Malaysia seeks $251 million after Norway revokes permit, scuttling missile deal
Malaysia is seeking $251 million in compensation from Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace AS after Norway revoked an export permit for a missile defense deal. The cancellation has blocked the delivery of the Naval Strike Missile system, for which Malaysia had already made significant payments. The Malaysian government views this as a serious breach of trust that could impact international defense procurement relationships.
