I know Japan uses a varient (basicaly its a burke without the land attack capability) of our DDGs and i believe South korea does to.
So in naval vessels atleast were not the only ones.

It's all context dependent. You can't use Russian land-based SAMs to protect a naval taskforce. Russian ships, which tend to mount Russian SAMs like the S-300F, are not much cheaper.

Cool stuff. I wonder if the land-based SM3s will finally be made, if it's relatively easy and cheap to allow SM2s and/or SM6s to be launched from these platforms? Because that would essentially make this the US version of the S300/S400 right?

I actually got to watch to X-Band Radar go out to see off the Hawaiian Coast while on a since lab trip tracking whale pod movements and their interactions with boats and other human made noise. MY professor actually sued the US Navy for active sonar... I Stood UP in CLASS and tried to explain the whole Russian Missie Sub Threat, yea she didn't get it, but flew around the world on 8 trips a year to do lectures, hows that for the environment...
Back to my point, the us is going the stealth and i believe supersonic speed. Bypass any missile defense possible by going Mach 8.0...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hy-V_Scramjet_Flight_Experiment]The Hy-V Scramjet Flight Experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and then there is the NASA X-43 also able to be found in Google or wikipedia with NASA links.
Add in what the upgraded SM3 is going to produce, plus yes, i believe laser tech down the road, 10-20 years to get it the size we need to make it destructible at LONG ranges. have a good nice,
.peace.
