Misil Turki akan ganti NSM Norway, kata Khaled
Menteri pertahanan berkata perolehan peluru berpandu dijangka dapat dibekal seawal 2028.
Malaysian Defense Minister Khaled Nordin revealed that Turkish missiles are the preferred choice to replace Norway's surface-to-air missiles (NSM) in the country's littoral mission system (LMS). Khaled stated that the ministry will initiate further discussions with Turkish authorities before finalizing the acquisition process, which is expected to be delivered by 2028.
"We have decided that Turkish missiles are the best option for us to replace Norway's NSM anti-ship missiles," he said, according to Kosmo at the Defense Ministry in Kuala Lumpur. Khaled added that the compatibility of the missiles with the naval command and control system (CMS) has been taken into consideration, and his office has received assurances regarding the compatibility and system integration aspects.
Furthermore, Khaled mentioned that the ministry will continue resolving the dispute with Norway due to the failed calibration of the previously purchased NSM missiles. He also explained that his office is in the process of establishing a dispute resolution panel after negotiations for a mutually agreeable solution were unsuccessful.
"If this process fails, Malaysia will continue its actions through the established escalation procedures as outlined in the relevant contract."
