The Lithuanian Armed Forces have received another batch of Saab-manufactured Bolide missiles worth 2 million euros ($2.2 million).
The guided missiles are primarily used in the RBS-70 short-range man-portable air defense system to engage hostile low-flying aircraft, cruise missiles, and drones at a range of up to 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) and pierce armor up to 200 millimeters (7.8 inches) in thickness.
This delivery follows a previous missile package valued at 15 million euros ($16 million) delivered last year. Both are part of a broader 2022 deal for Saab to supply Bolide and Mk-2 missiles for the RBS-70 in service with the Lithuanian Army Air Defense Battalion.
