BMD test shot in the USA, stagnation in Germany
Andreas Uhl
On 16 November 2020, the US Missile Defense Agency reported a spectacular success in a test firing in the sea area off Hawaii: "We have demonstrated that an Aegis BMD system - equipped with SM-3 Block IIA missiles - can defeat an ICBM [Intercontinental Ballistic Missile] target. This is one step in the process of investigating feasibility as part of an architecture for a layered defence of the homeland," said Vice Admiral Jon Hill, director of the agency. "This was an incredible achievement and a critical milestone for the Aegis BMD SM-3 Block IIA programme."
