| Notes | The Dutch army was one of many countries that adopted the Bofors 40mm for use as a medium anti-aircraft gun. The Dutch received 46 of these guns via Poland and Hungary as these two countries built these weapons under licence. The Bofors was a classic design and was one of the most famous anti-aircraft guns ever produced. The Dutch issued these guns to medium anti-aircraft batteries. |
