The Norwegian government has chosen the South Korean company Hanwha as the provider of its new missile system.
”This is one of the largest investments ever made by the Army,” Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik said in an announcement.
The procurement includes launchers and missiles, as well as integrated logistics support, training materials and support systems. The cost is NOK 19 billion (€1,65 billion). […]
The establishment of a new missile battalion is now starting in Bardufoss, northern Norway. About 750 people will be employed in the battalion.
From Bardufoss, the missiles might have sufficient range to hit the Pechenga Valley, where two of Russia’s most potent land forces are based; the 71st Guards Motorised Rifle Division and the 61st Naval Infantry Brigade.
Norway will acquire a total of 16 mobile rocket launchers, which easily can be moved around in the region in the case of a crisis or war. Läs artikel
