Fast forward Februar 2023:

Sweden is reportedly rethinking plans to build a second generation of the iconic Visby-class corvette, with Stockholm seeking a larger capability that can be delivered faster.

In 2021, Saab signed two agreements with the Swedish defence procurement agency FMV for the new corvettes and an MLU for the existing Visby-class.

Now, Sweden is considering plans to procure hulls from abroad that Saab could fit out to gain new capabilities quickly.

Stattdessen kommt die Lulea Klasse mit gegenüber dem Visby MLU (Größenordnung Simbad-RC/SPIMM/RBS 70) deutlich verstärkter Luftverteidigung.

“The Luleå-class will be larger than our existing Visby and Gävle-class corvettes and will be equipped to operate in all levels of conflict against surface, air and sub-surface targets. The ships will be important additions to an active defense and they will also be adapted to international contexts with our partner countries.”
