In a major defense deal, the U.S. has cleared a $2.6 billion sale of HH-60W combat rescue helicopters to Norway, bolstering the Nordic country’s ability to respond to current and future security threats. The DSCA stated that the aircraft will enhance Norway’s operational readiness for both national defense and NATO missions.
The State Department has authorized the sale, and the DSCA has formally notified Congress, which must now review and approve the transaction. Norway is expected to integrate the systems seamlessly into its armed forces.
