As a Swede, I am very happy that our military products work in Ukraine exactly as we have planned.
SuperSam already sounds pretty stupid -unless it’s a big flamed burger from Sammy’s.
We call it “SuperCum” in Ukraine 🤝

Leve Ukraina och god jul!
Since the RBS 70 is SACLOS guided and not infrared homing like the Igla, does that mean that you have to maintain a line-of-sight to the target until impact? I feel like if there was any sort of cloud cover or buildings nearby that that could cut off SACLOS guidance.
