Surveying Iranian Anti-ship ballistic missile capability

standard 3 can not attack it because of the shape of this missile moving ( i don't have enough time to teach different ballestic moves.
standard 1 can not too .
BUT standard 2 may hit it but there are other problem : there is a good plasma layer of the persian gulf missile in the last stage and it make it stealth , and also it has a high speed too so 2 big problems for standard 2, and if standard 2 can hit 1-2 missile the other missiles will blow everything up! ( we will lunch at least 15 missiles on the ships! because we have a lot of them .

Bro, shape does not matters. Tracking does.

This chart shows that how SM-3 is being improved:

Modern US ABM systems are not based on 'hit or miss' formula. Once the target missile gets locked by the radar or other systems, the ABM follows it until it engages it within its range limit. ABM has its own in-built guidance system as well.

SM-3 has speed range of 3-5 km/s.

Read this:

The RIM-66K-L/ SM-2 Standard. This is the most commonly encountered variant, and a long series of upgrades have kept it current over the years. SM-2 Block IIIA missiles have greater capability at even lower altitudes than previous SM-2 versions, a more powerful fragmentation warhead, and can use Interrupted Continuous Wave Illumination (ICWI) to improve performance against supersonic maneuvering anti-ship missiles. SM-2 Block IIIB is the most popular version at present, swapping ICWI capability for an infrared (IR) guidance mode capability developed by the Missile Homing Improvement Program (MHIP). IR guidance offers a form of backup guidance in saturation missile attacks, where the limited number of illuminators on a ship without active array radars may have to switch back and forth during the targeting process. It also helps against enemy missiles with stealth features, which can be tracked by the infrared plume created by their engines or by air friction.

SM-2 has speed of around 4 km/s.
