▪️The NSM stealth anti-aircraft missiles carry a 120 kg penetrating warhead with a range of 200-300 km (depending on the modification) at a speed of up to ~1100 km/h. During the approach phase, guidance is achieved using GPS + INS and comparing the terrain with a stored map (TERCOM), and in the terminal phase, a passive infrared guidance system with automatic target recognition is activated.

Plans for the delivery of these missile systems to Ukraine have been discussed since 2023, but until now, nothing official has been known about their transfer.

The RBS-15 conventional anti-aircraft missiles carry a 200 kg semi-tank fragmentation warhead with a range of 200-300 km (depending on the modification) at a speed of up to ~1100 km/h. During the approach phase, guidance is provided by GPS + INS, and in the terminal phase, an active radar guidance system is activated with the ability to target the source of interference.

There has also been no public announcement regarding the delivery of these missiles to Ukraine, and their first use was shown in a low-quality video published on April 6.

Thus, the Ukrainian Navy has added two fairly modern mobile anti-ship missile systems to its arsenal, capable of engaging naval and land targets at a range of 200-300 km. Together with the existing Harpoon and Neptune missiles, this significantly enhances the enemy's anti-ship and strike capabilities.
