STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Finnish defense authorities have awarded a follow-on contract to Saab for an additional delivery of the company's widely deployed air defense technologies.
Sweden-based Saab announced it has been selected by Finland to deliver an order of its Robotsystem 70, or RBS 70, ground based air defense system.
Under the approximately $35.6 million order, global defense contractor Saab will deliver its RBS 70s, a short-range man-portable laser guided missile system, to the Finnish army.
"This is very positive and it further proves the capability of the RBS 70 system which until now has been exported to 18 countries located on all five continents," Tomas Samuelsson, Saab Business Area Dynamics head, said in a statement.
