General information

The Sky Sabre is a British anti-aircraft missile system. In the early 2000s, the UK government signed a contract with MBDA UK to develop a new universal missile for the Future Local Area Air Defense System (FLAADS) program. The program aimed to replace the outdated Rapier anti-aircraft systems, which had been in service since the 1970s. The result was the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM), which can be used on land, sea, and air platforms. The first launches from Royal Navy ships occurred in 2018. In 2023, a version with an extended range was developed in collaboration with the Italian company Avio: the CAMM-ER.

The Sky Sabre anti-aircraft missile system includes six self-propelled vertical launchers, each with eight containers. Each container is equipped with a mast-mounted IRST for autonomous or passive target detection. Saab's Giraffe Agile AMD radar is mounted on a retractable mast. The SAMOC (Rafael) fire control center processes data from the radar and other sources and issues commands to the launchers. Information exchange and communication within the complex are implemented via Link 16. The Sky Sabre anti-aircraft system, utilizing the CAMM missile, entered service with the British Army in December 2021.

The Sky Sabre (TEL) was introduced in Update 2.49 "Tusk Force". This complex consists of three parts: Target Acquisition and Designation Sight (TADS) equipped with a radar and two launchers with missiles (TEL). The launchers do not require additional research and can be used in combat via the TADS. The vehicles are equipped with CAMM or CAMM-ER missiles. These highly maneuverable missiles can track and engage targets at considerable distances. Both models have active radar homing, inertial guidance, and a datalink. However, the vehicle has weak protection against shrapnel, is large, cannot fight tanks, and cannot be used if TADS is destroyed.
