Overview
- Saab introduced the HEAT 758 during a live-fire customer demonstration in Karlskoga, Sweden, in May for use with the Carl-Gustaf M4.
- The round targets tanks fitted with explosive reactive armor by using a tandem warhead and a Non‑Initiating Precursor designed to pierce the outer box without setting it off.
- A Firebolt digital link shares data between the munition, the M4 launcher, and the Fire Control Device 558 to ease aiming and raise the odds of a first-round hit.
- Saab cites up to 700 mm main-charge penetration with an effective range near 700 m and a 255 m/s muzzle velocity, in a sub‑1 m, roughly 7 kg round with carbon composite and titanium parts.
- An undisclosed Carl-Gustaf user has ordered the round and Saab says production is underway, with all performance details reported by the company and not yet independently verified.
