The expansion of NATO at the expense of Sweden and Finland will lead to a review of defence policy in Norway. In the focus is the question of how it will change the Alliance and the military planning of the Northern States belonging to it.
According to the American journal of Breaking Defense, this was stated by the Minister of defence of Norway bjørn Arild Gram.
said Gram.
He noted that in 2024 conducted in the Arctic zone every two years the teachings of the Cold Response, which has about 30 thousand military personnel from 27 countries of Europe and North America, will be renamed into Nordic Response. Part of their operating areas will be Finland and Sweden.
In the new geopolitical map of Finland will be presented as a front-line NATO and Sweden will provide a greater depth of the defense. Theoretically, it can liberate Norway from having to invest heavily in its frontline forces, and will instead allow you to reallocate funding to other areas of the defense.
Although Turkey and Hungary have not given consent to receiving Helsinki and Stockholm in NATO, the Alliance has addressed the situation, saying "when" not "if."
