Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Defence giant BAE Systems has won a £500 million contract to build and upgrade armoured vehicles for the Norwegian army.
The project will deliver a number of vehicles, including 74 infantry models, 15 for command and 16 engineering.
Petter Jansen, managing director at the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation, said: "This is one of the largest army investments and an important part of the Norwegian army modernisation plan."
Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, of BAE Systems, said: "Today's order illustrates the trust there is in Norway for the CV90 family of vehicles.
"We continue to invest in the CV90 system and develop the vehicle to keep it at the forefront of technology and, in particular, to incorporate improvements in protection and digitisation so that it remains the world's most advanced vehicle of its kind."
