The US State Department has approved a possible $2.3-billion sale of 21 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters and related equipment to Norway.
The request also covers 46 T700-GE-701D engines, 25 AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems, 25 Common Infrared Countermeasure systems, and 25 AN/APR-39E(V)2 radar warning receivers
Among the requested weapons are 18 M240H machine guns, with provisions for M240, M134, and M3M machine guns.
Lockheed Martin’s Sikorsky division would be the principal contractor for the proposed deal, which would provide Norway's army and special operations forces with a new rotary-wing capability.
Washington said the deal would improve Oslo's ability to respond to current and future threats and enhance interoperability with US and other allied forces.
Norway’s US Defense Purchases
The proposed Black Hawk sale would add to Norway’s long-running procurement relationship with the US.
In August, the US approved a potential $270-million sale of M795 155mm high-explosive artillery projectiles to the Scandinavian country, including technical support, documentation, and logistics. The deal aims to strengthen Oslo's artillery and mid-range firepower.
Earlier, in September 2025, the US greenlighted a $162-million sale of up to 50 MK 54 lightweight torpedo systems. In July 2025, Washington also authorized the sale of HH-60W combat rescue helicopters and related equipment worth $2.6 billion.
