SM3's would be able to cover Israel the only problem each ship carries 8 maybe 10 at the high end since these are very expensive. SM6's would only be good for coastal cities but there again each ship carries or leaves port with 20+. Granted is not a fix number but that is the usual loadout of a Burke leaving San Diego during peacetime. SM6's are also expensive so USN relies on their SM2's which is the vast majority of missiles a Burke carries and these aren't meant for ballistic missiles.Would the newly deployed USN missile destroyers be more likely to shoot down Iranian missiles compared to land based ABM such as THAAD and Arrow?
