This defence system appeared in the NO MORE HEROES series. It was one of Holly Summers‘ signature weapons in her career as a ranked assassin. It fired laser-guided, anti-aircraft missiles with planar fins for keeping them stabilized after launch. Summers‘ use of RBS-70 was particularly deadly as the missile system’s intended purpose was for anti-aircraft warfare, as opposed to the close-range detonation of her opponents fighting on the surface. RBS-70 may have seen usage by the LB.ARMY, as Summers, herself an experienced soldier, chose to fight her Ranking Battle at Body Slam Beach, a known training ground for the military group.

Notes
- RBS 70 is an actual weapon system used today, which originated in Sweden. This was likely intentional, as Sylvia Christel began explaining Summers was from “Sw-” before dropping the topic.
- The weapon was referred to generically in English media until its official name was printed in NO MORE HEROES: Behind the Scenes. The name had however been published as early as the Japanese book NO MORE HEROES OFFICIAL GUIDE UAA RANKER’S BIBLE.
