POTD: Norwegian CV90 Light Infantry Vehicles and Snipers
The “Cold War” photo below is pretty cool, where we have a Hind Attack Helicopter flying over Norwegian CV90 light infantry vehicles in Poland.

The Barrett MRADs were ordered by the Norwegian Armed Forces in 2013.

Norway has over 170 CV90s, and just ordered another 12 combat engineering vehicles and 8 multi-role vehicles.
