Sword fish?

I believe Hypersonic cruise missile will fly at much lower altitude than the kill altitude of AD2 which is design to kill incoming missile of ICBM range. Do you have any referance in support of your claim?

I had opened one thread on PDF on India's AAD/PDV vs Arrow 2. That kind of discussion should happen here as well. Can Anybody explain how PDV/AAD will perform compared to Arrow II and PAC 3?

The real deal will be AD1 and AD2. This is an interceptor which intercepts the missile bellow the atmosphere. It can protect limited theater. FOr long range missiles, you need to intercept them at very high altitude which PDV does. However, PDV is very slow. We need something like Arrow 3 to...

Very true. I argued the same few days ago in an discussion.

It will have 250 KM to 300 KM range. Ex sam (Variant of MRSAM) shall hve 150 KM range.

It is not rumor but it is under development.

Interceptor program is a very complex program and private sector can not play any role right now. Once the program is matured, they can build subsystems.

There was a news before that failed test of new vehicle AAD that it will be an advance version with low weight and composite motor and desi seeker. There is no confirmation of these information except the seeker.

Yes, Endothermic targets at least.

Third rate butt hurt Chinese. When they can not match, they say they are 20 and 30 years ahead. Fact of the matter is that China does not have this capability even today. Even after stealing Russian technology , they could not make decent air defense system and they have to buy S400 from...

You are right. I am just talking about protection of ship against missile. If the role extends, obviously it will become more complicated.

No it is not same. Your PDV is positioned at point X. enemy missile is targeting point Y 100 KM away. You need to travel a lot more and interception angle will also change. In case of BMD protecting ship, Scenario shall be much less complicated.

The main difference between an interceptor based on navy and and land is that on a land based Interceptor has to protect a large area extending Hundreds and thousands of Sq Km. In navy based interceptor, you need to protect an area just few thousand Sq meters. That should be damn easy.

The more imortant issue is not range but altitude. Barak 8 can not go above 20 Km against 150 KM of PDV. In case PDV fails to intercept incoming missile, you are left with choice to fire other missile.

Awesome. Simply awesome. ..............

Yes, PAD was based on Prithvi 2 stage and could not go above 80 KM. It was basically a Jugad to put seeker on already proved missile. PDV was specially designed to intercept at high altitude.

When did we do that? Pl elaborate.

No K family was exposed much before DRDO announced same at the time of last successful test of K 15.

DF 21 is a paper missile without any successful or even failed test.
