British Army
Sky Sabre is operated by 16 Regiment Royal Artillery (16 RA) under the command of 7 Air Defence Group. Land Ceptor provides Sky Sabre and the British Army with over three times the range of the preceding Rapier system. Major Tim Oakes, Senior Training Officer for the Sky Sabre training programme is quoted as saying: "Sky Sabre is so accurate and agile that it is capable of hitting a tennis ball-sized object travelling at the speed of sound. In fact, it can control the flight of 24 missiles simultaneously whilst in flight, guiding them to intercept 24 separate targets. It is an amazing capability."
