For those who do not know

NSM (Naval Strike Missile) is an anti-ship missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace to replace the Penguin missile. It can be used against ground targets. The contract for the production of the first missiles was signed in June 2007. The NSM is made of composite materials. It can perform anti-aircraft maneuvers and jam the target. This makes it difficult to intercept with an air defense system.
