Question

Which ship-launched missile has the longer range, Aster 30 or SM-6?

Short answer

It depends on the variant and role; no single range ranking is given.

Notes

Aster 30 and SM-6 cannot be ranked by name alone because the variant and role matter. No specific variant pairing or numerical range is given. Detailed performance comparisons are deliberately avoided because both systems were in service when the question was asked.
