So this must be the endo-atmospheric piece, and AD2 is probably the exo-atmospheric one. Judging by the fins, might be wrong.

BMD-II is for 5000 km range Ballistic Missile. This would work in endo as well as exo atmospheric mode.

Pad and pvd are same right ?

So, as the target class missile's range increases, it gets more difficult to intercept them due to their higher speed.

Pad and pvd are same right ?

Actually no, both are different. PAD was precursor to the PDV. PDV is more compact and advanced compared to PAD. PAD program has been terminated with the advancement of PDV.

 

[Fatalis]

With the completion of Phase-1 and implementation of Phase-2, we will most probably nullify the threat from Pakistan's IRBM.

 

[Chinmoy]

Pad and pvd are same right ?

Sort of.

PAD or Programme AD is essentially the project to develop a BMD.

PDV or Prithvi defence vehicle is the exo-atmospheric missile.

AAD is endo atmospheric missile under Programme AD or PAD.

So PAD = BMD phase 2

 

[Chinmoy]

So, as the target class missile's range increases, it gets more difficult to intercept them due to their higher speed.

Yes. Interception, both exo and endo atmospheric occurs in terminal phase. As the range of target missile increases, it performs the reentry from a higher altitude. With increase in altitude, the speed increases of the target missile or warhead.

 

[Chinmoy]

So PAD = BMD phase 2

PAD is Programme AD. It is the programme rather then the missile.

PAD is Prithvi Air Defence na??

 

[WARREN SS]

So PAD = BMD phase 2

ASAT was PDV2 Test

The Inteceptor was a ICBM killer Which can Kill Peacemaker class missiles

 

[Chinmoy]

PAD is Prithvi Air Defence na??

There is always an anonymity observed. Media took 'P' in PAD to be 'Prithvi' because a modified Prithvi missile has been used. DRDO just played along.

 

[Jambudweepa]

PAD is Prithvi Air Defence na??

Prithivi air defence was old missile . ll be replaced by pradyumna missile as per the article below .

And ladies and gents, we have arrived. With this test India entered the big boys's league.
HD pic from today's test

She's such a beauty.

AD-1 has a range in excess of 400 km. It's in the same class as THAAD , or rather it's better than THAAD in the geographical area protected against IRBM, and higher class of missiles. That second ultra fat solid booster you see gives the first stage aka actual interceptor a huge range and velocity advantage over its peers.

Between the solid stage booster also has TVC guide vanes . So it's super maneuverable with both aerodynamic control from the last set of movable fins and the thrust v with the guide vanes.

 

[Arihant Roy]

So PAD = BMD phase 2

PAD aka Prithvi Air defense vehicle was our very first BMD interceptor. It mated a modified solid second stage to a vanilla solid 1st stage of Prithvi III. It flew even before AAD.

PDV is a brand new missile which has almost the same form factor as PAD . The Asat KV and PDV KV are one and the same. This missile is in production.

Even AAD underwent a thorough upgrade.
The newer improved AAD aka AAD version 2.0 is longer than the original AAD and also sports canards near the nose. It has a 200 + km range.

Is it indias own s 400 ?
Yes or no

 

[Fatalis]

Is it indias own s 400 ?
Yes or no

From my point of view it is not our S-400. It is a strategic system used to counter Strategic targets. It will not be used to kill fighter aircrafts whereas S-400 can be used for killing fighter aircrafts as well as counter ballistic missiles.

IMO, ERADS will be our true S-400.

I find that PDV is much more compact than the PAD. Also, it is canisterized.

 

[Arihant Roy]

Is it indias own s 400 ?
Yes or no

S-400 40N6 and 48N6 are primarily meant for interception of aircrafts . So the 400 km ranged missile has only a 60 km range against ballistic missiles. S-400 has a secondary role against BM .

But AD-1 and AD-2 are purpose built missiles developed from the outset for interception of KV and missiles with speeds upto 7.7 km/sec both within and outside the atmospheres.

This is THE MRBM IRBM ICBM killer.

I suspect the ICBM part but if it can achieve that then it will be amazing.

Also, IMO there is little need to develop an anti-ICBM system as no adversary of ours will use it against us. May be it can be used against SLBM.
