Which Countries has the best?
If you start with the top ten?
If you start with the top ten?
the best anti air defence is the one that's on my side, atleast I hope so
Depends on what kind of Air Defence. If we are talking low level threat then I think the RBS-70 is one of the best systems around, not just due to lethality and range etc but because of the portability, flexibility and very low battlefield signature.
But nothing goes past Spitfires and Bofors guns.... and chuck in a couple of searchlights.
The RBS-70 is a very good system for dealing with low level threats, add a NASAMS system and you have a lethal perimeter defence running.
I totally agree with you on the Bofors and searchlights!
Abu Dhabi - A $6.9 billion purchase of the Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) system by the United Arab Emirates will probably take around 18 months now that the U.S. Congress has cleared a sale of the antimissile weapon, Lockheed Martin’s Denis Cavin vice president of international air and missile defense said Feb. 23 at the IDEX arms show.
Raytheon has won an award of up to $3.3 billion to provide Patriot missiles and systems to the United Arab Emirates, the Tewksbury, Mass., company said Dec. 18.
The UAE becomes the 11th country outside the U.S. that has bought Raytheon's Patriot missile systems and services. The UAE contract is for advanced Patriot air and missile defense capability, whole life support and related training. Raytheon will provide the UAE with Patriot Config-3 capabilities, its most advanced Patriot system, and the Patriot GEM-T missiles. The Config-3 system allows the use of Lockheed's PAC-3 missiles, which Lockheed will provide to the UAE under a separate contract.
