ASRAD-R
Contents
Description
The ASRAD-R is a rank VII Swedish SPAA with a battle rating of 10.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Hot Tracks".
The ASRAD-R received a number of improvements over the Lvrbv 701: The launcher array is now unmanned and located higher above the ground, which allows for the hull to remain in cover while still being effective in all directions thanks to the increased horizontal traverse angles. With access to 8 long-range supersonic missiles, the ASRAD-R proves to be quite deadly, especially against enemy helicopters.
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Horizontal traverse of 360° allows for more flexibility compared to the Lvrbv 701
- BOLIDE missiles with greater range (9 km) and velocity (700 m/s) are a tier II modification
- Access to 1st generation thermals and high magnification in the gunner sight
Cons:
- Limited anti-ground capabilities due to poor gun depression of -5° and low penetration of 200 mm
- Subpar mobility and armour protection as a result of using the M113 chassis
- High profile and thus easy to spot, especially when the radar is active
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
