Sweden and Denmark have announced a joint procurement of British/Swedish Tridon Mk2 self propelled anti aircraft systems for Ukraine, valued at approximately $290 million, according to reports from Reuters.
The Tridon Mk2 is recognized as one of the most cost effective and efficient solutions for intercepting "Shahed" drones at short ranges.
Key Specifications & Impact:
• Range: Effective up to 12 km.
• Firepower: A high rate of fire reaching 300 rounds per minute.
• Cost Efficiency: Utilizes relatively inexpensive 40mm ammunition, making it sustainable for long term defense against low-cost loitering munitions.
• Scale: Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson noted that the systems provided under this deal are sufficient to form a full anti-aircraft battalion.
Heritage and Development
The Tridon Mk2 is built upon the proven foundation of the classic Bofors autocannon. It represents a collaborative engineering effort between Britain’s BAE Systems and Sweden’s Saab, merging traditional reliability with modern targeting technology.
