Norway
approved to sale of 16 Penguin 2 Mod 7 anti-ship missiles of Kongsberg
Gruppen to the Turkish Navy's new S-70B28 Sea Hawk helicopters worth a
total $38 million
after 4 years. It is reported from Norwegian Foreign Ministry that this
decision not to means totally releasing the authority on sale of other
defense systems to Turkey without permission of the Norwegian
Government. 
Turkey wants to reopen its heavy lift helicopter competition. The
Turkish Government had planned to buy a number of Sikorsky CH-53E Super
Stallions, along with its batch of 50 Black Hawks, but has decided
instead to resurrect a competition it first opened, then closed in 1996.
The requirement then was for about eight heavy lifters for which the
CH-53E, the Chinook and Mil’s Mi-26 were candidates. The deal is
thought to be worth around US $300 million. 
A
Penguin Crisis has experienced between Turkey and Norway. At the end of
August, an agreement concerning of buying of 30 Penguen Missiles, each
1.1 million dollars, was signed. However, the Norweigian Parliament has
not approved the accord, under the pretext of Human Rights issues and
Turco-Greek relations. Regarding this situation, Navy Forces
Commandership asked for a decisive reply from the Norweigan manufacturer
and by the end of December. The missiles will be used in Sea Hawk sea
helicopters which will be bought from the U.S.
