Norway to Purchase 54 New Leopard Tanks

Norway said Friday it will buy 54 new generation Leopard 2 tanks to replace older versions, adding it faced “one of the most difficult security situations since World War II.”

Planned for several years, the order will enable Oslo to renew its fleet of 36 aging Leopard 2A4 tanks, some of which are to be donated to Ukraine.

The Leopard 2A7 order with German defense manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann is part of a 19.7 billion kroner ($1.96 billion) defense allocation already adopted by parliament.

The exact cost of the tanks was not specified. There is an option for 18 more new Leopard 2A7s.

“We find ourselves … in one of the most difficult security situations since World War II,” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store told reporters at the Rena military base.
