Meh, they have been shooting down missiles for years.

Let them shoot down an surprise attack of over 200 missiles with an unknown trajectory of which most fired from just off the coast. Than I will say it wasn't a waste of money.

Why so defensive?
This sends out the wrong message doesnt it?
As all others who hate the west would be more determined to say okay we have seen yours now look at ours!

Just rubbing the Russians up the wrong way, if you ask me.

Now its Irans turn it seems is it me or is everyone beginning to flex their muscles and trying to prove a point?
Iran's state radio says the country's navy has test-fired a sea-to-sea missile during a six-day naval maneuver in the Sea of Oman.

I smell a bloody war sooner than we think?
