Kiev will also be supplied with three ARTHUR radars used to detect enemy artillerySTOCKHOLM, May 18.
/tass/. Norway will transfer three radar stations (radars) and eight long-range multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine. The deliveries are carried out in close cooperation with the UK, the Norwegian government said in a press release published on Thursday.
"We must continue to support Ukraine so that it can continue its struggle for freedom and independence. More weapons are needed, and these are the capacities that are very much in demand by Ukraine, which we could not have achieved without close cooperation with the UK," commented Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram.
Norway also decided to transfer to Ukraine three ARTHUR radars from the warehouse of the Ministry of Defense, used to detect enemy artillery.
"The Ministry of Defense is in the process of replacing its artillery radars with new ones. As part of the current investment project, it is planned to supply new radars for detecting artillery guns to the Norwegian armed forces in 2024 and 2025. The MLRS was decommissioned and therefore is not part of the military structure," the report explains.
