The US Department of Defense borrowed an undisclosed number of NASAMS systems (surface-to-air AMRAAM) from Norway to protect the Capitol area during President George W Bush’s re-inauguration in January 2005. Some may still be in US service.

That’s quite a lethal system, I’d imagine–it makes me nervous to think that the US military might be operating these things in civilian areas, given their record. :rolleyes: I guess the US version of these systems (CLAWS/HUMRAAM–also developed in conjunction with Kongsberg of Norway) still hasn’t been deployed.
