See the Naval Institute Guide to World Naval Weapon Systems page 578: "30-40% more range" relative to older Aspide. If you take 35km (apparently the original quoted range for Aspide 2000) and devide by 140 then multiply by 100 you get 25km. But the Guide mentions that Aspide 2000 range is 40km rather than 35km.But mbda quotes that aspide 2000 has 40% improvement in range vs baseline aspide missile while both LY-60 based on aspide mk1 and aspide 2000 have a difference of just 5 km,,ie 20 and 25 km with length of missile and weight notoriously closer to one another.
Is aspide mk1 same as baseline aspide??
If you look in that same guide page 570 with LY-60, an intercept range (not necessarily the max range) of 18km is given with an altitude coverage of 12km.
