Swedish defence industry lost out when Norway chose new jet fighters. Now the Swedes want to offer new submarines to replace Norway's old subs which will have to be renewed in about ten years.
Sweden is one of few countries which still build submarines of the type which would fit the needs of the Norwegian Navy. In a few years the Norwegian Parliament (Storting) will have to decide whether or not to invest in new submarines at a cost of NOK 3-4 billion each. - International cooperation is absolutely of interest, says rear-admiral Arne Røksund of the Norwegian Defence Department.
