Norway to donate anti-tank missiles to Ukraine

“This is a weapon that Ukraine has asked for, and it will prove useful in their fight against Russian invasion forces. The missile is easy to operate, and can be used against both land- and sea-targets,” said Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram.

Norway’s armed forces checked the condition of the missiles before they were sent. Moreover, the Ukrainian military has been trained in the use of Hellfire, the report adds.

Norway also gave Ukraine night vision equipment, including goggles and binoculars.

“Currently, we and our allies have been transferring military systems and equipment from our own stockpiles. In the future, we will need to work closely with the defense-industrial complex to ensure the necessary supplies of military equipment to Ukraine. This will also ensure that Ukraine receives more modern and efficient equipment,” Gram noted.

Earlier, on September 8, top defense officials of allied countries are holding another meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, the so-called Ramstein-5.
