The Norwegian military used similar equipment in Afghanistan.
Norway donated 14 IVECO LAV III armored patrol vehicles to Ukraine. This transport will allow the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to move more safely on the front line.
Relevant information appeared on the official website of the Norwegian government.
Norway continues to contribute to the struggle of Ukrainians for freedom. The government is constantly evaluating how Norway can provide further support to Ukraine in protecting the country from Russian invasion
Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram
IVECO LAV III has good mobility and protection. These machines are of the same type of equipment that was used by the Norwegian military in Afghanistan.
Recall that at the end of June, Norway announced the transfer to Ukraine of three M270 MLRS units capable of firing at a distance of 32 to 300 kilometers, depending on the ammunition. And in early July, the Scandinavian state promised to allocate €1 billion in financial assistance. Meanwhile, the Norwegians have joined the global flashmob and started raising funds for Bayraktar for Ukraine.
