The Polish Ministry of National Defence (MND), Armaments Agency (AA), and Saab announced an order for more than 6,000 Carl-Gustaf M4 recoilless rifles on their websites on 4 March.
Saab valued the agreement between it and the Polish State Treasury and AA at SEK12.9 billion (USD1.26 billion), although the AA gave a higher value of over PLN6 billion (USD1.53 billion). A Saab spokesperson told
Janes
on 8 March that the contract was awarded in SEK.
The AA said the Carl-Gustaf M4s would be supplied with FCD (fire-control device) 558 sights and several thousand munitions: anti-tank, high-explosive (HE), armour-piercing, multifunctional, smoke, illumination, and training ammunition. Saab expects the contract to come into effect by mid-2024, and deliveries are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.
In addition to the Carl-Gustafs and their ammunition, the order comprises a logistics package, including spare parts and special tools, and a training package, including simulators and training in the employment of the weapons and their munitions and in servicing and repairing the M4s.
