I imagine operators will require considerable training. The simpler Harpoon would also be 'shipped' as well.
The US is currently considering sending two types of missiles: the Harpoon with a range of 300 kilometers and the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) with a range of 250 kilometers. They can either be delivered directly from the United States or taken from European partners.
