In a statement, DSCA said: “This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the US by improving the security of a Nato ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.”

The AMRAAMs sale will provide advanced air-to-air capabilities to the Norwegian fleet of F-35A Lightning II aircraft, allowing the country to meet existing and future threats.

According to the agency, this sale will also allow Norway to fulfil Nato missions and meet US European Command’s goal of combined air operations interoperability and standardisation between the US and Norwegian forces.
