Whether the following has any game impact or not is to be seen.
First half on truck mounted
NASAMS in Ukraine. Latter half is on where the
USA is going in their system.
"According to
Colonel Per Steinar Trøite, head of the Norwegian Air Force’s support department for Ukraine, the
NASAMS systems deployed to Ukraine have achieved an
outstanding 94 percent effectiveness rate, a figure that highlights the advanced capabilities of this air defense system in
real-world combat. In an interview with Aftenposten, Norway's largest daily newspaper,
Colonel Trøite detailed the significant impact of NASAMS, revealing that it has
successfully intercepted over 900 cruise missiles and drones, with more than 60 percent of these targets being cruise missiles, which are notoriously difficult to defend against."
In today's world that is a
very impressive success rate at having a
94% kill rate. That includes also
300+ drones.
To defeat that many cruise missiles equipped with
minimal EW is
excellent.
Radar can pick up and track
multiple targets out to 75 miles.
"The system’s missile engagement can be executed at
varying ranges depending on the type of target. For example, while the
AIM-120 missile has an effective range of up to 180 kilometers against some targets,
NASAMS typically engages threats at a closer range—often between 25 to 50 kilometers—to maximize interception accuracy and minimize the risk of a missile getting through. "
In the field even we use them
mounted on trucks (OSHKOSH FMTV 6x6.). The
USA will be fielding them in
2025/26. They were
also fielded with
HIMARS launchers already.

(The MML has since been replaced under another program. Also, in parallel an autonomous system is also being developed currently as well, also truck mounted with "chopped off" cab design.)
They as pictured are also used for "
static" defense of
Strategic assets such as airfields etc.
