  What the article (and the PM) fails to mention is that Norway also already operates Leopard 2.
  They are just buying newer Leopard 2A7+s to replace their aging Leopard2A4NOs.
context: "Norway will order 54 new German-made Leopard 2 tanks for its army from the Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Group, and will get an option to buy a further 18 tanks at a later time, the government said on Friday.
  "We ensure that we have the same tanks as our Nordic neighbours and many key NATO allies," Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told a news conference.
  "This further strengthens our relationship with Germany," he added."
