Saab has received a third order for its Mobile Short Range Air Defence system from the Lithuanian Defence Materiel Agency, with the contract valued at about SEK 1.4 billion and deliveries scheduled between 2026 and 2030. The company will supply a third MSHORAD battery to the Lithuanian Armed Forces and integrate the system into JLTV 4x4 vehicles produced by Oshkosh.

 

Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics, said the company remains committed to supporting Lithuania’s defence needs. “We are proud to continue contributing to keeping the Lithuanian skies safe. Our mobile air defence system can withstand even the most advanced countermeasures, giving the user the capability to plan for the expected and to successfully react to the unexpected,” he said.



The MSHORAD system is Saab’s vehicle-integrated mobile air defence solution designed to protect moving units. It combines mobile radar and firing units built around the RBS 70 NG short-range air defence missile and the Giraffe 1X radar, linked through a command and control system and a dedicated datalink that enables fast detection, identification and engagement of aerial threats.
