Fast Take: Update to SM-6 seen on F/A-18 SuperHornet - Meet the AIM-174

I put down a quick take on the new AIM-174. A missile with 100% greater range than the AIM-120 AMRAAM, intercept terminal-stage hypersonic missiles, and can even engage ships and land targets

Overview:

The air-launched version of the hugely versatile SM-6 missile, also known as the RIM-174, has appeared on U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighters at the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, the world’s largest international maritime exercise.
