South Korean Defense Firm Wins Major Nordic Contract
Norway has selected Hanwha Aerospace’s Chunmoo multiple launch rocket system for its ground-based long-range precision fires system, marking a significant victory for South Korean defense exports. The 19 billion Norwegian kroner deal includes 16 launch systems and an unspecified number of missiles. The selection was made after an evaluation that determined the Chunmoo fully met all requirements for performance, delivery speed, cost, and full system integration. The systems will introduce a critical new long-strike capability amid rising security concerns from Russia in the High North and NATO’s northern flank.
