Novo míssil dos EUA pode alterar o poder no mar do Sul da China

By Jordi Bou

August 16, 2024 - A projeção pela Marinha dos EUA de um novo míssil ar-ar de alcance extremamente longo na região do Indo-Pacífico ameaça suplantar a vantagem de alcance aéreo da China.

The AIM-174B, developedU.S.’s primary ship-launched interceptor, Raytheon SM-6, is the longest-range such missile the U.S. has ever fielded and was officially acknowledged in July.

The missile outranges China’s PL-15 missile as it can attack 400km. The long-range weapon is expected to help American jets by allowing them to stay far away from the targets during active operations.
