| MARS |
The Czech Republic is taking a serious step towards strengthening its air defense — the country has ordered 24 MARS (Mobile Artillery Rocket System) combat vehicles equipped with modern RBS 70 NG anti-aircraft missiles. This is not just a replacement of old equipment, but a real modernization aimed at combating the threats of modern times — drones, helicopters and low-flying targets.
The MARS system, developed by the Swedish company Saab, is a mobile complex on a wheeled chassis that quickly turns around, shoots and leaves the position. Instead of artillery, there are launchers for RBS 70 NG, light but very accurate laser—guided missiles. They are ideal for short and medium range damage.
The RBS 70 NG is no longer just an old anti—aircraft gun. It is a digital, interference-proof system capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 9 km. And the main thing is to react quickly to sudden threats, for example, when a drone appears from behind a hill and flies directly to the base.
For the Czech Republic, which is actively modernizing its army and strengthening its defense in the face of an unstable situation in Europe, such an order is a logical and timely move. Now the Czech troops will have a modern, mobile and effective shield against air attacks — and all this on wheels, without being tied to stationary objects.
