Biden administration is reportedly maneuvering to send more advanced anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to help the former Soviet republic break a Russian naval blockade of its Black Sea ports. The missiles are the Harpoon, made by Boeing, and the Naval Strike Missile (NSM), made by Kongsberg and Raytheon Technologies, The Harpoon can destroy targets 300 kilometers away, it’s typically used as a ship-to-ship missile, and there are few platforms for launching it from shore The Harpoon cruises in a low, sea-skimming trajectory and has active radar guidance..Countries have avoided being the first nation or the only nation providing such weaponry to Kiev, “fearing Russian reprisals if a ship is sunk with a Harpoon from their stockpile.”
