Saab Awarded Indian Contract for AT4 Support Weapon

February 7th, 2022

Saab’s AT4 weapon has been selected by the Indian Armed Forces through a competitive programme for a single-shot weapon. AT4 will be used by the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force. 

The Indian Armed Forces are a new customer for AT4. This order includes the AT4CS AST, which can be fired from confined spaces such as from inside buildings, bunkers and other urban environments. The AT4CS AST offers a tandem warhead with a breach or blast mode, which is optimised to defeat enemies within buildings and to destroy structures, which can create a point of access into them.

The contract was signed by FFV Ordnance AB, responsible for Saab’s Ground Combat offer in India. 

“We are honoured that the Indian Armed Forces, which are already users of our Carl-Gustaf system, have also selected Saab for their single-shot weapon need. The Indian Army and Indian Air Force can be confident in the knowledge that they have the necessary firepower to give them the advantage,” says Görgen Johansson, Head of Saab’s business area Dynamics. 

AT4 is one of the most popular and successful support weapon families on the market. Operated by a single soldier, this single-shot system has proven efficacy against structures, landing craft, helicopters, armoured vehicles and personnel. Its 84 mm calibre warhead offers enhanced power and performance.

Cobalt Kinetics Expands Pro-staff to include Greenline Tactical

February 7th, 2022

Feb 7th, 2022: Cobalt Kinetics, a manufacturer of American Masterpiece firearms; is proud to announce the addition of team Greenline Tactical to the Cobalt Kinetics pro-staff of factory shooters. Team Greenline features a cadre of highly skilled instructors like; Sam Houston, Erik Vargas, Eric Butler, Jim Carter, and Don Edwards (as the main instructor & CEO).

The Greenline Tactical team brings a plethora of experience stemming from the Law Enforcement, Military, and Night Vision technology sectors. For example, Don Edwards and Sam Houston have become subject matter experts (and leaders) in the Night Vision industry and have lent their expertise to help create a standardization for NVG “Night-fighting” and NVG use for LE Patrol/ SWAT operations. Additionally, Erik Vargas is a skilled precision instructor, a former U.S Army Ranger (Sniper), and a champion level competitive shooter (2X National Sniper champion). These are just a few examples of the multitude of expertise that Greenline Tactical brings to the Cobalt Kinetics team.

“As we build our company’s new path, we want to make sure that real world expertise is introduced into our R&D and QC processes. By adding the Greenline Tactical team to our pro-staff we are ensuring that our approach to introducing new products is not met with an echo chamber of approval. We need individuals that will pick apart our designs before they have even left the prototype phase. If the product is not ready, then we need to know ASAP. This will ensure that customers receive only the very best that we can possibly offer. We also hope to curve the trend of having celebrity names on a company’s roster solely to draw attention. Everyone on the Cobalt team is expected to roll up their sleeves and help with the unified goal of continuously refining the product.”

-Aaron Quinn (Owner/ CEO)
