US EditionSweden orders new Saab torpedoes
- On 7 May 2025, Sweden's Defence Materiel Administration placed a SEK 1.3 billion order with Saab for Torped 47 lightweight torpedoes and launch systems, with deliveries starting in 2026.
- This follow-up order builds on the initial deliveries from late 2022 and reflects Sweden's decision to strengthen naval defenses amid increasing Baltic Sea security tensions.
- Torped 47 can launch from submarines, surface ships, and potentially helicopters, and is especially designed for shallow, complex Baltic Sea environments demanding advanced navigation and target identification.
- Mats Wicksell, leader of Saab's Kockums division, highlighted that the system provides Sweden with a complete package of weapons, maintenance resources, instructional programs, and ongoing technical assistance to ensure operational readiness.
- The contract forms a key part of Sweden's broader strategy to modernize underwater weapons and reinforce its naval position without drawing major public attention amid shifting Baltic security dynamics.
