Saab receives order for three submarines for Poland

Swedish defense and security company Saab announced it has received an order for three submarines for the Polish Navy. The order is part of Poland's naval "Orka" modernization program, which aims to replace the country's current submarine fleet.

Saab stated that the contract also includes other naval defense systems and life-cycle support. The company has not disclosed the financial value of the order, but it is expected to significantly impact future results for Saab's marine business area.

Poland's Ministry of National Defence has been focused on modernizing its armed forces in recent years, responding to shifts in the regional security landscape. The acquisition of submarines is a key element of this effort, enhancing Poland's capabilities in the Baltic Sea and beyond.

Saab has a long history in submarine construction, and its A26 submarine is designed to meet modern naval warfare requirements. The new submarine capability will bolster the Polish Navy's capacity for intelligence gathering, maritime surveillance, and combat operations.
