US Navy Tests SM-6 Missiles at MAX Range during Atlantic Thunder 26, the latest US-UK naval exercise off Scotland. Here is the full news breakdown of the new live-fire test and the SM-6's listed 230-mile range.
The destroyer USS Paul Ignatius fired the Standard Missile 6 at the retired frigate ex-USS Klakring, and the Navy has not said how far the missile actually flew. In this video, we cover the SM-6 (RIM-174), its cost and production numbers, the destroyer that fired it, the target frigate, and the attack sequence that ended with a Mark 48 torpedo from the new Virginia-class submarine USS Massachusetts.
