    Indian Ballistic Missile Defense System

    ^^Israeli Arrow system uses US parts but the BMD is organic to Israel. Even China has tested ABMs recently. So we are in the exclusive group of 4 nations. However, there is difference in terminal speed of Prithvi/Srbm and Agni/Irbm. How is that compensated ?

    1. Laws of Ballistics. 2. Frozen before 3. Nope. Refer to Laws of Ballistics 1. Don't use slurs like P*k, Ch*nkii etc. They are frowned upon. 2. ABM rely upon laws of ballistics for targetting too. It would be impossible to intercept an object travelling at 10-20mach and changing its...

    Arrow's sale was denied by US. By S-series if you mean S-300(ABM/VM), it failed during trials conducted by India. Under development Barak-2/8/NG-MR/LR is expected to have ABM capabilities too. BMD(upto atleast MRBM capability) is expected to be operational by 2012 and it will protect only...

    Nope, neither is it intended to. Comparing a BMD(ballistic missile defence shield) with a CMD(cruise missile defence shield) is like comparing a Tata Nano with a Bugatti Veyron.

    correct. :rofl: You are wrong. (trajectory, speed, size all are different). In fact a radar like WLR will not be able to detect an SRBM till it is about to land on it. And China will never fire a salve of SRBM and Artillery but SLBMs and ICBMs which are harder to detect and intercept...

    IIRC Indian govt. has scrapped plans to purchase Arrow, instead it instituted the IBMDP which resulted in PAD-AAD.

    Brahmos range was never reduced, Yakhont the missile on which its propulsion (ramjet engine) is based on, is again <300km in range. So nothing was reduced but nothing was enhanced either. Brahmos is a nuclear warhead capable missile.

    If it is required than there is full chance to employ it but against Pakistan Enhanced LR-SAMs like the 250mile S-400 will serve no purpose. Most of their assets are based within a 100mile radius of Indian borders anyways. What is required is a robust highly capable credible Cruise missile...

    Indian Ballistic Missile Defense System

    I may not be the most qualified to answer this but quite simplistically speaking, each missile is built for a particular purpose. A Naval SAM such as Barak is used as an anti-missile missile, a SAM such as Tungsuka is used as a low altitude SAM to target low flying objects, a SAM such as Akash...

    Avi don't sir me dude. I might be younger than you. :D Israel-US raise a hue and cry at every Iranian move that is nothing new. S-300 is a great SAM but not the best ABM. I believe India tested them in an ABM role, its shortcomings prompted the failed Arrow ABM purchase. S-400 can also...
