This is the third consecutive year that we have increased the defense budget and we will continue to do so” said Erna Solberg on Friday during an address before the Washington-based think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Norwegian Armed Forces will buy for its Air Force Navy an important number of M1 Abrams The Leopard 2A4 tank which is seen as a rival of the Russian military T-90 tank. The Leopard 2A4 most widespread version of the Leopard 2 family, the 2A4 models included more substantial changes, including an automated fire and explosion suppression system, an all-digital fire control system able to handle new ammunition types, and improved turret with flat titanium/tungsten armour. Norway’s current conservative government has authorized also the purchase of 22 US-built F-35 joint strike fighter aircraft, including the nuclear capable F-35A.
