Look I don't get the whole point about a first strike with conventional/dummy BMs to saturate/take out the ABM followed by second strike with nuclear weapons. Let us say we intercept even one incoming BM. After that we are free to launch a counter strike by claiming that the one we intercepted...

Lets get back to the original topic.

Don't you watch any Indian gangster movies? This is hafta to the global cop USA.

I said they make excellent terminal phase interceptors just did not specify whose terminal phase :biggrin2:. They are excellent against cruise missiles, MBRLs (like Nasr), even shells. Even SRBMs (like hatf, abdali ghaznavi etc) can be targeted in a pinch.

Some BMs do have seekers too e.g. DF-21 when used in an anti-shipping role.

Huh.... pray tell us what is the cost of each BMD missile in the Indian context.

I guess he is wet dreaming about some dual scramjet powered ultra hypersonic missile which will take out the aggressor missile right after launch. Not going to happen. The only thing that may work is DEWs and even those are useless beyond 100-150 kms as the energy gets dissipated fast. DEWs make...

Our NFU policy has already been re-interpreted successfully by Shri Manohar Parrikar to mention that we won't wait for our enemy to launch any attack on us. Even if we detect any attempt at preparing a nuclear strike we will consider it as First Strike and after that we will respond as required...

Dude I think you have some trouble comprehending the English language. Please reread my last few posts - I don't know how old you are but I was there in India when Kargil happened and was following it everyday. Pakistan has till date not acknowledged any involvement - even after we killed...

What contradiction? I already stated the rubicon as far as India is concerned. Kargil was and remains a covert war - Pakistan has never admitted to its involvement. We cannot take out anything in Pakistan unless there is war between us and them - real war or a sign of imminent real war...

India like everyone else was waiting for them to mate their warheads and missiles.

I don't think you understood my reply. Please read it again - they cannot launch anything until they mate their warheads.

Are you saying that after Pakistan launches one missile (or a bunch of missiles) we will continue on our path of restraint? - I call BS on that. The reason they did not launch their missiles during Kargil is because though they had missiles - it was not mated to the warheads. You have to...

As I said before, isn't it cheaper to demonstrate destruction of a launch TEL than BPI? Isn't it cheaper to demonstrate real time TEL tracking? Don't tell me all the geosynchronous satellites we have in space don't have any dual use payloads. Why demonstrate anything at all - just tell Pakistan...

Why should India have to validate that thesis?

Why don't we just experiment on interstellar travel by exploiting warps in the space time continuum. That at least sounds way more cooler than testing a technology which we will never use just to do what exactly "gain Pakistan's respect"?

BPI is not sure shot. There is no such sure shot thing. BPI is expensive and wasteful.

All these questions answered. Please rewind and read earlier comments. Why didn't they launch their missiles during Kargil? How did we intercept Musharaff's phone conversation?

If we are to design BPI then we have to track the TELs anyway to give us enough reaction time. Why can't we just destroy the Shaheen TELs before they launch anything? Why wait for the missile to be launched before showing our technical prowess??

Do they have missiles pointed at us? Did Doklam happen? Did they go to war with us in the past? Do they still hold our territory illegally? Yes, yes, yes and yes - ergo we need as much assets as we can muster to frighten them suitably. Only then will there be detente between us. If you have a...
