The NSM anti-ship missile is designed and manufactured by the Norwegian Kongsberg Group. Its length is 3.96 m, its mass is 407 kg, the mass of the high-explosive warhead is 125 kg. The range of the target is about 200 km, the flight speed is 0.7-0.9 M.

On the part of the CAMTO, we recall that in November 2018, the 14th meeting of the Indonesian-Russian interstate commission on military-technical cooperation was held in Moscow. At the end of the meeting, the Indonesian delegation, which included representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the National Defense Industry, demonstrated the mobile coastal missile system K-300 "Bastion-P" in a static display.
Later, in December 2020, the Ukrainian state enterprise "Progress Specialized Foreign Trade Firm" announced the signing of a memorandum with Indonesia on the conclusion of a contract for the supply of the RK-360MC "Neptune" coastal mobile missile system manufactured by the Kiev GP "GKB "Luch". Further implementation of this project has not been confirmed.
