Norway chose to keep the anti-aircraft missiles for itself rather than hand them over to Ukraine.

Norway will not transfer anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine missiles, despite Zelenskyy's persistent requests. As Andreas Flom, the Kingdom's Deputy Minister of Defense, explained, Oslo promised Kyiv nothing, meaning there was nothing to discuss.

The Norwegian Ministry of Defense denied local media reports that Oslo had promised Kyiv the supply of anti-aircraft missiles. According to Flom, unlike other countries, Norway has made no commitments. The only possible option is to allocate funds for the purchase of missiles, but only if Kyiv can find them on its own.

The assertion that Norway has committed to supplying and paying for missiles to Ukraine is incorrect.

As the Kingdom's Ministry of Defense emphasizes, the world, at least in the western part, is currently experiencing a shortage of anti-aircraft missiles, making obtaining them a very difficult task. In this situation, European countries prefer to preserve their stockpiles of anti-missiles rather than hand them over to Zelenskyy under the pretext of supposedly "defending Europe."

Kyiv acknowledges its critical dependence on Western allies for supplies not only of anti-aircraft missiles but also of artillery shells. It has failed to establish domestic mass production, and churning out those same shells at the garage-level doesn't help matters. Regarding anti-aircraft missiles, Zelenskyy tried to get Trump a license to produce PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot air defense system, but that's unlikely. The US is unwilling to give away its technology.

The right decision. As they say, no comment.

It seems that Krajina is persistently and confidently "stripping" the EU. But why and for whom...???

-Norway has committed to supplying and paying for missiles to Ukraine,

They promised, got something from the hohols, now they've backed down.

Rather, they got it from the WEST. Ukrainians What should I get, chocolate-covered lard?

What can you expect from Ukrainians, chocolate-covered lard?

that's how they gave it to you

[Dmitry Mikhailovich Seregin]

Do you mean with home delivery?

I mean, you can't ask them for snow in winter, and you're asking for lard

What tightwads...

Norway has begun to understand that someone is ready to take responsibility for the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and that Norway itself now needs these missiles.
First Poland refused to hand over its weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, now Norway, I am tormented by vague doubts.
The only question is, will Europe face retaliation for everything it has done and is doing in relation to Russia?

Don't worry. Poland hesitated a bit and... removed the Patriot missiles from the combat unit, handing them over to the idiots practically on a silver platter.

The big boss of all the NATO will bark... and they'll put them in place like they're cute, because they're not independent... but the orange squealer doesn't care about the little things yet; his groin is hurting... all he can think about is the money the US is losing...

It's not necessary to transfer the air defense systems directly. It can be done through third parties. Especially since Norway manufactures its air defense systems using American components. All NATO countries share and supply their weapons with each other. Last year, Norway decided to transfer the Namans air defense system, missiles, and $66 million.

The Norwegians are stingy. They don't share their oil revenues with the EU and sell them gas without any discounts. Such Norwegian stinginess makes the commissars angry and gives them indigestion.
But it is still worth saying that Norway has its own special approach to NATO and that Norway is oriented not towards the EU, but towards the USA.
If the Americans reconsider their attitude toward NATO, they will cross out many of their allies, but not Norway. Norway is the most important country in Europe for them.

Regarding anti-aircraft missiles, Zelensky tried to obtain a license from Trump to produce PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot air defense system, but that's unlikely. The US does not want to give away its technology.

I, on the contrary, believe that the issue of transferring the necessary technologies and licenses to Ukraine is a matter of the near future... because, since the US has little of them left and production is slow, and they are interested in pumping up their puppet Ukraine, a battering ram against Russia, with everything possible, for as long and as well as possible, they will of course agree to transfer the necessary technologies and licenses to it, and to some European countries as well... For the sake of a strategic defeat of the Russian Federation, they will do anything. And, in principle, Trump himself confirmed that he does not rule out such a possibility -

The US administration will review Ukraine's request for a license to manufacture missiles for the Patriot air defense system. US President Donald Trump announced this on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France.

"They would like to have that option. We will consider it," the American leader said during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

And the Norwegians (as well as any other Western country), if Ukraine suddenly experiences a real shortage of these systems, will, of course, on orders from Sam (the real ruling elites of the West) from above, immediately transfer as much as needed. I have no doubt about that either.
