Norway sells CV90 hulls to Estonia
Ex-Norwegian Army CV90 hulls will be sold to Estonia under an agreement announced by the Norwegian Ministry of Defence on 8 January.
The 35 hulls have become available because Norway is acquiring new CV90 armoured tracked combat vehicles and upgrading its fleet.
Estonia is expected to convert the hulls into logistics and support vehicles and use them alongside its existing CV90 fleet acquired from the Netherlands.
