Norway provides three artillery location radars and eight long-range rocket artillery of the MLRS type. The donations are made in close collaboration with Great Britain.
- We must maintain our support for Ukraine so that they can continue their fight for freedom and independence. More weapons are needed, and these are capacities in high demand for Ukraine that we would not have been able to achieve without close cooperation with Great Britain, says Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram (Sp).
Norway has previously donated three MLRS missiles to Great Britain. Together with the eight that have now been donated, this helped to increase the UK's ability to continue its support to Ukraine.
- This is a weapon that has had a great effect in the conflict, and has given Ukraine the opportunity to delimit Russian supply lines and also to knock out a number of important targets behind the front lines, says Gram.
Norway has also decided to donate three Arthur radars from the Defense's warehouse to Ukraine. These radars are used to locate enemy artillery. The donation will be carried out in collaboration with Great Britain, which has also previously donated this type of radar to Ukraine.
- The Ukrainian people have shown impressive resilience. Their fight is also our fight - for freedom, democracy and security, says the Minister of Defence.
The Defense is in the process of replacing its Arthur artillery locating radars with new ones. The ongoing investment project is scheduled to deliver new artillery location radars to the Norwegian Armed Forces in 2024 and 2025. The MLRS has been decommissioned by the Norwegian Armed Forces and is therefore not part of the military structure.

Pope hopes to send peace envoys to Kyiv and Moscow
Pope hopes to send peace envoys to Kyiv and Moscow
Pope Francis has said he hopes to send personal peace envoys to the Ukrainian and Russian presidents to try to broker a ceasefire in the war, according to the Catholic website Il Sismografo.The website, which specialises in Vatican news, said this is the "mission" Francis spoke of cryptically when he was returning from Hungary last month.
According to the website, the plan would be for Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna to go to Kyiv for talks with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and for Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti, the head of the Vatican's department for eastern churches, to go to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin.
It said both presidents had agreed to meet with the papal envoys, without citing sources or giving details.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said he had no comment on the report but pointed a reporter to recent comments by Vatican secretary of state Cardinal Pietro Parolin that "now is the moment to take the initiative to create a just peace in Ukraine".

I find the assumed moral equivalence of the Russian position revolting. If Russia had wanted peace it could have had it.
Every Sunday my church is bidden to pray for peace ........ a fair number of the congregation mutter "victory" at the appropriate moment.

Well this looks really cosy…not. let’s hope the door sticks, bearing in mind the shoddy work on the rest of the Russian military might, one assumes the high tech chronograph timepiece operating the door lock has probably been replaced by a eBay $1-99 Chinese timex knock off.
