The Swedish government's offer of Saab’s A26 submarines to Poland has been selected by the Polish government to replace the current Kilo-class submarine. At this point, Saab has not signed any contract nor received any order.
“We are honored to have been selected and look forward to the coming negotiations with the Armaments Agency in Poland. The Swedish offer, featuring submarines tailored for the Baltic Sea, is the right choice for the polish people. It will significantly enhance the operational capability of the Polish Navy and benefit the Polish economy,” President and CEO of Saab, Micael Johansson, said.
The Swedish offer has comprised advanced A26 submarines from Saab, equipped with new innovations and technologies. The proposal has included cooperation with the Polish industry and knowledge transfer, securing a strategic partnership between Poland and Sweden.
Saab and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) will now follow the next steps in the procurement process together with Polish authorities.
