This was announced by the Norwegian Ministry of Defence.
The main task of the aircraft is to protect Polish airspace and defend the logistics hub in Rzeszów, which is used to deliver international military assistance to Ukraine.
«This is an extremely important contribution. We are helping to ensure that the aid reaches its destination and that Ukraine can continue its fight for freedom», said Norwegian Defence Minister Tore Sandvik.
As a reminder, the Norwegian government will provide NOK 6.5 billion (about €550 million) to Ukraine for the purchase of drones and technology from Ukrainian and European manufacturers.
