IDET 2019: A FUT and three pipes ...

Fun must be had. And military fairs are serious enough in themselves. No wonder we had a good laugh when we found a very sharp device at IDET 2019 in Brno in the Czech Republic. Well, what can we say. The wonderful world of military abbreviations. If the Czech comrades ever practice with German-speaking units one day, there will be a lot of laughter.

This is FUT, by the way.

Here are all the technical data.

Where there's a FUT, there are many tubes. Two are ready, one is already clamped.

Yes, with this gentleman who is looking up at the sky. That's the RBS 70 NG from Saab, which will be introduced as an air defense system for the Czechs in 2020. HERE all information on the procurement. Deployment video above in the lead image.

The operator puts his head in there.

Then the tube speaks: the RBS 70 NG can operate up to eight kilometers away. HERE all technical data on the device directly from Saab.

The missile gunner sits on the launching device, which can be set up in 30 seconds.

Looking over the barrel. HERE is the product video from SAAB, showing Czech missile gunners at work.
