The order is the third one placed within the framework agreement signed in 2017 between Saab and Latvian Armed Forces. The framework agreement allows the Latvian Armed Forces to place orders for AT4 systems. "This order demonstrates the customer’s belief in our AT4 system and in Saab. We are proud to provide our customers with AT4 systems that fulfill their specific demands and needs," says Gorgen Johansson, head of Saab business area Dynamics.

Saab's single-shot AT4 weapon system is combat proven and provides the capabilities required for mission success, including night and confined space capabilities. Since the introduction in the mid-1980s, the AT4 has been exported to more than 15 countries worldwide.
