mk4 Gungnir is not new - it was ordered for the Swedish Armed Forces back in 2017 as a development of a missile in service since the 1980s - the new video clearly demonstrates what targets it is positioned against today.

In the video, a pair of Gripen fighter jets strike air defense elements, specifically the Russian 91N6 surveillance radar, which is part of the S-400 and provides an all-round view at a claimed range of up to 600 kilometers. Together with the radar, one of the launchers of the system is also destroyed.

The naval targets in the video were not Russian ships, but Chinese Type 052D missile destroyers. Saab even indicated the actual board number - 172, which belongs to the destroyer Kunming, the first ship of this class. The video shows the work of self-defense systems - radar jamming and attempts to intercept the missiles with the Type 730 artillery system, which are unsuccessful. In the end, all missiles hit their targets.

Each of the depicted destroyers has a displacement of about 7,500 tons and is equipped with 64 multipurpose guns. Each of the destroyers depicted has a displacement of about 7,500 tons and is equipped with 64 universal launchers. At the same time, Saab did not depict Russian missile destroyers, which is explained simply: there are no such ships in the Russian Navy - there is only an unrealized project 23560 "Leader".

Separately in the video noted the ease of programming RBS-15 thanks to intuitive software. According to the stated characteristics, the RBS-15 Mk4 has a range of more than 300 km, a 200 kg warhead, a total mass of about 650 kg (up to 810 kg with boosters), an active radar homing head, an inertial system and jam-resistant satellite navigation.
