Simple [?] question:
The Aegis armament of the USS McFaul (DDG-74),an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, includes SM-2 missiles and not SM-3 missiles, right?

Is it is or is it not capable of intercepting and destroying SS-21 Tochka’s after they are launched? If the SM is on the McFaul and the SS-21 is launched at Tbilisi from South “Ossettia”, will Aegis kill the Tochka?
