Saab missar jättekontrakt på luftvärn i Indien

Försvarskoncernen Saab missar en order på luftvärnssystemet RBS 23 Bamse för 22 miljarder kronor från Indien, skriver DI. Landet uppges ha blåst av upphandlingen och i stället valt inhemska luftvärnssystemet Akash.

Saab hade tävlat om kontraktet i sex års tid i en av sina största exportkampanjer, skriver tidningen.
