## Armoured vehicles

| Name | Image | Origin | Type | Quantity | Notes |
| Main battle tank 36 in use (54 on order) ||||||
| Leopard 2A8NOR | | Germany | Main battle tank | 54 on order | In February 2023, the Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Stoere announced that Norway would be ordering 54 new Leopard 2A7 tanks from Krauss-Maffei Wegmann at a cost of kr 19.7 billion with a further option for 18 vehicles to be delivered at a later date. The first Leopard 2A7s are due to be delivered by 2026, and operational by 2031. The Norwegian government had been weighing up either the Leopard 2A7 or the South Korean K2 Black Panther as a replacement for its aging Leopard 2A4 fleet. Due to alterations in the design, it was deemed necessary to redesignate these vehicles to Leopard 2A8 NOR. |
| Leopard 2A4NO | | West Germany | Main battle tank | 52 in 2001; 36 (8 more in storage) in 2024; 8 will be donated to Ukraine. 6 chassis reused for AVLB LEGUAN | 52 Leopard 2A4NLs were acquired from the Netherlands in 2001. The tanks have been adapted to Norwegian requirements, which includes, among other things, the installation of new radios, weapon racks and a Battlefield Management System. Norway had been planning on upgrading 38 of the tanks to modern standards, but this option was considered inadequate in the Ground Power Review, and in the proposition that was published in October 2017, it's instead suggested that Norway should acquire brand new tanks after 2025. In October 2020 the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency sent out a Request For Information for the main battle tank market. Market analyses revealed the Leopard 2A7 and the K2 Black Panther as candidates for the procurement project. In January 2022 started winter trials of the candidates, undergoing extensive mobility and firing tests for evaluation with a contract to be signed by the end of the year and deliveries planned from 2025. |
