ПР SM-3 Block IIA успешно сшибла "МБР"

Большой успех на испытаниях. Противоракета SM-3 (на базе ЗУР SM-2) -- точнее ее вариант SM-3 Block IIA -- на испытаниях сбила "межконтинентальную баллистическую ракету" (БР-мишень, разумеется). Противоракета была запущена с борта ЭМ УРО John Finn (DDG 113) (типа DDG 51 Flight IIA).
