Has 1S has been tested and inducted ?

Why , what is shame in it even if it is older version.

No s400 payment is in roubles afaik not in rupee

It won't for the single fact that algorithms to control flight characteristics which are most time consuming is pretty much done. And new akash is just the same missile with increase in range only. To me it looks like they do not want Akash missile to be changed drastically by adding seeker...

Vk saraswat and Chander both were missile man.npo doubt missiles get highest attention in DRDO..

Had read it in DRDO website itself long back.Will dig that link for you.

You need to come out of the feeling that ABM programs are just experiments and BM are invincible.A experimental program cannot spin off new SAM missiles like PDV. Very less info is leaked on press so as to keep ABM program low profile. But that does not mean there is no enough focus.Nearly 40...

Arnab,if i remember our interceptors work on proximity fuse arent they? I know our ABM program needs more time to mature. We have only used Prithvi missiles for target.we have not even tested our ABM program for our own agni missiles with decoys. First test of PDV done in march was to validate...

I mentioned Akash SAM just as an example. It was notional example of a SAM defense system to indicate how range controls the cost.I very well know that Akash SAM cannot intercept targets with higher speed of 600 m/s. BTW,can you mention with exact reason why you think a mature PDV missile...

Sgarg,yes a typical SAM battery will cost in millions. Agreed. But what you do not realize is Exo-atmosphere Interceptors can cover wider region than Endo-atmospheric interceptors. For example one Akash SAM defense system can at max cover a region of 25 Kms around the Strategic location. But...

Do you think Pak will afford to throw its missiles to bomb villages?It can't . It has to be big cities and strategic locations. Its a known fact that India will try to cover only those locations in ABM program. my request to you would be put in more effort in understanding our ABM program. you...

Ballistic missiles are designed to create large destruction.hence they carry Larger war heads.This inevitably increases the size of Ballistic missiles and hence fuel and cost increases.Like i Said earlier Agni 5 cost 50 crore a piece.On the other side ABM missiles are SAM missiles which just...

Well,your notion of Anti missile capability being very expensive is wrong. If ABM system is deisgned for Terminal phase,it become quite expensive as you need to have batteries of missiles stationed over a large distance.But if ABM system is designed for Mid course then it could be less...

The good news of the above interview was, The development of missile seekers has been now considered a national mission and they have targetted next 3 years for development of seeker in all bands. - This was required as any sanctions on seeker technology could have absolutly halted various...
