Norway will transfer the country’s armed forces into a regime of increased combat readiness from November 1 due to the war in Ukraine. This was announced at a press conference by Prime Minister Jonas Gar Sher, writes Reuters.
“This is the most serious situation in the field of security for several decades. There are no signs that Russia will distribute hostilities to other countries, but intensification of tension makes us more vulnerable to (military – ed.) Threats, reconnaissance operations and influence campaigns. “, – he said.
According to the Minister of Defense of Norway Bjorn Aryng Gram, the troops will spend less time for preparation and more on the performance of operational tasks.
Air Force abolished the exercises in the United States, preferring to leave the military in their homeland, said General Airist Christofferzen, head of the Armed Forces. In addition, Oslo will put into regular operation a new P-8 Poseidon sea aircraft fleet to hunt for submarines.
