But no opposition is expected, given Norway&#8217;s increasing role as a partner for the United States and United Kingdom in monitoring Russian activity in the north Atlantic. <br\/><br\/> In addition to the planes, the planned buy <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dsca.mil\/major-arms-sales\/norway-p-8a-aircraft-and-associated-support\" target=\"_blank\">covers a large collection of equipment<\/a>, including radios, radar, missile warning sensors and 2,000 AN\/SSQ-125 Multi-Static Active Coherent Source Sonobouys, launched from the plane to help track submarines.<br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=68b62ad0-a963-4748-90ba-fae0c3e4bfba\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ine Eriksen Soreide, Norway\u2019s defense minister, discusses\r\nRussia\u2019s actions in the high north and plans to modernize Norway\u2019s military.<br \/><br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norway has operated a fleet of P-3 aircraft, Boeing\u2019s predecessor to the P-8, since the 1960s, and it was vital for Norway to modernize that capability, said Norwegian defense minister Ine Eriksen S\u00f8reide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;For a country like Norway, with maritime areas that are almost 80 percent of the Mediterranean, they are almost seven times as big as our land territory, it is unthinkable or us not have good situational awareness in our own areas,&#8221; S\u00f8reide told Defense News in a Dec. 2 interview at the Reagan National Defense Forum. &#8220;We see that Russia is also developing new capabilities, especially sub-surface capabilities, that we need to keep track on. And for us, it is just a very good way to continue to develop a very important capability for Norway that gives us the situational awareness we depend on.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added that there is great potential for Norway to work with the United Kingdom, which is also procuring P-8s, both in operational terms and in procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We just signed an agreement with the UK\u2026on doing a lot of cooperation on both the F-35 and the P-8s,&#8221; S\u00f8reide \u00a0said. &#8220;For the first time in over 60 years we will be flying the same fighter aircraft, the F-35, and we have also huge opportunities for cooperating on training and exercises, spare parts, maintenance and actually everything that entails having these new modern capabilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For US industry, the P-8 represents yet another major contract that could be cleared by Congress before the end of the Obama administration. The Norway announcement is the seventh such notification since Oct 1. of a potential sale to Congress that would exceed the $1 billion mark, keeping US weapon exports on a record pace for fiscal year 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\"
