NATO Ships Hold Missile Defense Drill Near Scotland, Pentagon Says
Warships from eight NATO countries participated in live-fire self-defense exercises of ship and missile systems near Scotland on Sunday the U.S. Department of Defense said, quoted by Reuters.
Ships from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States defended against a medium-range missile as well as three anti-ship cruise missiles.
The USS Donald Cook successfully intercepted a medium-range missile with a Standard Missile-3 Block IB guided missile during the exercise, the Pentagon said.
Three anti-ship cruise missiles were fired upon by Spanish and Dutch ships participating in the “Formidable Shield” exercises in the U.K. Ministry of Defense’s Hebrides Range located on the Western Isles of Scotland.
The U.S. Department of Defense said this was the first time NATO’s “smart defense” concept was demonstrated with some ships providing protection to other vessels targeting ballistic missiles.
