Increasing the level of readiness of the Norwegian Armed Forces

According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, media sources announced on Monday the increase in the level of readiness of the Norwegian armed forces.

According to “AFP» On Monday, the Prime Minister of Norway announced the increase in the level of readiness of the Norwegian army. This country shares a border with Russia in the Arctic. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gare Store has said that there is no direct threat to Norway now.

He said, now there is no reason to believe that Russia intends to attack Norway or any other country, but the Ukraine war showed that all NATO members should keep their readiness.

Norway’s Defense Minister Arlid Gram also stated that the increase in the level of preparedness of the armed forces includes logistics, communication security and security in military installations. Norway, which has increased its military budget, has a 198-kilometer border with Russia.

Relations between Norway and Russia have been cold amid the war in Ukraine, as well as long-standing tensions over the militarization of the Svalbard archipelago, disputes over espionage claims and economic disputes.

Some time ago, media sources claimed that Russia has deployed a number of its strategic bombers near the Norwegian border.

The Norwegian “Factisk” website, citing satellite images, claimed that the Russian Air Force has deployed several of its strategic bombers capable of carrying atomic bombs, including “Tupulov-160” and “Tupulov-95” at the “Ulenya” air base, about 32 kilometers away. The Norwegian border has moved.

Images of Russia’s Ulenia Air Base on the Kola Peninsula near the Norwegian border show the increased presence of Russian long-range strategic bombers.

These planes have the ability to attack targets in the United States and all of Europe with atomic bombs. These bombers are usually based at the “Ingles” air base, 720 km southeast of Moscow. The variable-wing Tupolev-160, nicknamed “White Strong”, is a Russian supersonic strategic bomber. This bomber is somewhat stealthy.

Some Russian experts claim that in the event of this conflict, NATO forces will be destroyed within half an hour at most. Russian nuclear-tipped missiles can be launched from land, air and sea, and some contain self-guided warheads.
