If she is talking about France that is in reference to SAMP/T shooting down Scuds. I guess she is just talking about shooting down a ballistic missile.

If Akash is anti-ballistic then SAMP/T can shoot down Star Destroyers.

Who said the missile was 1840km above the earth? Chinese hardly need to track the missile when they have the interceptor pre-programmed to the target's trajectory.

They were removed, the only AD nuclear warheads are those for the S-300 at 20kt. The Gazelle only had a 10kt warhead.

Talk about overkill :P More like 20kt...

Only thing from Chinese press I've seen is a picture of an exoatmospheric nuclear detonation. lol

Wow, what conciet when none is deserved. China collided a ballistic missile with a preplanned ballistic missile that was months to years in the making. Any two bit country with a missile programme can do that. What countries with REAL ABM programmes do is actual test with actual conditions...

I would speculate that the problem isn't in the launch mechanism, ie modifications, but the guidance. If the gyros aren't coming with a consistent quality, you will get inconsistent results.

Why would they modify a Prithvi for an SRBM interceptor test? Its not like it is going to maneuver anywhere. Just fire it and test. The gyroscopes are bad or something. Whatever the problem, there are serious deficiencies in the quality control at India's BM production faclities.

Weird, India makes better interceptors than it does ballistic missiles.
