Norway to Buy US Air Defense Missiles for More Than $360 Million
Norway has agreed with U.S. authorities to buy AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM air defense missiles for more than 4 billion Norwegian crowns ($362.91 million), the Norwegian military said Monday.
"With more and newer missiles, the Norwegian Armed Forces will have a better ability to protect Norway against air attacks," Norway's Defense Minister Bjoern Arild Gram said in a statement from the Norwegian Defense Material Agency.
Have a feeling that the US military complex is going to work overtime in the near future. Europe is preparing for war.
The warmongers are fully in control. That is what runs the US State Department.
People like Blinken should be tried for treason.
Depends on who you ask. I believe the US will benefit greatly when they can sell military equipment.
The Military Industrial Complex are part of the warmongers in my definition. I dont separate them. Those financially benefitting are just as guilty.
I dont blame the regular workers in the factories. They only do whatever is required of them.
The missiles are primarily intended for Norway's ground-based air defense system, but can also be included in the weapons inventory of F-35A fighter aircraft, the agency said.
The procurement was among the largest single procurements of weapons ever made for the Norwegian Armed Forces, according to the agency.
Norway, which is a member of NATO and shares a border with Russia, has vowed to ramp up defense spending following Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. ($1 = 11.0220 Norwegian crowns)
