In the USA, they actively took up the organization of the defense of their Motherland from any uninvited ballistic missiles. The other day in Hawaii, tested SM-3 Block IIA anti-aircraft missiles. It was launched from a coastal complex for a ballistic missile of a conditional enemy. The tests were successful.
Before that, a couple of months ago, this same anti-missile was hit by another high-speed airborne target. Then the SM-3 Block IIA was launched from the destroyer "John Finn."
During the last test of the anti-missile missiles, the main attention was paid to how effectively SM-3 Block IIA would be able to install the Ajis coastal or ship complex. In addition, the target for the anti-missile detected radar, located at a considerable distance from the launcher. But even here the rocket, as the testers note, did not let down.
Recall that the two previous tests SM-3 Block IIA, which took place from summer 2017 to early 2018, ended in a clear failure. As a result, the idea of a missile was going to even freeze. However, the developers managed to defend their offspring at the very top of the Pentagon.
Recall that the SM-3 anti-missile anti-missile generation is intended for both shipborne missile defense systems and ground-based systems. Guidance is performed automatically using a matrix infrared homing head having a high resolution. The height of the lesion is up to 500 km.
