Norway buys 2 US-built Joint Strike Fighter jets
None
The defense ministry says Norway has ordered its first two Lockheed Martin fighter jets from the US - Oslo's first purchase following a 2008 decision to replace its aging fleet of F-16 combat aircraft.
Defense Minister Espen Barth Eide says the Joint Strike Fighter F-35A Lightning II jets are expected in 2015, and an additional 50 aircraft will follow two years later at a total cost of 60 billion kroner ($10 billion.) (AP)
