It looks like the Israeli company Rafael updated their family of SpyDer Surface to Air Missile (SAM) systems to add new missile types and made adjustments on existing ones. Remember that the SpyDer is the system that our Air Force is interested in acquiring.
I am not exactly sure about the specific details of the adjustments that they made, but on the surface what they did was add a new version called the “ER” which in between the “SR” and “MR” in terms of range; then they increased the range of the “MR” from 50 km before to 60 km now.
And last is that they added another version called the “LR” which has a longer range than the “MR”. So now there will be four types of SpyDer systems instead of just two:
- SpyDer SR, 20 km range
- SpyDer ER, 40 km range
- SpyDer MR, 60 km range
- SpyDer LR, 80 km range
These adjustments will give buyers options on which system they want to buy in terms of capability and cost. No news yet on what version our Air Force will get, hopefully it will be the longest ranged one.
