Swedish aerospace and defence company Saab has been engaged to deliver recoilless rifle Carl-Gustaf ammunition in a deal worth around US$274 million.
The breech loaded shoulder-controlled weapon ammunition will be delivered to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration between 2026 to 2030.
Saab president and chief executive officer Micael Johansson said the order is placed within a framework agreement between Saab and FMV which allows purchases of Saab’s ground combat weapons Carl-Gustaf, AT4, and NLAW, including ammunition and equipment.
“We are proud to continue to deliver our world-leading solutions to Sweden and contribute to the Swedish defence capability,” he said.
“This order secures the Swedish Armed Forces supply of Carl-Gustaf ammunition and is a result of the weapon’s capacity and robustness.”
The multipurpose Carl-Gustaf recoilless rifle has already been in use by Swedish Armed Forces since 1948. During 2018, FMV signed a contract for deliveries of the latest Carl-Gustaf M4 iteration of the weapon.
