Norway: Army money, conscription... and major military problems

Norway faces major challenges associated with Russia's expanding military activity in the north, even though Russia is weakened after a year of war. expanding threats in the region requires Norway to be more defensive and actively cooperating with NATO allies. The financial problems of the Norwegian Armed Forces are exacerbating difficulties, as although the country's long-term financial plan is balanced over a period of 20 years (2024-2042), crucial financial difficulties may arise before 2030, which may lead to delays in the implementation of key defence projects.
