The Norwegian government proposed to the parliament to order more launchers and fire control centers for NASAMS air defense systems from the manufacturer in order to transfer them, in particular, to Ukraine. The investment of the order will reach NOK 3.45 billion – more than EUR 300 million.

Literally: “The government proposes to the Norwegian Parliament to order ten more launchers and four fire control centers for the NASAMS air defense system from Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace (KDA). This is being done in addition to the purchase of equipment that has already been transferred to Ukraine.”
Details: According to Defense Minister Bjorn Arild, the Norwegian NASAMS system saves the lives of Ukrainians and prevents the destruction of buildings and infrastructure.
“Russian missile and drone attacks are widespread and brutal, so air defense is absolutely critical for Ukraine,” he commented.
At the same time, the minister is concerned that Norway acquires air defense systems for its own defense as quickly as possible.
How much equipment from the new order can be delivered to Ukraine is not specified.
