EldE 98: Missile Trolley


Today well be taking a look at the EldE 98, an advanced SAM system with all-aspect IRIS-T missiles for the top of the Swedish ground forces line!

EldE 98: An SPAA (SAM) for Sweden at Rank VIII


At a glance:
  • IRIS-T missiles, but just four of them
  • Long range detection
  • Unique layout, as the missiles are located on a trailer
Vehicle History Sweden was involved in the IRIS short and medium range missile development program, which were to be chosen to replace the aging RBS 70. The air defense system consisted of several vehicles and command stations, including the Eldenhet 98 SAM, featuring a command module with radar and a towed trailer with a launcher for IRIS-T SL surface-to-air missiles. The prototype of the Eldenhet 98 SAM was first demonstrated to the public in August 2016 at Malm Air Base on the 90th anniversary of the Swedish Air Force.

Introducing the EldE 98!


Swedens new end of the line anti-aircraft missile system featuring the long-awaited IRIS-T missile is coming to the game in the next major update! This vehicle has excellent maneuverable missiles and is rather unusual in its unconventional layout. Specifics, here we come!

Lets first talk about the most important thing on this new vehicle, which are the missiles. The EldE 98 is equipped with a phased array radar, with the IRIS-T missiles themselves having a launch range of about 10-12 km with an altitude reach of about 5 km. Ultimately, the EldE 98 will be your teams go-to for countering airborne threats at short and medium ranges. There are those who will be on the receiving end though! If youre going up against the EldE 98 while playing as CAS, youll need to use advanced precision-guided weapons to avoid encounters with the maneuverable missiles themselves. Its not all glory though, as the EldE 98 only has four missiles, so when playing this thing youll need to stay close to capture points or use the ammo box feature to replenish missiles in a timely manner.

You may have noticed that the layout of this vehicle is quite unique and interesting. This is because the EldE 98 is built on the basis of the Bv410, where the front vehicle houses the radar, crew and engine, while the rear trailer contains the launcher for the IRIS-T missiles. In some cases this unusual layout can increase the EldE 98s chances of survival when hit, but overall survivability is very low, as the armor only protects against rifle caliber. Besides this, all three crew members are located right next to each other and theres nothing they can do to defend themselves against enemy tanks, since theres no machine guns or anti-tank capability at all.
Thats this one wrapped! Youll be able to research the EldE 98 in the next major update when its added to the game. See you there and dont forget to keep an eye on the news for more dev blogs coming your way! Please note that this vehicles characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.

War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.

You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!

In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.

Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.

War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.

  • Right into the heat of battle - Intense PvP experiences in full-scale combat missions on various difficulty settings for all play styles and degrees of experience.
  • A single bullet can make a difference - A realistic damage system for aircraft and ground vehicles involving individual component durability instead of an overall health bar.
  • The true free to play experience - Download and play the game for free as much and as long as you like it. Support the ongoing development entirely at your own leisure.
  • Crossing the platform border - Seamless cross-platform gameplay between Windows PC, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 (more to come) with tens of thousands of players from all over the globe online at the same time.
