The aim of the article is to present and explain one of the most complex problems in contemporary armament policy, i.e. ways to define technical and tactical requirements and acquiring modern armament systems. The example of Norwegian tender for multitask aircraft is not chosen by accident. It is the author’s strong conviction that the process of exchanging Norwegian Air Forces’ aircraft seems to be a model for European and non-European (Australia, Canada) countries in that area. As the Norwegian experience shows, various operational, political and economic factors decide about the final solution. Interestingly, military requirements, although essential in the course of competitors’ offers evaluation, are in practice confronted with economic or political conditions which, in many cases, appear more significant. Moreover, Norway’s efforts to find a plane to replace aging F-16s show how complicated and complex network is the modern system of the state defence. Furthermore, it seems to be significant that one of the prime criteria to select a multitask aircraft is the possibility of its limitless use in stabilization operations. Thus it appears that the purchase of a new armament system is a part of a multi-aspect strategy of the country in the area of defence, security policy and foreign policy. The victory of American proposition also shows why, in a particular case, the products of European armament industry lose a prestigious rivalry on the Old Continent’s armament markets. In addition, it is interesting to present the principles that Norway takes into consideration while purchasing new types of weapons and armament. Norwegian solutions could serve as an example for many countries, Poland including.
