Norwegian army has taken delivery of K9 155mm howitzers and K10 ARVs
Posted On Tuesday, 24 September 2019 08:23
Last week, the Norwegian army has taken delivery of the first K9 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzer and K10 ARV Armored Resupply Vehicle. On December 2017, Norway’s defense ministry has announced the purchase of the K9 155 artillery self-propelled howitzers designed and manufactured by the South Korean Company Hanwha Land Systems.

The contract also includes the artillery howitzer K9, ammunition and K10 resupply armored vehicles will reach an amount of $383 million. A total of 24 K9 155mm howitzers and six K10 ammunition resupply vehicles were ordered by Norway.
This is the second Scandinav country after Finland that has purchased the South Korean K9 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzer. In February 2017, the Finnish defense minister Jussi Niinistö has announced the purchase of 48 South Korean K9s artillery howitzers for a total amount of €146 million ($155 million).
The K9 155mm tracked self-propelled in now in service with South Korea, India, Poland, Finland, Estonia, Norway and Egypt has performed evaluation test of the K9.
The K9 nicknamed Thunder is a South Korean 155mm self-propelled howitzer based on tracked armored chassis developed by Samsung Techwin for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces and now manufactured by Hanwha Land Systems.
The main armament of the K9 Thunder consists of a 155 mm/52 caliber ordnance with a maximum firing range of 40 km. A total of 48 projectiles and their associated charges are carried for ready use. Internally an automatic loading system takes projectiles from the storage position and places them onto the ammunition tray ready for ramming.
This self-propelled howitzer has a crew of five, consisting of commander, driver, gunner, assistant gunner, and loader.
The K10 ARV is an ammunition resupply armored vehicle responsible for re-arming the K9 Thunder. It is built upon the K9's chassis. Maximum transfer rate of shells is 12 rounds per minute, and the maximum load of shells is 104 rounds.
The reloading process is fully automated. The reloading is done through a munition bridge on the K10 that extends out to lock itself into a reception hole located at the rear of the K9. This allows the unit to rearm itself under harsh combat conditions without the crew having to expose themselves to the combat environment.

“By accelerating the upgrade of coastal corvettes to the Navy and tanks to the Army, we can both build defense capabilities and support the Norwegian industry”, says Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen. "These are measures that help companies get back on track and get people back to work while also getting a faster strengthening of the Defense," the Minister of Defense said.
In addition, there are proposals in the government's proposal for a new long-term plan for the defense sector to investigate new vessel structures for the naval defense. This also provides increased opportunities for the Norwegian maritime knowledge cluster.
NOK 600 million to upgrade CV90 combat vehicles
The Norwegian government will accelerate and spend almost NOK 600 million on the upgrading of the Army's CV90 tanks and infantry support vehicles. In the new long-term plan for the defense sector, the Army will operate four mechanized battalions, all set up with CV90 combat and support vehicles. A delay in the work on upgrading these units means that, in the first instance, the Army will be supplied with another 20 CV90 combat and support vehicles. The acquisition will be carried out directly from the Norwegian industry in the period 2020 to 2023.
Research and development
The government will increase the allocation for defense-related research and development work by NOK 20 million in 2020. This means an increase from NOK 71 to 91 million. This will help to secure employment and expertise within a demanding area of the Norwegian industry and business. It will also position the Norwegian industry and business towards future acquisitions, both nationally and internationally. In addition, the strengthening will enable faster development of future planned projects.

Leopard 2A7 has been chosen by Norway after an open and fair competition. The contract is for 54 new build tanks delivered from 2026 and will increase Norway’s total Leopard 2 fleet to 90 tanks.
K2 performed slightly better, but not enough to justify the logistical challanges and the political downsides (both Sweden, Denmark etc operate Leopard 2's) etc.

