Norwegian Leopards

[Redmoose]

Does anyone know when the following were actually put into units?
NM-217 (Armored Recovery Vehicle)
NM-190 (Vehicle Bridge Launcher)
NM-189 (Armored Engineering Vehicle)

I could not find much on them but heres what I have
of the 217, 13 were built
of the 190, 9 were built
of the 189, 22 were built
Unfortunately I just haven't found the years they were bought or the years they were put into active duty in Norway. Any help would be apperciated!
Thanks.

According to Tank Encyclopedia (which is a lot harder to search lately) https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar/ ... pard-i.php

the Bridgelayer started deliveries in 1997

The rest is guessing

The AEV - not sure but suspect about the same time as Canada (late 90's), we got ours in 95-96 and they were about the same design
The ARV would have been a lot earlier - you need them to operate the MBTs so my suspicion is within a couple years of initial deliveries
