Norway orders $2 billion artillery system from South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace
Norway will acquire 16 launchers and multiple missiles from Hanwha Aerospace to enhance defense against Russia, with missile production planned in Poland for European supply security.
- On Jan. 29, 2026, the Norwegian government signed a $2 billion contract with Hanwha Aerospace Co., a South Korean defense group, to buy long-range artillery systems, the Oslo government said.
- Norway said lessons from the war in Ukraine made long-range artillery essential, citing NATO deterrence needs amid rising European defence spending pressured by Russia's invasion.
- The contract covers 16 launch units and the K239 Chunmoo multiple rocket launcher system plus missiles, launch vehicles, training equipment and integrated logistics support, with delivery timeline: 2028-2029 for launch units/training, 2030-2031 for missiles.
- An official contract signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday in Oslo, and Oslo said Hanwha was the only supplier that met all requirements on performance, delivery schedule and cost.
- The deal includes an industrial cooperation offer equal to 120 percent of the contract value, missile production planned in Poland, and the German-Israeli EuroPULS system excluded for political reasons.
