I think quasi-ballistic missiles with depressed trajectory like our K series (land variants) can be used to target ships but mid-couse guidance should be provided by OTOH ground radars, awacs and satellites.

10km/sec is almost equal to mach 30.

It's in the news for a while since the march 27 interception. Also confirmed during the DRDO press conference on April 6. The satellite speed was 7.4 km/sec and the kkv speed was 10 km/sec.

I don't think Raytheon KKV has a range of 200 km. AD-1 and AD-2 are for terminal phase interception whose role is similar to AAD and PDV for endo and exo atmospheric but can take care of more high speed targets. Together they will do the role of PAC-3 and THAAD. Whereas PDV-MK2 (or XSV-1) is...

I think we still need AD-1 and AD-2 to complement our terminal phase interceptor AAD and PDV to take care of high speed targets (5-7Km/sec icbm class re-entry vehicles) while PDV MK2 (or xsv-1) takes care of mid-course interception. These will be sleek and taller than AAD and PDV (as shown in an...

Brilliant article on DDR posted by Indranil Roy on our ASAT test. http://delhidefencereview.com/2019/04/03/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-pdv-mk-ii-indias-satellite-killer/

The PDV MK2 nomeclature is just a cover and the actual name is XSV-1. It is designed to intercept satellites in LEO upto 2000 km altitude with a weight of 18 tons having boosters from agni 3/5 family. Now it shows that we have the neccesary mid course interceptor missile with a KKV and required...

Is the 1500 km horizontal range or altitude range? Also is xrsam missile under development will be a spinoff of aad similar to asat is a derivative of pdv? Again I see pdv mk2 as a potential mid course ICBM intercept with 1000 km+ interception range. Wonder whether we will go ahead with ad1...

LOl I am still waiting for the retaliation global times editorial was threatening us during doklam crisis.
