RBS 23 BAMSE The RBS 23 BAMSE is a system of air defense of medium - range developed by the Swedish Saab . The RBS 23 have a Range of 15 km . Description . Sweden has shown a fertile defense industries , notably aerospace , where in addition to good military aircraft also has modern and good missiles . One of these is the excellent missile air defense system RBS - 23 BAMSE , developed by Saab Bofors and Ericsson . This system allows a medium - range air defense capable of attacking targets with precision and agility small and fast at distances of 15 km and at an altitude of 15 , 000 feet . To get an idea of the efficiency of this system , even anti - radar missiles and glide bombs can be destroyed by Bamse . The propulsion of Bamse is made by a booster that imposes a violent acceleration and a motor secondary solid fuel that keeps the high speed at Mach 3 ( 3 , 200 mph ) . This ensures the speed trap . A battery system Bamse comprises a monitoring center equipped with a three - dimensional Ericsson Giraffe AMB radar with a range up to 100 km and three control centers missiles . The Giraffe radar antenna is positioned on a mast 13 meters high . The monitoring center has the ability to manage up to four control centers and missile to track over 100 targets simultaneously . The monitoring center is positioned at a distance of 20 km from the centers of missile control and communication between them can be made by cable or by radio frequency . The control center also has its own missile fire control radar , whose range reaches 30 km and an infrared detection system IRST for support in acquiring the target . A system identification friend foe ( IFF ) is also part of this set . Each control center missiles can be equipped with up to 6 RBS - 23 Bamse ready to fire and recharging those six missiles can be done in less than four minutes , ensuring speed to combat the condition . The guiding Bamse is the type of CLOS ( command to line of sight ) with support from the radar . With this system the missile needs to be pointed right toward the target and released . During the course against your target , get updates Bams positioning of the target coming from the control center with its missile systems IRST , radar , fire control and radar surveillance center , giving the updated parameters of the positioning of target . The Bams is in operation in Sweden and Saab intends to sell this modern system to 10 countries . Among the nations that have shown interest in System Bamse are Australia , Brazil , India and Pakistan .

Soviet submarine B - 39 B - 39 was a Project 641 ( ) diesel - electric attack submarine of the Soviet Navy . The " B " ( actually " Б " ) in her designation stands for большая ( " bolshaya " , " large " ) — Foxtrots are among the largest non - nuclear submarines ever built . B - 39 is now a museum ship on display at the Maritime Museum of San Diego , California , United States . Service history . Her keel was laid down on 9 February 1962 at the Admiralty Shipyard in Leningrad ( now known as Saint Petersburg ) . She was launched on 15 April 1967 and commissioned on 28 December 1967 . Transferred to the 9th Submarine Squadron of the Pacific Fleet , " B - 39 " was homeported in Vladivostok . She conducted patrols and stalked U . S . warships throughout the North Pacific , along the coast of the United States and Canada , and ranging as far as the Indian Ocean and the Arctic Ocean . After the end of the Vietnam War , she often made port visits to Danang . During the early 1970s , " B - 39 " trailed a Canadian frigate through Strait of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver Island . In 1989 in the Sea of Japan while charging batteries on the surface , " B - 39 " came within of an " Oliver Hazard Perry " - class frigate of the US Navy . Both crews took pictures of each other . Post - USSR history . " B - 39 " was decommissioned on 1 April 1994 and sold to Finland . She made her way from there through a series of sales to Vancouver Island in 1996 and to Seattle , Washington , in 2002 before arriving in San Diego , California , on 22 April 2005 and becoming an exhibit of the Maritime Museum of San Diego . During her sequence of owners she acquired the names " Black Widow " and " Cobra , " neither of which she had during her commissioned career . When " B - 39 " was made a museum the shroud around her attack periscope was cut away where it passes through her control room . As built , a Foxtrot ' s periscopes are only accessible from her conning tower , which is off - limits in the museum . With the shroud cut away , tourists can look through the partially raised periscope ( which is directed toward the museum , some away ) . However , the unidentified and unexplained change gives the false impression that one periscope could be used from the control room . At an undetermined future date the B - 39 is slated to be sunk to create an offshore diving reef .
