I don't think today's press-conference will make the debate following tomorrow's presentation of the Defense Commission's report any less interesting.

By the end of the month, the Chief of Defence will also present his and the Armed Forces recommendations for 2024 - 27.

@The_Lookout_N:
Today's big press conference was the Norwegian Government committing to reaching 2% of GDP on defense by 2026, by their calculations a modest 11 Bn NOK increase.

If you as me, we're still way behind the curve considering the state of the world.

#Мелитополь (временно оккупированный), ул. Пирогова, 02/05/23: когда замнач ГУВД РФ по Запорожской обл. открыл ворота, направляясь на работу, сработало СВУ. В результате чувак получил сильные душевные страдания и МВТ. Пока живой на больничке https://xn--r1a.website/sledcom_press/6576

@HelcrossC Timingen var nok ikke tilfeldig, og de kan snike seg unna kritikk for å ikke ha en plan for 2% målet.

Annen kritikk blir det dog vanskelig å bortforklare.

@STRATMIL We'll see. With the Sergey Balk and Vice Admiral Paromov tracking towards Bornholm, going beyond the Skagerrak is a possibility.

@erlpa I dagens situasjon er jeg særdeles skeptisk til å kutte, eller effektivisere som det heter på fint, noe som helst av det vi har igjen.

Er kanskje noe å hente innen EBA og anskaffelser, men uten robust støttestruktur fungerer ikke "den spisse enden".

@Chicopeee Spain, Luxembourg, Romania, Belgium, Croatia, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Australia, Greece, Switzerland and Austria

That’s mostly all of them. The rest either sent only Humanitarian Aid like China and India, or the pledges were 0.00 Billion € (Kiel)

@oistein_tj Bakhmut has mostly been Wagner elements, supported by a couple of VDV divisions, so that's not where the majority of the mobiks ended up

Some likely have track of the uncommitted units but Western outlooks do vary. The trend in Norwegian statements is don't underestimate Russia
