ugly news for Moscow´s expansionists plans, Barents and Norwegian seas are closed for the oriental barbarians, "The Norwegian and German navies are getting the most modern submarines in the world"
Norway has the fourth longest coastline in the world, and an economy mostly based on what the Norwegian coast provides of wealth. Norway used to 15 submarines. Let's hope the 212CD would carry the NSM missile and SAMs. The Norwegian admiral wants eight of the submarines but the politicians gave four 212CD, it was criticized by the opposition for being too few subs to operate and to replace the six older subs, now there have been elections and a new government has promised to increase to six 212CD, they will also operate in deep water around the Barents Sea.
