Norge og andre europeiske land har de siste årene opplevd økt behov for høy luftmilitær beredskap som følge av endrede sikkerhetspolitiske forhold, særlig etter krigen i Ukraina. Erfaringene fra både norske og allierte styrker viser at et moderne luftvern kan opprettholde høy beredskap over lang tid, samtidig som det gir et kosteffektivt vern mot lufttrusler sammenlignet med andre forsvarsgrener Continue reading Luftvern: Høy beredskap over lang tid – kosteffektivt luftforsvar
Norge står overfor det mest alvorlige trusselbildet siden den kalde krigen. Russisk luftaktivitet har økt dramatisk, hybride angrep rammer norsk infrastruktur daglig, og nye teknologier som droner og hypersoniske missiler endrer krigføringen fundamentalt. Samtidig gjennomfører Norge den største satsingen på luftvern siden 1960-tallet – over 40 milliarder kroner skal investeres frem til 2036. Men hvorfor trenger et lite NATO-land som Norge egen luftvernskapasitet? Continue reading Norsk luftvern: hvorfor trenger vi det?
