Saab selected to supply Poland's new submarines
Sweden and Saab have been selected by Poland to supply new submarines. The Swedish government's offer of Saab's A26 submarines was chosen to replace the Kilo-class vessels, though no contract has been signed.
Poland's government has selected Swedish defense company Saab and its A26 submarine design to replace its current Kilo-class submarine fleet. The selection was made by the Polish government as part of its naval modernization program. Saab has confirmed that no contract has been signed or order received at this stage.
The proposed A26 submarines are designed with advanced technologies and innovations, particularly suited for operations in the Baltic Sea. The Swedish government's offer includes plans for industrial cooperation and technology transfer to Polish entities, aiming to foster a strategic partnership.
This agreement, once finalized, is expected to provide a significant boost to Poland's naval capabilities. The focus on Baltic Sea suitability suggests a strategic alignment of defense priorities for Poland in the region.
Saab, along with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), will now proceed with the next steps in the procurement process in coordination with Polish authorities. The finalization of the deal will depend on ongoing negotiations.
