Now you are talking. Radar itself would not get fried, but its circuit would be effected. Now this is where the hardening part happens. Its transceiving modules itself would be unaffected. Now for more then a limited range EMP burst, a nuclear weapon is not good enough. You need dedicated EMP...

And I've already pointed out the facts to look out for in between Prahar and WS-2. You are missing out the whole point there.

Does a home based Microwave OTG have hardened electronics? Does the manufacturing of you DTH LNB and that used by a space based LNB is same? Point is, you have to see what you are targeting. A EMP burst could effect Jaguar, but against hardened electronics of MKI, it would be useless.

GPS makes the system accurate, but not accurate enough to bring down a CEP from 3 digit to single digit.

It would not. That is the very concept of electronics hardening. You don't use a aircraft to deliver nuclear weapon unless it is able to withstand the after effect.

Just compare both the system and based on that think on the range.

There is a difference between SAM and BMD. When you coin the term SAM, then it means its kill probability is higher then any BMD. In today's scenario, even the warheads does have enough hardened electronics to withstand nuclear blast in vicinity. Why you think even US and Russia had withdrawn...

Lets have a look at the specs of both the system. Prahar WS-2 Length 7.3 mtr 7.3mtr Calibre 420mm 400mm Weight 1285kg 1285kg Warhead 200kg 200kg CEP <10mtr at 150km ~600mtr at 200 km Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prahaar_(missile)...

@bengalraider apart from this, just look at the time frame when it was done. During cold war an EMP burst would have brought down an aircraft. When India fielded Mirage in initial years, it was much touted as nuclear capable. But all knew the fact that if something like that have to be done...

Our answer to that would be Prahar.

Why anyone would want a Nuclear SAM?
