![]() Norway split its planned tank purchase into a base number of vehicles and the optional 18 after originally planning to acquire 72 tanks. With this acquisition and the planned purchases of drones, air defenses and long-range fire, Norway will in a few years have an army that is small, but also one of the most modern in Europe,” Chief of the Army, Major General Lars Lervik, added. “This means that one of the important building blocks in the ongoing modernization of the army is in place. It is positive and also a clear signal of continued strengthening of the Armed Forces,” Norway’s armed forces chief General Eirik Kristoffersen said. “New tanks will increase the fighting power of the armed forces and increase the defense capability. The first of the new Leopards are expected to be delivered in 2026, to replace the ageing Leopard 2A4NO tanks that were bought used in 2001. ![]()
