The Royal Navy has released a video showing its Type 45 destroyer HMS Diamond testing its Sea Viper missile system off the Scotland coast.
In the missile system test, the launched 450kg Aster missile flew four times the speed of sound and destroyed a drone target that simulated a projectile attack on the ship.
The Mirach drone target was approaching at around 500mph.
