00:00Do you think there is a development in the future?
00:02No, it's because one, the Norway government is left hand,
00:10although it is a punch.
00:13And although we say that as a result of the relationship between the two countries,
00:21and as a result of the relationship between the two countries,
00:25what is wrong if it is a result of what we have to pay?
00:28Yes, but it is a result of what we have to do.
00:31So, with the Norway government, we don't expect anything else.
00:34But with the company, they will be able to do it and so on.
00:40So, this is what we are facing.
00:42So, it's one of the things we have to do, we will continue to do it.
00:47So, how do we want to change the missile that we should let at the ship?
00:53So, it may be needed for the government to prepare,
00:57as well as we have to do it in order to buy the missile from Norway.
01:03If you want to wait for the money to go back,
01:05maybe I believe that it will be used to be able to do it in terms of all terms of
01:15contract and so on.
01:17So, the system SSM is not going to be able to do it?
01:19We don't have any NSM, it's only it.
01:21So, what is the solution for the system surface-to-surface missile?
01:28So, we are looking for, like I said, there are three countries, we are looking for.
01:32There are $700,000,000, there are $1 billion,000,000.
01:35So, we need to look.
01:37Because it is not just that we choose.
01:41As it is, one, how long is it going to be able to do it?
01:44Because missile is not like the car, in the showroom, it is going to be able to do it.
01:49It is, it must be able to do it for three or four years.
01:50So, it is not going to be able to do it with the system of combat management system in the
01:59ship.
02:00In the ship, combat management system comes from the franchise, from the naval group.
02:07So, in the case of missile that we want to buy, it is not going to be able to do
02:12it with the system.
02:12So, it is all taken care.
02:14And it is worth it.
02:20So, it is worth it.
