Norway provides three artillery location radars and eight long-range rocket artillery of the MLRS type. The donations are made in close collaboration with Great Britain.
Norway has previously donated three MLRS missiles to Great Britain. Together with the eight that have now been donated, this helped to increase the UK’s ability to continue its support to Ukraine.
Norway has also decided to donate three Arthur radars from the Defense’s warehouse to Ukraine. These radars are used to locate enemy artillery. The donation will be carried out in collaboration with Great Britain, which has also previously donated this type of radar to Ukraine.
The Defense is in the process of replacing its Arthur artillery locating radars with new ones. The ongoing investment project is scheduled to deliver new artillery location radars to the Norwegian Armed Forces in 2024 and 2025.
The MLRS has been decommissioned by the Norwegian Armed Forces and is therefore not part of the military structure.
