The Depot Materielverk (FMV) has ordered fine-caliber ammunition for the Armed Forces’ needs in 2024–2025 to a total value of approximately SEK 2.8 billion.
Suppliers are Nammo and Norma.
“In our endeavor to create long-term conditions, the contracts with the two suppliers also contain options that can enable deliveries until 2030,” says Carl-Axel Blomdahl, head of department at FMV, in a press release.
In the contracts – which concern calibers from 5.56 to 12.7 millimeters – there are also requirements for security of supply where the suppliers must develop a plan to secure deliveries to the Armed Forces in both peace, crisis and war.
“Achieving a long-term perspective creates good production conditions, and several suppliers contribute in themselves to increased security of supply,” says Blomdahl.
