The SM-3’s EKV payload is unusual. It doesn’t explode, but rather destroys targets by hovering precisely in their way and letting them collide with it, wrecking themselves as much or more by their own kinetic energy as that of the EKV. The key is an extremely sensitive infrared telescope that tracks a hot ballistic warhead in the cold near-vacuum of the “exo-atmosphere” – the beginning of space, 60 miles up and more.

Glad we're not all Boeing morons in the US.

There's video in the article of a missile flying then exploding in a weird blue explosion. Obviously a much different form of interception than conventional SAMs.

No shit. The idea that we let Israel detonate nukes is laughable. "Arrow missiles" development was financed by the US government, and they're made by Boeing. Israel is just there to take the blame if one of them fails. Also, any accidents will happen on their soil, not ours.
