The Finnish Defence Forces have ordered anti-tank weapons from Swedish defence and security equipment manufacturer Saab who confirmed the deal in a press release on Friday.
 
Saab said it had received an order for the NLAW anti-tank weapons from the Finnish Defence Force at a value of approximately 32 million euros.
 
According to Saab, Finland first ordered the NLAW short range anti-tank weapon in 2007.
 
The contract includes weapons and training equipment plus an option for additional orders.
 
Deliveries of the anti-tank weapons will take place this year.
 
According to the Finnish Defence Forces, the acquisition of the weapons is a continuation of the purchase made between 2007 and 2009. The purchase answers in particular the needs for territorial defence.
