On Monday afternoon [22 April], it became clear that two further
matters connected with the Israeli defense industry were awaiting a
decision in the Defense Ministry. Both apply to equipment for
military vehicles and involve Israeli technology, Navy Captain Per
Hoiby of Defense Command Headquarters told Aftenposten. One matter
concerns equipment for the NM220 command vehicle. The Defense
Logistics Organization (FLO) wants to buy production rights for an
equipment package from an Israeli firm. The other involves armor
for the M113 transport vehicle, including mine protection seats.
The participants in this project are Kvaerner and the state-owned
Israeli defense producer Rafael. These prospective agreements are
now at risk after Defense Minister Kristin Krohn Devold
(Conservative) decided yesterday that she "did not want to buy
defense materiel from Israel." The background for this announcement
was a report in Dagbladet that Norway had recently bought
ammunition from Israel, skriver Oslo Aftenposten.
