Last month, Saab announced plans to provide AT4 weapons and Carl-Gustaf ammunition to Lithuania after securing a contract worth Skr1.3bn. Deliveries for this order are planned between 2027 and 2029.
This arrangement is part of an existing framework agreement between the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and Saab, which permits Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to acquire Carl-Gustaf M4 systems, related ammunition, and AT4 weapons.
The AT4 and Carl-Gustaf systems are designed for ground combat operations. AT4 is a disposable weapon and the Carl-Gustaf is serving as a man-portable, multi-role recoilless weapon.
