SM-6 Fired At Target Ship Down Under By U.S. Army's Typhon Launcher

[TWZ] The Army plans to field the Typhon system permanently in the Indo-Pacific, which will provide persistent long-range strike capability on China's doorstep.
Hello Taiwan!
For the first time, the U.S. Army has conducted a live-fire exercise with its Typhon ground-based missile system outside of the continental United States. The system, which can also fire Tomahawk cruise missiles, used an SM-6 multi-purpose missile to successfully sink a target at sea, during Exercise Talisman Sabre 25 in Australia. Using the Typhon against a maritime target demonstrates an important capability for the system, with this role especially critical in the Indo-Pacific context.

#1 The SM-6 (RIM-174 Standard Extended Range Interceptor) is a versatile, multi-mission missile used by the U.S. Navy. It's capable of performing anti-air warfare (AAW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), and ballistic missile defense (BMD) in the terminal phase. Originally designed for air defense, it has evolved to intercept ballistic missiles and even target surface vessels.
