Norway to supply Ukraine with NASAMS air defence systems

Norwegian government approves new military aid package for Ukraine

The Norwegian government has approved a new military aid package for Ukraine that includes NASAMS air defence systems. The package, which is worth around 500 million euros, also includes other military equipment and training.

NASAMS air defence systems

NASAMS is a short-range air defence system that is designed to protect against aircraft, cruise missiles, and drones. The system has been used by the Norwegian military since the early 2000s, and it has also been sold to several other countries, including the United States, Spain, and the Netherlands.

NASAMS is a highly effective air defence system, and it is expected to be a valuable asset to the Ukrainian military. The system will help to protect Ukrainian cities and infrastructure from Russian air attacks.

Other military equipment and training

In addition to NASAMS, the Norwegian military aid package also includes other military equipment and training. This equipment includes anti-tank weapons, ammunition, and night vision devices.

The training that is included in the package will help Ukrainian soldiers to use the new equipment effectively. The training will also help to improve the Ukrainian military's overall combat capabilities.

Significance of the Norwegian aid package

The Norwegian aid package is a significant contribution to the Ukrainian war effort. The package includes much-needed military equipment and training, which will help the Ukrainian military to defend against Russian aggression.

The package also sends a strong message of support from Norway to Ukraine. Norway is one of the few countries that has consistently provided military aid to Ukraine since the start of the war. Norway's support is a testament to the country's commitment to democracy and freedom.
