By GlobalDataAccording to Saab, the Carl-Gustaf recoilless rifle is a portable, multi-role, combat-proven weapon system designed to meet the needs of dismounted soldiers.
The shoulder-launched weapon system is lightweight and easy to operate and can be deployed in complex combat conditions.
It helps troops in neutralising tanks and clearing obstacles in any intense combat scenario.
The system is now in its fourth generation and operational with more than 40 different nations, including several Nato allies.
The latest version of the weapon system, Carl-Gustaf M4, is designed to meet the advanced combat needs of infantry units, increase tactical flexibility, deliver rapid engagement, and enable a superior hit probability.
Earlier this month, Saab won a contract from the US Army MAAWS Program Office for Carl-Gustaf M4 recoilless rifles.
Canada recently announced additional military support to Ukraine and committed to supplying at least 100 anti-armour weapons systems, Carl Gustav M2 recoilless rifles, and related equipment.
