The Sunburn was not defeated. We did not hit it. I suspect it was just a stupid missile to use in this scenario. It is anti-ship, not anti-tank. It is not an area weapon, unless equipped with the 200 ton nuclear warhead.

I fear that we will see the missile actually used the way it is supposed to be used over water against US ships. Then it will be very difficult to counter.

I don't see how you can say that the anti-ship missile was not defeated. An anti-ship missile can be led astray electronically, and thus defeated. I suspect that this is the case here.
