Germany buys KONGSBERG’s Joint Strike Missiles

On 5 June 2025, KONGSBERG announced that Germany had selected the JSM for its F-35 fighter jets, while contract negotiations were ongoing. The contract between the parties has now been signed.

“We are pleased to welcome Germany as the fifth country to select the JSM. The acquisition confirms the missile’s position as the natural partner to the F-35, and further strengthens the already strong bonds between KONGSBERG and German industry on a range of projects, including missiles, submarines and weapon stations,” said Øyvind Kolset, Executive Vice President, missiles and space, at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.

The acquisition is structured as a government-to-government sale between Norway and Germany, with Norway’s Defence Material Agency (NDMA) acting as contract partner. Germany is the fifth country to select the JSM alongside existing customers Norway, Japan, Australia and the US.
