Satellite trajectory is known beforehand whereas missile trajectory has to be calculated on the spot in a few minutes. So, ASAT is actually much easier than BMD due to prior knowledge about the trajectory I don't think any country has this yet. Also, it is difficult to get multi-kill vehicle as...

All of the other things are not a serious threat. However, USA has absolutely no defence against ballistic missile and is desperately opposing Iran, North Korea, Pakistan etc in getting missiles. In such cases, it is only wise that USA does not scale back its BMD system. USA has no reason to...

USA has too much money to scale back anything. USA runs of military industrial complex and will not scale back on anything. It is simply practically too difficult to intercept very fast missiles

No one makes such assumptions. The problem with non hit-to-kill is that the missile travels in open space which can be in tens of kilometers in all 3 axis. The speed of ICBM is also in orders of 7-8kms. Even a small deviation is enough to avoid the fragments from hitting due to this. So, the...

Even USA does not have ICBM interceptor that works consistently. USA is trying GMD etc, but their effectiveness is suspect. THAAD works only upto IRBM.

Don't think that just having conical/spherical shape will make RCS low. Just try shining a torch on a cone or sphere and check if you only see a point object or do you see the shape too. Also, the RV falls to earth with a tilt like this : The radar gets to see the entire triangle area with...

GMD is not yet completed. Even as late as 2013, there were test failures. Hence these can't be considered as perfected systems. It is under development and the kill probability is not very high yet. The SM-3 block 1 and block 1A were developmental version. Block 2 was the real version and it...

HQ-9 is SAM. PAC-3 is endo-atmospheric interceptor. So, you are damn wrong to say that none else makes endo-atmospheric interceptor. In fact, PAC-1 is one of the first BMD made and even till 2010, its upgraded PAC-3 was the only deployed BMD by USA and was endo-atmospheric. THAAD was deployed...

I never claimed that the warhead in the piicture as a RV. The RV is bigger tahn the warhead. I only gave a scale to show that RVis not a small target to track. About drag of RV, it can't be reduced beyond a limit. I am not speaking of blunt shaped RV. The simple rule is that the more drag RV...

Gravitation gives acceleration of about 9.8m/s^2 which means every second, the speed is increased by 10m/s roughly. The speed of warhead is 13Mach for 1500-2000km MRBM and that translates to 4km/s speed. Even if the gravity acts on for 100 seconds, the speed would only increase by 25% or 1km/s...

Here is news article to say that AAD has RF seeker: http://www.delhidefencereview.com/2018/08/02/drdo-successfully-test-aad-endoatmospheric-interceptors-against-multiple-incoming/

What is difficulty for a radar and IIR seeker to work in night vs day? The difficulty is for human eyes only, not for radars or IIR Missiles that have been splintered may fall on the surface but will not explode. The items will just be some plutonium and uranium, none of which are dangerously...

PDV is definitely better than liquid fuel PAD. I am not sure how enemy RV will be visible if the sun is directly behind it while seeing in IIR seeker. IIR seeker seeks heat and sun will appear extremely hot ball of fire which will block the view. Discrimination of target becomes easier once it...

There are several things to note here: PDV uses IIR seeker whereas AAD uses RF seeker Incoming target missile simulated range is not known. Exo-atmosphere interception is really difficult as the incoming warhead will be very fast and will not slow down as it happens in endo-atmosphere due to...

India conducts successful interceptor missile test at night India successfully conducted an interceptor missile test off the Odisha coast Sunday night, achieving a major milestone in developing a two-layer Ballistic Missile Defence system, defence sources said. The interceptor was launched...

What conspiracy theory? Facts are also conspiracy theory? Are you saying that foreign rule is not present via proxy govt anywhere? These are not conspiracy. This is how things worked. Solar energy is a myth and will remain so. Nuclear energy is also limited. The amount of Uranium is limited and...

Do you read? I said India is capable of mining Uranium but is not doing so because UPA was foreign agency based government and worked against Indian interest. It is just like govt in South Korea or Japan is not making nuclear bombs because they are under USA occupation and USA runs the country...

As I said, these are fake news or propaganda. India is capable of extracting required amount of Uranium from Indian mines. The extraction was sabotaged. The mines can be extracted at the rate of at least 1% of reserve ratio. The unnecessary shill voice and excuses don't cut. Even coal was...

The word is that USA wanted India to give up weapons programme and hence made this deal. India was not starving of Uranium. Even without Tumallepalle, India still has over 100 thousand tonnes of Uranium. Also, Indian coal reserves are massive enough to not worry about 2-3 GW of nuclear energy...

That is your understanding. How can one improve quality of nukes? Were the quality of nukes till now bad? India does not need imported Uranium for making bombs. India has 210 thousand tons of Uranium in India itself. You can see the geological survey of India for this data. The imported...
