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 financial 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
A Swede /Kjell has pointed out the the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) published perhaps the latest specification of the (being built) A26 submarine. Other sources (eg. Wikipedia) are largely reliant on 2015 information while the FMV specifications are dated April 13, 2018 at
