  "account": "Kementerian Pertahanan Malaysia Khaled Nordin revealed that some of the Turkish-made Atmaca anti-ship missile packages for the Royal Malaysian Navy's Long-Range Strike Missile (LMS) ships will be used for the Sea-Based Strike (LCS) combat ships, replacing the previously Norwegian anti-ship missile system (NSM). The ministry allocated the Turkish Atmaca missiles to the LMS before, enabling some of the previous expenditure to be utilized for the LCS instead of the NSM system. Nordin stated that he had already allocated Atmaca missiles for the LMS, so only the transfer of those missiles to the LCS is required. The additional cost, he said, involved system integration and a launcher. When Norway returns the money to Malaysia, it will be used to pay for new missiles. The minister added that further discussions with Turkey will be held to finalize the acquisition, including ensuring compatibility and integration of the missile system with LCS. Malaysia expects to receive the Atmaca missiles for the LCS by 2028, and the system's compatibility with LCS will allow the ministry to utilize the pre-existing stockpile. Earlier reports said Malaysia chose Turkey as an alternative supplier to replace the NSM system after evaluating bids from several countries, including France and Italy, based on price, delivery time, and upfront cost. On May 19, the Ministry of Defense submitted a claim of approximately RM1 billion to the Norwegian defense manufacturer Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace following the cancellation of the NSM export permit. The amount included the direct claim of €129.86 million already paid by the government. Commenting on Malaysia's confidence in recovering payments from Norway, Khaled said the matter might require legal action, including a weighing exercise or court proceedings.",
