Yes indeed!!

ya'll norwegians are bosses at making weapons...eternally greatful to have you guys as allies from an american.

NASAMS uses Raytheon’s MPQ-64 radar as it’s sensor and AIM-120 AMRAAM as it’s effector. So I don’t think you could give too much credit to Kongsberg for the development of this system.

@@akifabc4666 The NASAMS launcher was developed in Norway. The system is a joint project between Raytheon and Kongsberg Gruppen. We developed the weapon, and Raytheon developed the payload and radar. So if we want to include the NASAMS to our history of weapons development, we are well withing our right to do so.

@@Sunnfjordingen The weapon is AIM-120 AMRAAM, an off the shelf product of Raytheon. All the subsystems are off the shelf products except the launcher.

And SAMs

Lol

The defense is a whole system, no enough fighter jets, anti ship batteries will be easy targets of bomber

rc mobile mines... let them land and die.

lots of telescopic cameras on their beaches would be good.. and rc mobile mines, they go like 50- 60kms an hour. Maybe pack every car they have in Taiwan with explosive and hack the computer sat nav :D imagine cars just driving into troops.. and the occasional one blowing up.. LOL

The air version range is 300 kms and the land version is 185 kms so its depends.. just like agm jass er 158 missile 500 kms sea version and 1000 kms air version... Tomahawk missiles have 2500 kms range, 1500 kms range, 900 kms range so it depends on the version... agm 183 mach 20 has 1000 miles range air drop and dark Eagle has 2850 kms range and 1750 kms range land version. So it depends...

Nope it isn't and not very accurate.

@@kurtism123 how do know?

I certainly hope so?

It's part of nato. If you pay attention key pieces of hardware are funded, developed ,and shared through out nato allied countries . Stop looking at individual countries and start realizing a global coalition of nations under natos banner of globalism

@@keithanderson5079 Of course they are, what kind of alliance wouldn't do such a thing? Wouldn't be much point in an alliance if it wasn't used effectively. The NSM is for an example developed together with Raytheon technologies for integration with US and NATO standards. Nasam is another curious example, it's developed in Norway, but there are more active systems abroad than domestic. The US and Poland for example have more active installations than Norway. Norway had a strong and solid ammo industry and boat building/Maritime technology when NATO was founded. Of course it would further develop within this sphere when it suits well into the overall strategy. It's just plain good military and business sense. It's been a clear strategy for decades, good on you to see it 👍

@@keithanderson5079 NATO is completely founded on US industrial military capabilities.

We will continue to use the NSM, but we also have the LRASM for longer distances.

@@StigAndreassen1980 Raytheon is a downright incredibly missle creator as well. It's no wonder that the two companies combined for this dream of a weapons platform. Norwegian Ingenuinity and American Tenacity.

At which point you slowly and carefully lay down your coffee, then activate your beer. 🥱☕😳🍺🙄👈

@@seanbrazell6147 Ha!

@@seanbrazell6147 that was hilarious

I was an OS and occasionally because of the amount of dust in the Persian Gulf our SPA 10 surface radars would paint a close in fast moving contact, constant bearing decreasing range. Back in the day it was a form of radar feed back. Even though it was a known artifact, you'd have to consciously relax your grip on your coffee cup as it approached.

@@dennischavez7503 Then the ever present wrap around. As your talking SPY and Persian Gulf you must have been on a CG, which one?

nonsense. modern air defense systems have no trouble with defending air threats. that's why swarm or even saturation attacks are the only real anti-ship tactic today. other than that we only have the off chance that the enemy is sleeping at the wheel and doesn't have all his defense system switched on. that's the reality of today. "leaves the enemy no choice but to soak a missile or two" bitch please modern air defense systems have no trouble tracking and defeating hundreds of targets and dozens in the final approach phase at the same time. you would need at least 100 anti ship missiles to defeat a modern anti air frigate like the german Sachsen class

the numbers seems to be the problem thos at best you can put 8-12 on a destroyer a missle fight is about numbers

@@swunt10 seriously what are you smoking? The US Navy has without question the best ship based missile defense systems in the world, and they could MAYBE intercept AT MOST a dozen incoming missiles. And those are the Brahmos missiles (30 feet long, over 2 feet in diameter, the Brahmos missile is absolutely ENORMOUS and easily detected from ranges exceeding 150 miles). The NSM on the other hand is 13 feet long, less than 1 foot in diameter, and extremely stealthy. Substandard Chinese radars will have a lot of trouble detecting an NSM in sea skimming mode outside of 8 nautical miles. Can you name ONE air defense system that has EVER prevented air strikes from taking place? No, you can’t. The old adage “the bomber will always get through” still rings true to this day. There has never been an air defense system created anywhere in the world that has successfully prevented air strikes from taking place, all they have done is complicate the process. Now with stealth technology proliferating to most NATO member air forces, China and Russia don’t stand a chance. Just take a look at how well the Russian Air Force has performed in Ukraine. It’s been 5 days and they still have not established air superiority. And that is going up against a country that has ZERO stealth aircraft, and fewer than 100 combat aircraft in their ENTIRE Air Force. Russia has PROVEN to the world over the last week that their military is not anywhere close to being a competent, professional force, and China is even farther behind than Russia. Doctrine and tactics have a HELL of a lot more influence on whether or not a military is successful in combat than technology alone, and the U.S. Navy employs doctrine and tactics that are literally half a century more advanced than China. I don’t know where you got the idea that ANY warship in the world is able to intercept 100 incoming missiles, but it is blatantly obvious you are dreaming, assuming, and hoping, but have absolutely ZERO real world experience in Naval Warfare.

