    I agree. We ordered SpyDer because our Akash took 10-15 years for 1st squadron. (Still few years left for few squadron/regiment). MoD don't have option other than purchase from other countries. Although things are changing, Still delay is the main reason for foreign acquisition.

    Lethal.... Small addition...... when scientists and engineers at DRDO or working on something for years and at end they are unsuccessful or too much of delay and such defence requirement is immediate then government buys a foreign system.

    That was different project and not this one. Even few testing already done in last 1 year and next year, There will be few test in India. By 2013, Barak-8 will be operational with Kolkatta Class destroyer. Israel is very reliable partner. They are providing some of the best techs like Phalcon...

    Well, I agree on the point that S-500 makes difference as range is 300 Km++. Not sure, What MoD will do. or may be we already finalised like we bought S-300 long back. ;) :rofl: But once we deploy Barak-8 at Western & NE Border, We can destroy any UAV/Cruise Missiles/Aircraft before it enters...

    We have to understand one thing, We had already finalised SAM (SR/MR/LR) and ABM after years of negotiation/R&D. So, we can't buy new system. S-300 system is excellent. But what purpose it will serve for us ?? S-300 range is 75-100 Km. For that purpose, we already have 3 Bn $ Barak-8 deal JV...

    Well, S-300 is more like LR SAM with BM capability. We already have 8 units operational. Not to forget, Barak-8 and AAD/PDV both are under-development phase and both will be operational in next few years. We will have different system for different purpose. If AAD/PDV is crap (I don't know)...

    It is for BMD as well. AAD/PDV is mainly for BM. So why we will need S-300 when we already have deal/development for Air defence/SAM & BM respectively for all ranges ?

    It's not, LR SAM was already finalised 2-3 years back. Do you think, We finalised deal worth 1.1 Bn $ that also few years back for few MRSAM for few warships only ?? It's already finalised and it will take another 5-7 years to be completely inducted.

    S-300 is BMD and so AAD/PDV with different range. What's your point ?

    SpyDer means combo on Python and Derby Missile. It has 2 different range. For MR/LR, It's Barak-8. Navy-70Km and IAF/IA - 100Km+, Deal already finalised 2-3 years back. India buys upgraded Israeli air defences for $1.1bn | Reuters

    we don't need S-300 with 100-200 Km range. (We already operating 8 system of S-300 to protect major cities - No official data) Our AAD/PDV will be operational by 2015 with range 500-1000 Km range. It would be better than S-300 if it will be operational as per planned !! What we need is Arrow-3...

    SpyDer is combination of Python and Derby Missiles with range 15 and 35 Km respectively. [So, Range is 15-35Km]. As far as induction, It's already in process and by next year, All units will be inducted. Also, Highly likely that we order more as 18 units are less as per requirement of 40 odd...

    SpyDer induction is in already process (By next year, All 18 units will be inducted). We might order more (Due to delay in Akash). Akash and SpyDer both will work as SR SAM. (20-40 Km) for IAF. Akash for IA too but after 2014-2015 only. Maitri or 15 KM SRSAM acquisition/JV is mainly for IA...
