Bueskytter (Missile)

The Bueskyttr is an infra-red homing air-to-air missile designed for close combat. It was designed as a single source replacement for the multiple models of missile that were in service during the 80s and 90s and is loosely derived from the earlier Pil. It is designed to retain an extremely high level of maneuverability (reportedly 50g) and engage targets out to 25+km at speeds of around Mach 3.

Since it's introduction in the air to air role the Bueskyttr has been used to develop a family of surface to air missiles in two main forms Bueskyttr-BK and Bueskyttr-BL, to used to provide Short and Medium ground based air defense. Components and systems developed for these two missiles have recently been applied as upgrades to the air-to-air model.
