Norway Receives NASAMS IV Battery Firing AMRAAM and Sidewinder Missiles After Ukraine Donations

Norway’s Defence Materiel Agency handed over a new NASAMS IV air-defense battery to the Royal Norwegian Air Force at Ørland Air Station, announcing the delivery on November 3. The battery uses updated fire distribution centers and multi-missile launchers that can employ AMRAAM, AMRAAM-ER and AIM-9X Sidewinder interceptors. It is part of a four-battery acquisition with a combined cost framework of nearly NOK 7 billion in 2026 prices. Two batteries replace equipment donated to Ukraine, while the other two are funded from Norway’s military investment budget to expand its ground-based air-defense capacity.
