“It is a huge ramp up.” 400,000 per year!
“Saab plans ‘huge ramp up’ in NLAW production to reach 400,000 units a year”
“Swedish manufacturer Saab has predicted production of the company’s Next generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW) system will increase dramatically to reach an annual output of 400,000 units.
Used by Ukrainian soldiers to devastating effect against Russian forces, the shoulder-launched munition continues to be in high demand as European nations look to replace stockpiles after gifting thousands of units to Kyiv.
“In the context of how we have doubled capacity from one year to the next at our Swedish [NLAW] sites…and by 2025 we will have doubled capacity again, then it will be possible to generate 400,000 units from our sites per year,” said Saab CEO Micael Johansson during a Feb. 10 financial results media briefing. “It is a huge ramp up.””
