“ | All systems go! - Chaparral emerging from the War Factory |
” |
The M48 Chaparral surface-to-air missile system is a heavy anti aircraft vehicle used by the United States of America.
Lore[]
“ | Got 'em in my sight! - Chaparral preparing to engage enemy aircraft |
” |
The Chaparral SAM system is back from its retirement in the 90’s and even though the frame is mostly unchanged it is now packing AIM-120E SLAMRAAM (Surface-Launched Advanced Medium-Range Anti-Air Missile) missiles. Not only do the new missiles boost performance over the old Sidewinders, but their proven design makes the Chaparral an anti-air platform that can be easily manufactured and that is highly reliable.
The Chaparral is known for three things: precision, firepower and long range. Once a target is locked on and the missile is fired there is no escape for its prey. If your Raptors are not enough then what you need is a Chaparral. It will keep your skies safe and will seriously discourage future air incursions from your enemy. An on-the-fly reloading system means it never needs to pause firing to reinstall a new set of missiles - not that anything will normally ever survive long enough against its ready-to-fire AIM-120E missiles anyway.
