#Canada supports Ukraine's #LongRange weapons to prevent, interdict Russia’s ability to degrade Ukrainian civilian infrastructure & kill civilians
This is called #leadership
@paka Sweden has not sent any long-range weapons, so it's quite easy not to impose any limitations. I have argued that Sweden should send the RBS15, which is a very advanced missile system with a range of over 300 km.

Re the Saab RBS15.
Not familiar with the #RBS15. Read the basic information on the #Saab website.
Does the RBS15 use Terrain Reference Navigation (TRN)? If so is that data available deep inside Russia?
Also I understand America's classified cartographic data may not currently include air defense zones deep inside Russia
I'm not well versed on these weapons yet to find the technology quite interesting.
@paka It is primarily a naval missile system, but later versions can be used to intercept land targets. I don't think the system is ideal for hitting targets deep inside Russia, but I'm just guessing here. According to open sources, the navigation is based on GPS, INS and active radar guidance.
@paka Here is a YouTube clip about the latest version https://mastodon.nu/@joesticker/113134578568907736
