-''The RBS 70 (Robotsystem 70), is a Short-range Air Defense (SHORAD) laser guided missile system originally designed to be launched from a tripod, but has later been adapted to be fired from weapon-platforms and warships.The missile weighs in at 15kg and features a 1.1kg warhead comprised of 3000 tungsten pellets together with a directional shape-charge penetrator.''
+<!-- ''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the missile.'' -->
-The missile is powered by an initial booster charge together with a smokeless solid propellant engine making the missile able to reach speeds from mach 1.6 to mach 2 depending on the variant. The missile has an operational range of 250m - 8km, and a maximum flight altitude of 5000m.

 The missile is a so called "beam-rider" and navigates towards a laser designated position, thus requiring the user to continuously "lase" the target until the missile reaches the target.The missile features both a proximity fuse and a direct impact fuse, giving the missile the ability to detonate in close proximity to aircraft or via a direct hit.
 === Effective damage ===
-''The missile features two methods of damage; shrapnel using pre-fragmented tungsten pellets and a shape-charge penetrator with the secondary mostly being used against low-speed targets such as hovering helicopters and slower low-flying aircraft.''

 == Usage in battles ==
-''The RBS 70 is primarily used as a short range ground to air missile, but can in-game be used as an anti-vehicle missile if the situation calls for it.''
+<!-- ''Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)'' -->
 === Pros and cons ===
-''The RBS 70 is a short ranged missile with a small payload making it suitable at engaging helicopters rather than aircraft, even if it is capable of doing so; especially if the missile is intercepting an incoming aircraft. The warhead however is lacking in explosive power thus does not guarantee a one-hit-kill and limits the anti-tank usage of the missile both using the kinetic penetration and the high explosive damage. The laser designation and the smokeless engine makes the missile harder to detect but also forces the user to keep a constant lase on the target making it a bit of a double-edged sword.''
