WASHINGTON (AFP): The US military has successfully conducted its "most challenging test to date" of a ballistic missile defence system it will deploy in Europe to counter an Iran missile threat, officials said."Initial indications are that all components performed as designed," said the Pentagon's Missile Defence Agency in a statement of the test over the Pacific Ocean in which the latest Aegis ballistic missile defence weapon system successfully intercepted an intermediate-range threat missile.
"The two demonstrations Space Tracking and Surveillance Satellites, launched by MDA in 2009, successfully acquired the target missile, providing stereo 'birth to death' tracking of the target," the agency added.
