The 84mm Carl-Gustaf recoilless rifle holds a significant position within the Indian Army's firepower. This versatile, man-portable, multi-role weapon system has proven indispensable across a range of combat scenarios, from urban warfare to challenging high-altitude terrains, demonstrating its effectiveness during its long history of service with the Indian Army, dating back to the first supply agreement in 1974, followed by the first cooperation agreement for production in India in 1976. The Indian Army has consistently evolved its Carl-Gustaf capabilities, having operated earlier M2 and M3 variants. The recent induction and deployment of the Carl-Gustaf M4 represent a substantial leap forward in the Indian armed forces' capabilities.
The Carl-Gustaf weapon system and its ammunition have demonstrated their effectiveness and value in various tactical operations, underscoring their integral role in India's defence strategy. Its versatility allows the system to be used across various terrains, including mountains and dense urban landscapes, and against multiple targets such as tanks, armoured vehicles, soft targets, bunkers, and buildings.
Our AT4 family represents the next step in modern single-shot solutions, ready for anything, providing the capabilities required for mission success, including night and confined space abilities. The AT4 system is the latest addition to India's firepower. The Indian Armed Forces operate the AT4CS AST variant, designed for urban combat with confined-space capability and high effectiveness, helping soldiers operate decisively in close and complex environments.
NLAW, The Next-generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW) is a shoulder-launched, recoilless and disposable anti-tank weapon. The NLAW is a pre-loaded weapon, intended for one firing, has an integrated countermass and can therefore be fired from confined spaces, after which the launcher is discarded. The weapon is intended for combat against armoured targets, such as Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), as well as non-armoured targets.
