Earlier, on 6 March, an ESSM was launched against an MQM-8G ER Vandal
low-altitude supersonic target simulating an antiship cruise missile.
Upon detection the Vandal was assigned to the ESSM, which was fired
using inertial mid-course guidance. The missile acquired the target,
switched to terminal guidance, and intercepted the target. The
missile's proximity fuze detected the target and detonated the ESSM's
warhead.


6 march of what year ? AFAICT the last Vandal (former Talon missiles)
was expended sometime in the 2004-5 timeframe...

Best regards from Italy,
Dott. Piergiorgio.


It's a 2002 article from Sea Power
