SM-6 is expensive given the range required for anti-shipping in this area. You could probably spam about a dozen PrSMs for the price of 1 SM-6 IB.

PrSMs are on the order of ~500k? Because IIRC SM6s are only about 6mil.

We all know that the battery commander is going to be called "Papa Smurf"...

PrSM I think 1.1 mil; sm-6 Ib is double Ia.

Far as i know typhoon uses Ia currently, though I presume little change is needed for Ib.

Japan, Philippines, S. Korea and Australia (can be others) should have a few thousand anti ship missiles all that can attack through the entirety of the SCS. China’s entire navy should be at the bottom of the ocean if they move on Taiwan.

They need plenty of air defence to cover those AShMs too.
