That is true and correct, BMD developed by DRDO is not in the same league of the following systems at all, Specially all three mentioned before ..

BMD does not have an engagement radar or separate surveillance radar but in one powerful radar with an outstanding range, It is simplified and advance and already proved its mark of 99.8 percent hit kill probability ..

Its not surprising about Posting Outdated article and twisting words around and filling pages after pages with nonsense , 70-80kms not horizontal but vertical engagement with two tier defense layers ..


Thanks to internet, we can always find out who said what.

DRDO claims to better US, Russias missile defence

Quote:"It also went on to claim that its ballistic missile defence (BMD) architecture would outclass technologies offered by the United States, Russia and Israel."

and "Dr V.K. Saraswat, chief controller, R&D and programme director (air defence), DRDO, said exo and endo-atmospheric intercept systems (designed to destroy targets within and outside the atmospheric limits) for achieving hit-to-kill probability of 99.8 per cent would be ready within two years."

Are you suggesting Indian BMD already reach US' THAAD or SM-3 level? Wow, that will be a big news!

So far, your own government is still struggling to buy Israel's Arrow 3 system which is on the same level of THAAD.

At the mean time, all the tests DRDO did were carried out under lab conditions: for example, the base shoot target missiles was only 70-80km away from interceptor.

Obviously, once again, you are wrong.

A mini nuke is like a mini toilet. You will still shit the same amount no matter what the size of the toilet. Mini nukes need as much fissile material (or more) than larger nukes - but they are inefficient and produce a very small bang for the amount of fissile material used.

May I know how did you get this 99.8%? This is a figure that Americans don't dare to claim.

If it is nonsense, then it is the nonsense produced by Indian.

Government baffled over DRDO chief's claim on missile shield : North, News - India Today

Quote:
"The usual test comprises of the launch of a "hostile missile" from the Interim Test Range in Chandipur on the Orissa coast, and the counter-launch of an interceptor missile from Wheeler Island just 70 km away. DRDO scientists say that the target missile that was intercepted in the test of February 2012, for example, mimicked a 2,000-km range missile of the type that Pakistan possesses, yet it was actually launched from 70 km away."

The actual interception of the missile is going to take place 40 to 50 KMs away. Interception does not happen hundreds of KMs away. So whether the missile flew 2000 KM or 80KM it has nothing to do with validating an interceptor missile. Sometimes it is really difficult for people to understand or they prefer to act this way.
