FWIW when we talk of hypersonic boost glide weapons we must not forget we have one - Shaurya albeit its range is around 700 Kms

But how will the information be passed one especially if there is a hypersonic war head.In the example you quoted 100 meters would not cut it for a ship - it owuld have to be single digit meters to have a meaningful kill. A true aircraft carrier killer would have to be accurate to " break the...

One thing though- we have shown we have rapid real time midcourse correction

If it is ballistic I wonder how they will be able to do terminal guidance as the ship will be moving and if the RV is heated up and has a plasma sheath around it ? The so called Chinese carrier killer at the end of the day "killed" just an outline of a ship. Any idea how this can be done ?

Strictly speaking we should not be using Mach numbers in space but actual velocity

No it is not Mach 10. Closing velocity was 10.5 Kms/ second. If I remember right satellite was at 7.5 Kms/ sec and ASAT at 3 Kms/ sec. Satellite speed should be easily calculable based on orbital height. GEO sats "travel" at around 3.3 Kms / second making them " stationary" to the ground track...

Actually he is making it more difficult for himself

NKS had mentioned before that an electronic test was a prelude to the actual kill. The moment he said that I realized that the previous unexplained NOTAM that was placed was for the electronic target test.

When Global times screams - we are doing something right !!

FWIW we had a previous NOTAM that Kurup had put up and no launch was announced a month back.

When GT screams we are on the right track
