I guess SAAB Defense systems must be separate from SAAB Motorcars division which went bankrupt? I don't see their cars or dealerships in Canada anymore.

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for making us aware that the U.S. Army acquisition officials "have signed a multi-year framework agreement for delivery of the Carl-Gustaf M4 weapon system, designated M3E1 in the US.
Sweden’s aerospace group Saab added the first delivery order amounts to $9 million with deliveries expected in 2019.
"The recently signed framework contract has a duration of 3 years and gives the U.S. Army the opportunity to place orders for M3E1 systems for a total value of approximately $9 million. The M3E1 84-mm recoilless rifle is a combat-proven system capable of operating in demanding environments that provides soldiers with clear overmatch capability needed to dominate in the battlespace.
The system has been regularly modernized and enhanced to meet users’ changing needs. The latest version, the Carl-Gustaf M4 (designated M3E1 in the U.S.), reduces the launcher weight from 10 kg to less than 7 kg, among several other significant improvements."
