You need to have a general idea of where your target is when the missile is fired but the missile contains its own seeker head and can acquire and hit moving ships on its own.

The Indonesian military is spectacularly corrupt, ill-trained, and incompetent.

I’ve seen various articles on them fantasizing about a variety of advanced weaponry but I suspect it’s a pipe dream - they don’t have the infrastructure to master this stuff, and if they do buy it it’s money that would have better been spent on training.

Thanks.

Then it is not a "cruise missile" it is just a missile with nice range.
