i understand that you think norway don't need them, but if you remember WW2 they were brutally attacked by germans! the only reason we couldn't protect the country was because the government didn't use enough money on the armed forces!
it is a well known quote in norway: never ever 9. april 1940! (the day norway was attacked by germany)
beside norway is a nato allie, and i agree they don't need such toys! sweden offered saab jas grippen to them, even a contract between them where norway could be a co-partner on it! but no, the stupid government has to buy some toys just like saudis. idiotic but still nice to see!

i hope you know that norway is a very rich country, if not the richest in the world! thanks to their oil.
The Norwegians believe that they could repel Germany or England?
The incident with the tanker «Altmark» demonstrated the real balance of forces (the one that was the last argument in the occupation of Norway). Germany and Britain have held sway in the territorial waters of Norway at home. Germany was the quicker of England.
F-35 is overkill for Norway. However, they have enough money for expensive toys, so Norway and buy F-35 (for the sake of the prestige of the fifth generation).
