Ukraine uses Swedish RBS-17 missile systems
The Ukrainian army began to use the Swedish light anti-ship system RBS-17. The complex is capable of firing at ground targets. The Robotsystem 17 was developed in 1987 and is a transportable tripod for a rocket launcher. RBS-17 uses the American AGM-114C Hellfire missile with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and a semi-active laser seeker that requires target illumination. Several RBS-17 launchers can operate under the control of one observation station. The RBS-17 complex was discontinued in the nineties. The firing range of the RBS-17 complex is 10 km.
