My comment:
(a) Aster (missile family)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aster_(missile_family)
(a family of surface-to-air missiles manufactured by Eurosam, a European
consortium consisting of MBDA France, MBDA Italy (combined 66%) and the
Thales Group (33%); operators include Saudi Arabia and Singapore, besides
France, Italy and UK)
Quote:
"The Aster family was developed to perform three distinct missions: * * *
Ground-based area defence — Sol-Air Moyenne Portée Terrestre (French for
Ground-based Surface-to-Air Medium Range, SAMP/T) using batteries of Aster
30 missiles. France has demonstrated the feasibility of destroying medium
range ballistic missile.[1]
Reference 1 is this very news.
(b) So far, Besides US, China acknowledged last January an successful
interception of a missile--possibly by a HQ-9 missile (a repeat experiment
failed in summer). India has proclaimed two or three successful
interceptions. | p****g
