Norway Cleared for Black Hawk Buy
1 source · first reported 13h ago
The US has approved the possible sale of 21 Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawks to Norway, valued at $2.3 billion, to replace the Royal Norwegian Air Force's fleet of Bell 412s. However, the deal is unlikely to conclude due to Norway's delay in acquiring new helicopters.
Why it matters
The acquisition of new helicopters would modernize Norway's fleet and enhance its military capabilities. The deal's postponement may impact the country's defense readiness and interoperability with other nations.
