“Russia is weakened, but we have no ammunition and personnel”: Chief of the General Staff of Norway criticized the state of the troops

Against the backdrop of constant supplies of materiel and combat systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the expected direct military clash with Russia in Norway, neighboring Russia, the depressing state of the country's armed forces is recorded.

As noted in Dagens Næringsliv, Norwegian Chief of Staff Eirik Kristoffersen prepared a report to the Minister of Defense, in which he sharply criticized the current state of affairs in the armed forces, pointing out the unpreparedness for protection due to "significant operational shortcomings."

The likelihood of direct conflict and war on Norwegian soil or on the territory of our allies has increased. Russia is strategically weakened in both the short and long term. However, we lack ammunition, fuel, personnel and air defenses, and our ability to defend against cyber attacks is limited.

- said the head of the General Staff.

According to him, over the past years, multibillion-dollar investments have been directed to the needs of the Ministry of Defense. But their result is not impressive, as the defensive capabilities remain at an unacceptably low level. According to the general, the defensive capabilities have reached the "marginal stage": the country's armed forces are not able to solve the tasks assigned to them.

As he points out, a lot of money is invested in the purchase of new equipment, but at the same time there is not enough financial support for ongoing maintenance, the purchase of spare parts, shells and equipment.

According to the chief of the General Staff, the air defense, fleet, high-precision weapon long range.

Is it like give me money??? Norway should not be afraid for itself.

[Orange Bigg]

The capital of Norway is Oslo. What is the name of the inhabitants of this city? What is the toponym?

[Murmur 55]

Orange bigg , Oslovych-Oslovichka, or, Oslovychanin-Oslovychannka

[Vend]

Apparently, the Norwegians have frozen their brains to the end

[barclay]

Norway should not be afraid for itself.
I wouldn't say so. Any NATO country is a target for us. It all depends on the specific actions of the Norwegians. And they often participate in anti-Russian events, because D. Sam holds his soft spot. Here they groan in fear.

[Myths]

It seems to me that if she goes through hard Norway, she will get it in the block. And the amount of ammunition here does not play a role.

[Uprun]

Russia is weakened, and the Vikings have a bad army. How is that?

[Nexcom]

This is a Russophobic kycosis of the brain.

[dorz]

Quote from uprun

Russia is weakened, and the Vikings have a bad army. How is that?

It is significant that the population of Norway is only 5,5 million people. Some discredit.

[Murmur 55]

Uprun , if I understood this organism correctly, then Russia is now "weakened" it's time to chop off a piece of another in favor of Oslo, but the bad luck is that the army of Norway itself is in a deplorable state, and therefore gild the hand of mines. defense of Norway.

[Orange Bigg]

Gild the pen? Did they appoint a gypsy Minister of Defense?

[Murmur 55]

Orange Bigg, looking at his colleague from the Pentagon and with HIS income, envy covers his eyes!

[novel66]

And there was nothing to plant in the halls, now it’s not enough by ourselves ... Well, excuse me

[opuonmed]

The likelihood of direct conflict and war on Norwegian soil or on the territory of our allies has increased. Russia is strategically weakened in both the short and long term.

Well, to know the Russian Federation is not responsible because of this, they draw such conclusions! or we can’t respond to the supply of weapons or xs cunning plan)

[Gromovanton]

Here, as in Mayakovsky's poems, "I would gnaw out with a wolf, but not ... gnaw ..." :)))

[vadim_ivanov]

They lived, they lived, they didn’t grieve for a century next to us and on those ... Russia has weakened, let’s attack it .. what’s wrong!, they themselves came to this, or someone helped!

[al3x]

Have the Vikings lathered themselves for the war or are they being threatened by someone?
By the way, Switzerland is already making some amendments to its legislation in order to remove the re-export of their weapons from the ban. They trampled on their promoted neutrality, if only to please the Nazis once again. We remember, we won't forget.

[QuestionsNeudobny]

and, this is the same general staff of the Norwegian army, which won all the wars on Earth and space?
I'm embarrassed to ask - how many hours did the Norgs resist the Wehrmacht?

[Victor Leningradets]

It's funny, but the Norgs tried to fight. They sank the heavy cruiser Blucher, damaged the Lutzev pocket battleship, tried to attack in Narvik themselves, but were sunk by destroyers.
And so they are sworn enemies. And it's a pity that the plan of Peter the Great (calculated for the XNUMXth century) to capture all of Scandinavia failed. Would have free access to the Atlantic.

[HAM]

Well, it’s necessary to give out this: “.... Russia is weakened (but it will attack anyway), and we are tired ..... like Norway was not noticed smoking “jambs” ... or did it immediately go “heavy” ??

[Legate]

Certainly weakened. Russians kill Russians. Moreover, they kill, including with weapons that were intended for our true enemies.
There is definitely some kind of multi-move going on here. And yes, the guarantor has nothing to do with it

[Leshak]

Strange reasoning - Russia is weakened in all respects, and we don’t have a damn thing, but we are strong. Oh, these twists and turns of the brain in gay European ...

[Mavrikiy]

However, we lack ammunition, fuel, personnel and air defenses, and our ability to defend against cyber attacks is limited.

So how can they help the poor? "And now we've already won..." Occupy the Nazis in Ukraine, where I'm sure your Breivik will find help.

[faterdom]

If Russia is weakened - then let them remember the fur-bearing animal, they will have to turn all of Norway into one long fjord connected to the Baltic Sea with the Finnish Lapperanta under the keel.

[Konnick]

The joke reminded of the weakened

A man complains to a friend about his wife - he's tired, doesn't cook, doesn't clean, walks around in a dirty bathrobe, the house is not cleaned, the shirts are not ironed, he would have killed the bastard! Are they just planted? A friend replies - And you "love" her to death! Fall in love in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, and so for two weeks, in two weeks it will die. A week later, a friend walks and sees a shadow barely walking and holding on to the fence. A friend recognized a man whom he advised to fall in love with. Asks - Well, how?
The man answers - He rejoices at the dwra - he does not know that he will die in a week!

[nik-mazur]

we lack ammunition, fuel, personnel and air defenses, and our ability to defend against cyber attacks is limited

This is despite the fact that Norway is not at war, there are no 15000 sanctions against it, and revenues from the sale of oil and gas are going through the roof. And who is weakened after that?

[gmss]

I remember a couple of years ago these Lapps complained about the invasion of Russian salmon. Have they already dealt with this insidious intrusion? or the same song with a lack of fishermen, hooks, fishing line, etc. ?

[nordscout]

What "investment", Mr. Christoffersen? It’s better to surrender lightly into captivity .... And investments should, already now, be made in the church, so that the killed Vikings in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and future Norwegian losses in the alleged conflicts between Norway and Russia during the denazification of Scandinavia ....

[Dost]

As in a joke: Rabinovich, how are you? And your? So here Russia has weakened, and we have weakened, but we want to fight.

[jovanni]

Russia is strategically weakened in both the short and long term.

Yes, everything seems to be in order with the Strategic Missile Forces. Where did pepper see a strategic weakness?...

[uncle Vlad]

It’s just that they have dough in the National Fund through the roof, so the warriors decided for free, under Russia, to squeeze out a bunch of money. What is there, a couple of lards. True, the army is only 30 thousand.