@@swunt10 I mean you DO realize that the German Saschen class frigate only carry’s a grand total of 24 SM-2 (for anti-air AND missile defense) and 32 ESSM missiles, right? And you DO know that if an incoming missile gets close enough to a ship for the ESSM, standard procedure is to launch TWO ESSM’s for every incoming missile? The Saschen class frigate can’t shoot down ANYWHERE NEAR 100 incoming missiles, because it simply can’t carry enough interceptors! Where on EARTH did you get the idea that a warship, ANY warship, has the ability to intercept 100 incoming anti ship missiles? I’m serious that is actually laughable….the US Arleigh Burke class destroyers can carry 16 SM-2’s, 16 SM-3’s, 16 SM-6’s, 64 ESSM’s, and still has the phalanx CIWS or a SeaRAM launcher carrying 21 rolling airframe missiles, and an Arleigh Burke destroyer couldn’t get ANYWHERE CLOSE to intercepting 100 missiles incoming simultaneously. The Arleigh Burke destroyers would be LUCKY to intercept 12-14 incoming missiles simultaneously, which is why each carrier strike group usually has 4 destroyers, PLUS two cruisers (that have even more interceptors than the destroyers!) escorting it.

@@stuffhappensdownsouth9899 , The norwegian Skjold-class has 8 NSM-missiles, that is a small 60+ knots vessel, so on a destroyer with plenty of space you could literary have dozens of NSM-missiles.

That was a Naval UH-60

Pretty good reaction and reaction time considering it has never experienced something like this before.

There were several that were vaporized closer to the blast....

No, didn't see it. Timestamp?

I saw a brown trail following that bird.

@Drew Peacock it's not all about land warfare

How that Bird never had a heart attack is one of the great mysteries.

Fun channel for missile woosh sounds but not reliable in the slightest!

Of course it depends where the missile is gong to hit but likely it will take two hits to kill a frigate.

​@@IMAN7THRYLOSWe have a target database with schematics, weak points, number of bulk heads etc of possible targets. The missile can either be pre-programmed with a depth of detonation (delayed fuse), specific area of vessel to hit etc, or it can decide on its own as the missile itself can differantiate the target and identify optimal striking points.

@@matiashogden1240 Just hit the engineering room. Without engines, the ship is a sinking armoured pot.

@@IMAN7THRYLOS Well, not necessarily sinking, but yes. Alternatively you could hit the main gun magazine and turn said vessel into two smaller submarines depending on how poorly your target is designed ;)

The NSM just need to know the profile of the ship and where to hit it. Then launch it in the general direction

Exactly. An F-35 flying in stealth mode will be able to find and target enemy ships, relaying that information back to the nearest LCS, Frigate, or Destroyer, which will launch the NSM. Utilizing it’s shaped titanium warhead, the NSM will drive itself DEEP inside the target warship before detonating. If struck in the right spot, just one NSM is all it would take to sink even the largest destroyers (Chinese type 055). And the ship won’t see it coming until it’s too late. With its small size and stealthy shape, in sea skimming mode the NSM would get within about 8 nautical miles before being detected, giving the target warship less than 45 seconds to detect, track, and launch countermeasures. The NSM is without question a force to be reckoned with.

Ikr want to go deep sea fishing again Might need a boat like this

Australia already got it ;))

The US is selling 400 harpoon to Taiwan mounted on 100 trucks to supplement Taiwan's supply of their homemade supersonic anti ship missiles. An article I read said Taiwan has 800 though they probably have more

Britain needs it too

Australia does not have it yet however, we are funding development of an extended range air launched version (JSM). We operate both LRASM & JASSM.

@Alieff Farwell Not anymore, you are oberwhelmed with hypersonic missiles. Russia and China won the race at finish line.

@@pilongaracing8902 They need hypersonic weapons or else in the case of a world war they would suffer much much greater casualty than the West. Keep in mind the US already had hypersonic flight vehicles a long time ago before anybody else was, won’t be very long until our nuclear arsenal is updated. And even with what it is now, there’s enough power to unfortunately end the world. And Russia’s top notch missile defense sadly isn’t even that affective vs US tomahawk missles (50 year old machinery). Learned this from Syria. This is why you see Russia funding missiles and weapons way more than they actually do for their military in general. Most of their military for the most part is insanely out dated and the power comes mainly from shear numbers of weapons and personnel.

@@pilongaracing8902 Overwhelmed? Nah. It's mutually assured destruction at this point. The U.S. will make it rain, regardless. We have other advantages that China and Russia don't. We will be updated in no time. That's what the US does. It will be bad for everyone if there's a war at this point. US is just fine

@@jdawg3629 If you are from US, i hope you are right but economy and bigdata tell us different.

