The Laser itself is not the problem and neither is the principle it is based on. The electricity required to power the laser is the problem. If the power part is taken care of it will solve troubles on all aircraft in the world on a variety of other problems too.YAL-1 is not easy, it's the most difficulty tech among the interception techs.
You are obviously living in the dark ages.BVR is impossible because the acceleration is pretty high, the ballistic missile will soon exceed both speed limit and altitude limit of BVR missile.
Something for you to get started on;
http://www.stratfor.com/memberships/106253/analysis/u_s_military_successful_boost_phase_intercept
A successful boost-phase ballistic missile intercept by a modified Sidewinder missile was carried out Dec. 3
Boost phase interception can be carried out from low altitudes as well.
Boost phase interception is possible only using air borne platforms. It is expensive, but is very easy as we see from the 2007 American test where a WVR missile took down a missile.In fact ascent phase interception is nearly unpractical unless against missiles from small country like N.Korea.
AAD is a KKV. So add India to the mix as well, if you haven't already. Our very first model is already better than both Arrow-2 and Patriot-2.Terminal interception is the easies because you just need a SAM+, many counties can make SAM, but only two or three can make KKV.
KKV = Kinetic Kill Vehicle. It is a name for a SAM with hit to kill capability. Even your Anti satellite system "KKV" is a SAM with hit to kill capability.
Yes. And that's the reason Mid course interception is easier than terminal interception. Reaction time.Middle-course interception can protect thousands square kilometer or several counties, while terminal only can protect dozens of square kilometer.
Also a mid course interception system could have a capability that would be twice that of terminal phase intercept systems and not the huge difference that you are trying to suggest.
The A-135 info is quite old, so we don't know how far Russia has progressed with it. They have anti-satellite systems based on Mig-31s since the 80s.S-400/500 are common SAM or SAM+ they can't operate above the atmosphere, in fact Russia's mid-course defense system A-135 uses explosive warhead, not KKV.
The AAD uses a Radio frequency seeker for interception. The Chinese KKV uses IR seeker for interception. Huge difference in the two technologies used. The new Indian PDV will use a Radio freq seeker as well as an IR seeker for it's KKV capability. You could say our missiles are better protected from counter measures too.
