Немного новостей по норвежскому танковому тендеру-бюджет теперь составляеть 2,3 млрд $ , с сервисом, запчастями и т.д. Для 84 таков как раньше планировалось много (по танковому эскадрону из 18 машин для 4 механизированных батальонов+резерв, учебные), может решили количество танков увеличить.
The cost limit has been revealed to be around 19.3 billion NOK or 2.3 billion USD. That’s almost double the sum that was mentioned a year ago. Now this might be a result of lifetime costs being included and/or because parts of the production line is expected to be moved to Norway, but with an increase like that, I can’t help but wonder if they aren’t also planning on acquiring more tanks than the often quoted “84” number, which would basically only allow for a single squadron of 18 tanks for each of the 4 (current and planned) mechanized battalions of Brigade Nord.
