broncepulido Posted October 20, 2024 Author Report Posted October 20, 2024 Related, the dozen or so SM-3 BlkIIA launched in defense of Israel perhaps were the only ones deployed, by these prodution numbers: https://cdrsalamander.substack.com/p/running-out-of-sm-3-at-sea?utm_source=publication-search Quote
TonyE Posted October 23, 2024 Report Posted October 23, 2024 Thank you sir, for some reason I'm surprised there have been that many THAAD produced. At least we are somewhat ramping up SM-6 acquisition, manufacturing 300/yr is a start. SM-3 BlkIIB numbers are a little less anemic than BlkIIA but even 43/yr isn't much when you get into a more intense war. 1 Quote
