An investigation by SVT and international media reveals that underwater robots from Saab have been used in Russia's secret Harmoni surveillance system in the Arctic. The robots were delivered to Russian customers until 2018 in compliance with export rules but ended up with the Russian military. Russia has also produced copies of the technology.

France has signed an agreement with Saab to purchase two GlobalEye reconnaissance aircraft for approximately 12.3 billion kronor. The deal includes ground equipment, training, and support, with deliveries scheduled for 2029–2032. Defense Minister Pål Jonson welcomes the order as a success for the Swedish defense industry.
