Saab has signed a contract with the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation for deliveries of the Carl-Gustaf M4 weapon, ammunition and training equipment, with an order value of approximately SEK 510 million (£41m) and deliveries scheduled for 2026 to 2028, the company stated.
The procurement covers the weapon system, associated ammunition and training kit intended to support Danish forces, according to Saab.
The company said the contract continues a long-standing relationship, noting that Denmark has used Carl-Gustaf systems, locally known as Dysekanon, since the 1970s and took delivery of the M4 variant in 2022.
“Carl-Gustaf M4 offers unmatched precision, portability, and a wide range of ammunition options, ensuring that Danish forces are well-equipped to handle diverse and evolving threats,” said Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics, in the press release. “We look forward to continuing our long-standing support for the Danish Armed Forces.”
Saab describes the Carl-Gustaf as a man-portable recoilless rifle that is reusable and adaptable for a variety of missions, and said the new deliveries will sustain the system’s availability for Danish units, according to the company.
The order follows Saab’s ongoing efforts to support international customers. Deliveries are set to take place from 2026 to 2028, when the equipment, ammunition and training materials will be handed over to the Danish authorities.
I bet that must be a rush, when you fire one.
Never fired anything like that but I’ll guess there are a few on here who have.
Bit of Plinking with my .22 is fun too !
read that as a tourist you can find firing ranges in Cambodia that will let you fire RPG-7
now you know your next holiday destination 🙂
Hated the version I had to carry, 1980/1990’s . Bloody heavy and awkward to carry. New developments seem to be a lot more soldier friendly. Better than nothing when taking on metal units.
not sure i would want that on today’s battlefield. seems very risky to be in line of sight distance in Ukraine, much better off using a cheaper FPV with much longer range and accuracy
seems most if not all NATO militaries are stuck on their old ways and aren’t really learning from Ukraine, because there have been significant tactical evolutions since early 2022. even 155mm artillery rounds are less relevant.
NATO is far behind the curve on drone production compared to Ukraine and Russia. We are in extasy when we announce 10,000 units produced in a year, when Ukraine is producing about 4 million a year, not sure what Russia produces but i imagine it must be substantial
I don’t think western politicians are beginning to realize the quantities required and currently in use in that conflict
