拉脱维亚 and 爱沙尼亚 Place Orders for Carl-Gustaf M4
Saab has received orders from 拉脱维亚n Armed Forces and 爱沙尼亚n Armed Forces for deliveries of Carl-Gustaf® M4. Deliveries will take place in 2021-2024.
The orders are placed within a framework agreement signed by the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) in June 2019, 这使得瑞典, 拉脱维亚 and 爱沙尼亚 to place orders for Carl-Gustaf M4 weapon systems during a ten-year period.
“We are pleased to announce 拉脱维亚 and 爱沙尼亚 as our latest customers on Carl-Gustaf M4. Both nations have a history of more than two decades of Saab’s Carl-Gustaf system. We look forward to further strengthen their ground combat capabilities with the latest version of the system,Görgen Johansson说, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.
“The new generation anti-tank grenade launcher Carl-Gustaf M4 is definitely a big step forward for a soldier who has been trained in this field and has dealt with older versions, M2, especially in terms of walking with a weapon. The new weapon is half as light. This joint procurement is a very good example of cooperation with neighbouring countries, where the parties reached the most economically advantageous and best deal. Co-operation between defense countries is one of the most important ways to increase the defense capability of our region,拉米尔·利普说, Chief of Category (Armament) for the 爱沙尼亚n Centre for Defence Investment.
“Acquisition of the most recent generation recoilless rifle marks another key milestone in Baltic and Nordic cooperation. Joint procurement provides significant economic benefits to both 拉脱维亚 and 爱沙尼亚, as well as increasing regional interoperability and cross-training with our allied forces. Procurement of Carl-Gustaf M4 together with earlier ammunition procurements also greatly improves operational capabilities of the 拉脱维亚n National Armed Forces and paves way for long-term modernization of our armed forces,Artis Pabriks说, minister of defence of 拉脱维亚.
Carl-Gustaf M4 is the latest version of the portable, shoulder-launched, multi-role weapon system. It gives users a wide range of engagement options and allows troops to remain agile and effective in any scenario. It builds on the system's formidable capabilities, offering a higher degree of accuracy, lighter construction and compatibility with future innovations. The M4 is also compatible with intelligent sighting systems and future technology developments, such as programmable ammunition. 自2014年推出以来, Saab has signed contracts with thirteen different nations for the Carl-Gustaf M4.