No, what is the timestamp? Hope it is not the clip where you see a ship being destroyed by a torpedo.....

The JSM variant is under development for subs.

Kongsberg is testing a supersonic version that will be coming soon NSSM, it will be Raufoss who produces it. 😉

Northern Europeans, easily the most brilliant of us white folks.

My only concern is, how tight is Norway with their manufacturing security? Are they using any Chinese made parts?

And still among one of the most peaceful countries. I guess this is how they vent out any built in agression

Sweden and Israel are the best too in weapons technology

Which function was he working on?

$ 2.2 million per NSM.....

I'm not a big fan of our military industrial complex, but this is one missle we really need.# Discourage China by putting all of their shiny new ships at risk from all U.S. platforms at medium ranges.⚓

More like a few hundred. mix in existing harpoons and mount them all on vehicles in mixed formations with mobile anti-air and I think China would think twice when the time to launch an invasion comes

Deploy?! See I think that's the actual problem with us, we say deploy alot. how about we call it for what it really is. Let's sale this toys to Taiwan and others in the are to keep others in check.

China has 10x more better missiles

China will get those state of art missiles just like the Taliban getting the abandoned weapons

Chances are, Taiwan is laced with these anti ship missle systems already. America loves to test its new weapon systems where they are relevant, which is on the playing field. If they indeed don't possess any of these systems, you can bet that our fleet off shore has a their systems armed and are just waiting to press the buttons. Everyone thinks they have a big naval fleet. Till they come up against the most experienced and tried and true naval fleet the world will ever know. Then they lose 500 ships in mere hours and their ship building sites are obliterated within the same day. Back to □ 1

I'm supposed to bomb you, not you bomb me!

neutrons would also penetrate the thick metal armor and kill anyone in the ship it can also kill the people in tanks fast moving neutrons fly thru metal

Poland has already integrated NSM in their land based coastal defence. Romania is about to do the same.

No, it is 100& Norwegian design from Kongsberg! Australia is allowed by license to partialliy produse them.

@@kraagaard Imagine if he speaks about the freight containers in which they are transported to the customer. If English is not your first or second language - increase your reluctance to speak up. Just a friendly piece of advice to prevent you from looking dumb.

@Kristian L. Aagaard He never said they are made in Australia. He just means that Australia should buy them😂

@@kraagaard Oh, I know they are Kongsberg. Excellent technology from Norway. Australia would be a perfect customer. Need meets solution.

Hopefully the UK get them for their F35s too . I think they’ve bought some ( not enough) for their Type 45s and some Type 23s

Unless it gets stuck in sand.

NSM originally stands for "Norsk sjømålsmissil"

That's half the fun of New weapons systems.

Of course they do. In an industry absolutely full of acronyms, many of them hard to remember, it is easier to remember. NSM is one of the easier ones to remember admittedly but I suppose NEMESIS makes it easier to differentiate the USMC land based variant.

Bro godamn

Aint no one said they smart cause they can put stolen puzzle pieces together lol

@@walk_spin_glide I know a bit about china, their sociology, the things chinese think and believe in. What I do not get is the mindset that led to that "throw in everything" cammo or "copy all things in one" it's like the same mindset that put not 1 but 4 microphones on top of official limos. Who else in the world does that? It's like compensating for having the smallest everything in the world.

I didnt know it could hit land targets too.

because these first models are plug and play. retro fit on anything. deck space really doesnt matter in combat but there is still enough room to move and perform mx on them.

The newer version of this missile (called JSM) is being developed for the F35's internal bay and happens to be compatible with the mark41 VLS.

It is impressive but the Chinese have the YJ-18 that travels subsonically then accelerates to Mach 3 when it is really close to the enemy ship and crash into it with a 300kg warhead. This NSM has a 125 kg warhead and goes below Mach 1 the whole path.

@@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_ That Chinese missile is therefore more detectable. NSM does not emit so ESM is worthless against it.

@@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_Doesn’t matter how fast a missile is when the counterpart cannot be detected and can dodge anti-missile defences. The faster one can be detected early and be intecepted alot easier

It soon scarpered!

It would be nice but that would be exceedingly hard to get all three in a small package

What happends when a object goes supersonic? yeah it creates a shockwave. hard to be stealthy when you create a sonic boom.

@@The-Vega-Islands That usually happens when you reach the speed, after you reached the speed and go above said speed, you don't have a sonic boom anymore.

@@denisweir1048 Actually the shockwave formed when an object exceeds the speed of sound, is a continues effect. You can only hear the Double Boom at a certain range and angle (due to what we call the doppler effect) but can still be tracked electronically.

@@The-Vega-Islands Ah, ok. Thanks for the info.

A helicopter can increase the range of the missiles. That means it could be a system with operational range of 2000 km. Combine that with Recon and it could be a very versatile system.

Take out the satellite end of and China and Russia can easily

@@michaelmccann5724 satellite aren't defenseless

@@imamanofculturepleasegivem5440 they are if a big rocket is heading it's way at hyper Sonic's speed 😁
