– The Ukrainian forces are dependent on Western support in the form of military equipment and weapons. So that they can withstand the Russian attacks, says Minister of Defense Bj\u00f8rn Arild Gram. Norway confirms that it has provided artillery weapons with equipment and spare parts, as well as ammunition to Ukraine. The government decided in February that they would donate up to 2,000 M72 anti-tank weapons to the war in Ukraine. The M109 wagons are an extension of the arms support to the country. The development of the war in Ukraine indicates that it is now necessary to donate heavier materiel and weapons systems as well, according to Gram. – This is an important contribution. It is in high demand by Ukraine, he says. For reasons of security, the ministry has not commented on the contribution until now. PROMOTION: Minister of Defense Bj\u00f8rn Arild Gram confirms that Norway has given 20 M109 artillery shells to Ukraine and that they have now arrived in the country.

He thanked for what was to be a delivery of the artillery type M109 from Norway. The Chief of Defense further wrote that the weapons from Norway are already in use. – They’re already in the front line. They hit targets with high accuracy and destroy the enemy. UKRAINE PUBLISHED PICTURE: The picture published by Ukraine’s Minister of Defense will show the Norwegian wagons in action. Photo: Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense \/ Facebook Old model Already in May, the US Secretary of Defense thanked Norway for deciding to support Ukraine with artillery fire. Only now does the Norwegian Ministry of Defense confirm that they have sent such weapons. – The Armed Forces has just replaced M109 artillery with new ones from South Korea, says the Ministry of Norway still has M109 in stock. About 20 of these have been donated to Ukraine. Norway has also contributed to Ukrainian forces having the competence to operate the weapons. This training has taken place in Germany. The Norwegian M109 wagons have pipes with a caliber of 39. They can hit targets 30 kilometers away. Russia claims carriage has been knocked out At a press conference on Tuesday night, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that an M109 carriage, of the type A3, had been knocked out by Russian fire. This will be one of the wagons delivered by Norway. The press conference is reproduced on the ministry’s website. – We can not say anything concrete about it. We must reckon, on a general basis, that material that is sent into combat situations can also be hit by the other party, of course, Gram told news on Tuesday night. The video images of the clash are also top posts on the websites of the Russian army’s TV channel, Zvezda. MORE IN STOCK: The M109 wagons have cannons that fire grenades with a diameter of 155 millimeters. Norway has several of these in stock after they were replaced by a more modern variant in 2020.
