Continuing its support to Ukraine as part of global efforts, the Norwegian Ministry of Defence has announced the donation of 14 IVECO light multirole vehicles (LMVs).     

The move follows a request by Ukrainian authorities for the armoured vehicles.  

The purpose-built military vehicle offers high mobility and uses modular armour packs to provide protection.

With good off-road performance, IVECO LMVs can reach 130km/h. 

Norwegian Defence Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said: “Norway will continue to contribute to Ukraine’s fight for freedom.

“The Norwegian Government is continuously assessing how Norway can further support Ukraine in its defence against Russia’s invasion.”

So far, Norway has shipped military equipment including field artillery, air defence systems, and anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.
