Sweden Saab Kockums has just 2 orders for its A26 - and the customer is the Swedish Navy. Export orders (eg. for the Netherlands' Walrus Replacement and Poland's ORKA Program) are desperately needed:
- to share the developments costs for the A26
- for Saab's bottom line, and
- for foreign exchange for Sweden.
Below is some of the most recent material on the A26
Poland's Casimir Pulaski Foundation
From Poland's Casimir Pulaski Foundation paper: “Poland’s ‘Orka’ submarine programme. Part 3. The A26 submarines – Swedish Offer: Pulaski Policy Paper No 8, 2018 May 11, 2018 at

Sweden's FMV
