That is why there is Aster-15 and Aster-30. The major difference is the size of the booster. Barak has even greater variation to complete the same range of missions. Either Aster are hardly ballistic when they have thrust vectors in both booster and interceptor dart making them the most maneuverable SAMs on the planet.BTW HQ 9 and aster have the same problem they are ballistic missile interceptors modified to do fleet defense
they are too big too expensive have a single pulse engine and only capital ships can carry them
yes they can down a scud or a b-1 bomber but such skills are rarely needed and burden the ships that carry it
