How reliable is this source? But i think that russia would lose due to norways nato membership. I mean ukraine doesn’t have a strong army but russia has big problems against it.

These plans are a very common part of a country’s military planning. Russia has always had plans for a conflict with NATO and as such has planned for locations they want to take out with long range weaponry. This is not a plan to attack anytime soon, these are plans for a potential conflict.
The answer to your question is depending on whether there will be a war with russia. In the event a war commences, then yes, Russia will try to take out strategically important bases and facilities in norway, just as NATO has plans for taking out strategic bases in Russia if there is a potential war.

Significantly lower than the probability that the US is going to nuke Northern Norway pre-emptively.
Although our new f-35 “multipurpose”, also long-range, bomber-plane bases are probably going to skew that equation.

Standard military stuff.
Every country has plans on where they’d attack the other in case of war between the two.

probably not, all countries have these plans for potential targets, Norway probably have a bunch of targets in Russia

Ha! None. Especially now that (the very well-armed and well-trained) Sweden and (the extremely well-armed, well-prepared, and well-trained) Finland – where most of the pop has military training specifically to fight Russia – are also part of NATO and the Baltic is NATO’s lake. Also unlikely given that Russia has the second best military in Ukraine (and possibly in Russia at this point).
The US used to have plans for invasions of Canada and the UK…. I do wonder if there is a very old plan somewhere for dealing with a partial Russian occupation of Northern Norway.
I’m hoping that in a couple years, Norway’s well-trained and well-armed military grows larger. I know they’ve increased recruitment and Norway now has the largest per capita defence expenditure of any NATO nations, but it will take some time.
Hopefully the 2008 worry about only being able to defend a district of Oslo will be distant memory.
