Let us continue the discussion for missile defence here. Thanks

Recently the MoD had threatened an audition into BMD of india claiming that the drdo had fed the prithvi missile trajectory beforehand into the BMD to make the intercept easier. I am not sure what happened to it. But if that is true, then the so called tracking may be a bogus. I will post the...

Aircraft may have better defence against air missiles but land based SAMs rely on radar guidance and are not like BVR which are fire and forget. Akash SAM, for example gets its input from both ground based radar as well as its own seekers in the last stage. It is extremely difficult to fool...

SAMs are generally fully accurate for aircrafts and subsonic missile. Hit probability of Akash is 88% per missile which means 2 missile and it becomes 98.5%. One can even fire 3 missiles if necessary. Akash SAMs are cheaper and can be used in larger numbers while aircrafts and long range cruise...

Nope. THEL was discontinued as it was too bulky, immobile and too slow to reload/recharge

Such a weapon has not been invented yet. Kali may just be a myth.

There is no laser, CO2 or otherwise that can hit a missile. If that existed, it would take gigawatt of energy which can't be made as a mobile device like a plane or satellite. These things can produce energy of maximum few megawatts.

No laser beam has been made yet. The missile is capable of handling 1000s of degree Celsius heat. The warhead is made of some refractory ceramic or carbon composite as it gets heated while travelling at 8km per second speed in reentry phase (24Mach) foe some ICBM

There is no satellite launched missiles as of yet. Satellites move at thousands of kilometres per second, the missiles launched from it to earth have effects of coriolis force, gravity, wind speed variations at different heights etc. Also, missile testing os needed which is pretty dangerous as...

Yes, ISRO has stated that using the Isro PSLV or Agni 5, seekers and detection capabilities of ABM or SAMs, we can make anti satellite missile. Satellites are easy to kill as they aren't as maneuverable as missiles or planes. The orbits of satellites are fixed and it is easy to destroy them by...

There is no true anti ballistic missile system. Most of the systems are not foolproof. Only short range missiles can be intercepted. S400 is imported. We need PDV or Ashwin which is improvised. With Israeli seekers, it is possible. Even BARAK-8 is said to be ABM, though it is neither confirmed...
