The United Kingdom has proposed Norwegian missiles for the missile boats it plans to build for Ukraine.
The missile boat project proposed that the anti-ship missiles to be integrated into the platform should be Norwegian naval strike missile (NSM) instead of Neptune developed by Ukraine.
Officials said they are targeting the delivery of the first platform to Ukraine a year after the signing of the contract.
Ukraine's RK-360MTS Neptune anti-ship missile, developed by local facilities, currently does not have a variable stationed on naval platforms.