Também inclui a opção para mais 18
Mas não irá levar a frota para um total de 90 tendo em conta que pelo menos 8 A4 irão para a Ucrânia para já, por Abril devem aparecer

Norway announces plans to increase military spending
Norway has announced plans to increase its military spending by approximately $56 billion over the next twelve years, until 2036. This decision by the Norwegian government revealed on April 5, 2024, aims to strengthen the nation's defense in response to Russia and other security challenges.
This substantial increase in military expenditure will elevate the total defense budget to 1.62 trillion crowns during this period. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre described this plan as a significant enhancement across all branches of the armed forces, with the Finance Minister noting that by 2036, annual defense spending will be about 83% higher than current levels after adjusting for inflation.
This move comes amid heightened debate in Norway on military spending, spurred by the conflict in Ukraine and the perceived need to guard against potential Russian aggression. Despite Norway sharing an Arctic border with Russia and having no history of conflict with its eastern neighbor, the government believes it's crucial to prepare for a more dangerous and unpredictable Russia in the coming years.
Thanks to its sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest with assets totaling 17 trillion crowns, Norway can afford this defense spending increase without cutting budgets for hospitals or schools. The government also intends to maintain its annual spending from the wealth fund to 3% of total assets.
Norway has committed to raising its defense spending in 2024 to 2% of its GDP, aligning with other NATO members' objectives. Initially, Norway planned to reach this target by 2026 but had already allocated 1.57% of its GDP to defense in 2022, according to NATO data.
The new long-term defense plan includes significant force enhancement, more personnel, and new capabilities. "Ensuring the security of the Norwegian people is the government's most fundamental task. We need a defense that is fit for the emerging security environment," stated Støre. The plan specifically mentions bolstering the navy with new frigates, submarines, and other vessels, introducing Norway's first long-range air defense system, expanding the army with three brigades, and increasing the national guard to 45,000 soldiers.
Norway's economic model, based on utilizing its natural resources, uniquely positions it to increase national security spending without compromising public services. The proposed defense investments are expected to benefit the entire country by creating jobs and stimulating Norwegian investments.
The government will focus on improving the current defense structure, investing in military personnel, enhancing surveillance capacity, and establishing a robust maritime and air defense package. The plan also aims to enhance Norway's capability to receive allied reinforcements and operate in coordination with allied forces, including Sweden and Finland, within the NATO framework.
This ambitious plan will require significant resources, more personnel, and substantial investments, committing the current government, future governments, and parliament over time. It aims to ensure long-term stability and predictability for the Norwegian armed forces, sending an important signal to allies and other international actors. Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram emphasized that while Norway and NATO pose no threat to anyone, they must be prepared to defend themselves in case of crisis or conflict, thereby deterring any potential threats to their sovereignty.
In recent years, Norway, as an active NATO member, has engaged in significant military programs to modernize its armed forces and strengthen its defense capabilities against contemporary security challenges. These initiatives include acquiring 52 F-35 Lightning II fighter jets to replace the aging F-16 fleet, estimated at $10 billion, with deliveries starting in 2017 and continuing until 2024. Additionally, Norway plans to upgrade its submarine fleet by replacing the Ula-class submarines with four new 212 CD class submarines, a project in cooperation with Germany costing several billion euros, with deliveries expected in the early 2030s.
On land, Norway strengthened its forces by ordering 74 M2A4 combat vehicles and 8 recovery vehicles from German company Rheinmetall in 2019, aiming to renew and enhance ground troop capabilities. To replace the aging P-3 Orion fleet and bolster maritime surveillance and anti-submarine capabilities, Norway invested approximately $1.5 billion in five P-8A Poseidon aircraft, with deliveries starting in 2022.
Beyond conventional domains, Norway has also focused on developing its cybernetic and space capabilities, including protecting critical infrastructure and enhancing surveillance and communication abilities, demonstrated by the launch of the NORSAT-2 military communication satellite in 2017.

Todos os anos a Noruega chama todos homens e mulheres com 18 anos para se apresentarem, sao 60 mil por ano. Desses escolhe 9000 que vão azer um serviço militar de 19 meses, como o processo de selecção é muito rigoroso e privilegia a qualidade, isso faz com que o serviço militar tenha um enorme prestígio e seja motivo de orgulho.

O problema é que neste espaço quando se afirma que um novo SMO para as nossas FA deve ser em novos moldes os contra-argumentos baseiam-se sempre no SMO que tivemos.
