As a Swede I'm happy to see that our Swedish weapons are in the right hands.
I believe we've sent 5000 AT-4[1]. I'm not sure this is one of them though. From a rough Google Image search this does not look an AT-4. But what do I know...

" - I swear, if I have to put up with any more of these damn daily stand-up meetings, I'm bringing my SAAB to work and going to town." " - Oh, you got a new car?" " - Not exactly"

They are manufactured by Thales Air Defence in Belfast, Northern Ireland, using parts supplied by a variety of sub-contractors which include Saab of Sweden.

- unicornporn 5y agoThanks. I'm glad someone knows these things better than I do. I'm also happy (and sad) that someone else will have to do the dirty job of firing these beasts.
