Apparently the initial donation will be from Norway's own stocks. They will follow with an additional 8 launchers and 4 Fire Distribution Centers to be purchased. These are linked into the IADS to provide a common air defense picture. It sounds like in total, they will provide components for 4 additional NASAMS batteries.
"In addition to donations from its own holdings, the government will also acquire and donate a package of eight launch units and four Fire Distribution Centers to NASAMS. This is the same amount as Norway's total donation from NASAMS so far."
The US has already contracted and funded a total of 8 NASAMS batteries, and has delivered 2 or 3, so more on the way from the USA also. Delivery was supposed to be by late 2024.
The US really needs to be buying these for OUR military. Also, a more mobile version built for the latest AIM-9X or Iris-T. Current systems, including the new Stryker based M-SHORAD, are wholly inadequate. We have a huge hole between Stinger and Patriot.
