F variant is known as the PAC-3 MSE, IOC in 2017. So the paragraph selected in the first pic seems to be confusing/contradictory at least. Or the 35km figure could be for ABM, which is only a practical figure. The source themselves all appear to be primitive and uninformed. Dup of #4885.

that is true, armyrecognition confuses pac-3 MIM-104F with the PAC-2 GEM+. But most sources indicate max range for the TVM/SARH GEM+ to have a maximum range of 160km against air breathing targets
