The US Department of State announced that it has approved the provision of '155 mm High Explosive M795' artillery shells along with technical and logistical support at the request of the Norwegian government. The estimated total cost of the approved sales package is reported to be 270 million dollars. The statement noted that the sale will support the US's foreign policy and national security objectives by enhancing the security of a NATO ally, which is a significant force for political stability and economic progress in Europe. This step is said to strengthen Norway's ability to counter current and future threats by improving its artillery and medium-range firepower capacity, while also increasing interoperability with US and other allied forces.
