The contract, valued at USD 141 million (approximately EUR 130 million), reflects the growing demand for advanced missile systems in modern warfare. Although the exact number of JSM missiles ordered has not been disclosed, the entire batch is expected to be delivered by the end of August 2026.
Developed by Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace, the Joint Strike Missile is a testament to cutting-edge defence technology. It builds on the success of the Naval Strike Missile (NSM), incorporating proven and modern technology to meet the rigorous demands of both sea and land operations.
The JSM is equipped with an advanced mission planning system designed to exploit the geographical advantages of sea and land environments. Its highly accurate navigation system and low altitude flight profile ensure precision in targeting, while an advanced imaging infrared seeker supports automatic target recognition, enhancing its effectiveness in diverse combat scenarios.
