French Navy Frigate Normandie Fires Aster 30 Long Range Surface to Air Missile

On Wednesday, January 27, 2021, the French Navy (Marine Nationale) FREMM Frigate Normandie successfully test-fired an Aster 30 long range surface to air missile. Captain Perruchio, Normandie's commanding officer, explains how the firing went.
=====================

This successful firing against a target drone, carried out at battle station, crowns the crew's regular training in the use of their weapons.

The Aster 30 fired by Normandie destroyed the target which was representative of the types of missiles that French Navy ships may face.

Equipping the Normandie since its delivery in 2019, the Aster 30 missile is also embarked on the FREMM Bretagne, air defense frigates (FDA) Forbin and Chevalier Paul and will be on the future FREMM-DA (air defense). The Aster 30 gives FREMMs "local area defense" capability, as explained by the commanding officer.
