Norway orders $2 billion artillery system from South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace

Hanwha Aerospace's Chunmoo artillery system competed for the Norwegian army contract with U.S. defence giant Lockheed Martin's HIMARS. "Hanwha will deliver launch units and training materials in 2028 and 2029, and missiles in 2030 and 2031," Norway's Defence Minister Tore Sandvik said in a statement. Norway, which shares a border with Russia in the Arctic, says the war in Ukraine has shown that long-range artillery is essential on the modern battlefield. https://vo.la/2t0I6tK
