    An SM-3 missile is launched from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer JS Kirishima, successfully intercepting a ballistic missile target launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii. The test was conducted as a Japan and U.S. joint exercise, with the U.S. Navy Aegis guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie and the U.S. Navy Aegis guided-missile destroyer USS Russell detection and tracking cooperation.

    A missile is being launched from what appears to be a naval vessel, captured at the moment of ignition with a large plume of exhaust smoke billowing outward. The missile is visible ascending vertically with a bright flame at its tip, surrounded by a luminous halo effect caused by the intense light. The scene takes place against a blue sky with scattered clouds, likely during daytime or twilight conditions.

    A Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) warship is conducting a missile launch test, identified as JFTM-4 (Japanese Flight Test Missile-4) in 2010 at Point Mugu, California. The image shows a missile ascending with a bright flame and white smoke trail against a partly cloudy sky. The photo was taken by NavAir Photo and shows the ship flying the JMSDF Rising Sun ensign.
    The image captures a missile launch from what appears to be a naval vessel, with a large plume of orange and yellow exhaust gases surrounding the projectile. The missile is visibly ascending from a deck-mounted vertical launch system (VLS), silhouetted against the intense combustion gases. The ship's superstructure is partially visible on the right side of the frame.
