How successful would a modernized Bofors TAK 120 have been if introduced in 2010?
Short answerIt would be useful, but its success is uncertain because the 2010 market offered few likely buyers and strong competition.
NotesThe TAK 120 is considered a useful gun, but commercial success in 2010 would depend on finding buyers in a small shipbuilding market. Earlier orders from Finland and Indonesia had produced a limited customer base, and Bofors had already lost ground to competitors. A later comment about a 40 mm system concerns a mistaken identification and is corrected when the calibre is restated as 120 mm. A stronger market at the time of the discussion is considered possible. The answer remains uncertain about who would have ordered a modernized version in 2010.
