Without any press release or fanfare, PDV and AAD missile flights have been deployed in National Capital Region. Mumbai will soon get its own flights.
Prithvi Defense Vehicle or PDV forms the exo atmospheric component (80-150 km) of DRDO’s Ballistic Missile Defense Shield phase 1. Advanced Air Defense also known as Ashwin is the endo atmospheric ( upto 25 km ) of BMD. These BMD interceptors can shoot down hostile ballistic missiles with a range upto 3000+ km. This means all ballistic missiles in Pakistan’s Strategic Planning Divisions ‘s inventory ranging from 200 km Abdali, 300 km Ghaznavi to 1500 km+ Ghauri I/II/III and 1500-2500 km Shaheen I/II/III and it’s MRV’d sibling Abadeel can now be intercepted and brought down.
What does this entail ? It means that if in the event of a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, Islamabad were to launch a salvo of nuke tipped Ghauri III and Shaheen III at Delhi , then the Bade mia chote Mia combo of PDV and AAD missiles of our indigenous BMD shield covering National Capital Region will shoot each and every incoming Pak missiles.
So in one effective stroke, India has literally neutralised Pakistan’s nuclear deterrence against Bharat.
Now any Air defense system can of course be saturated by launching more no of missiles than it can simultaneously handle. Well, there are multiple flights of PDV and AAD dispersed across NCR and it’s surrounding areas to tackle such an eventuality. Conversely, greater the No of ballistic missiles that Pakistan has to launch at Delhi in order to ensure that even one goes through, lesser will be the No of nuclear tipped missiles available for targetting other Indian cities and military facilities in India. So no matter how you dice it, deployment of a theatre BMD system in NCR is a win win for India.
This BMD shield is supported by two Very Long Range Tracking Radar or VLRTR sites in Udaipur and to the north of Bhopal. Each of these sites houses the Israeli EL/M 2090 Terra which comprises an UHF band Ultra and a S band Spectra. The Udaipur site can cover whole of Pak, Afghanistan and almost all of Iran. The Bhopal site covers all of TAR , Xinjiang and Northern China. These two sites serve as the eyes and ears of our BMD shield and performs the functions of early warning and high fidelity tracking for missile launch. Besides there are indigenous L band Swordfish radars in and around NCR with a 1500+ m range.
India is among a handful of nations which has designed and developed its own BMD system besides US, Russia , Israel, and China. The BMD program was initiated by DRDO just after Kargil war in 1999 after Atal Bihari Vajpayee asked DRDO to come up with a system to counter Pakistan’s M-11 ballistic missiles.
Phase 2 of the program is currently under development. It has two interceptors AD-1 and AD-2 and is meant to intercept ICBM 5500 + km class of ballistic missiles/RV.
Unlike Mission Shakti, the anti sat test and the very recent Mission Divyastra wherein a MIRV’d capability of Agni 5 was demonstrated, GOI has decided to keep this monumental deployment under wraps. So there isn’t any press release or media reports on this.
These are screengrabs from a video on BDL Kanchanbagh . It shows the integration jig wherein the front and mid sections of PDV missile are laid out .The setup is covered to hide the KV of PDV. Ballistic missile defense program is a strategic program of DRDO Missile complex. Being strategic in nature, hardly any information is released officially or through defense editors of the esteemed dailies like TOI, Hindustan Times, The Statesman, The Hindu, etc.

which makes the Indian defence industry comparable to turkey defence industry 12 billion $ in 2022, while their export component is bigger for now.

Uniformed Dalals were adamant that WhAp/Kestrel has to be amphibious along with 9000 other requirements, but this land-queen, heavy-weight IFV frankenstein is ok for them now ?STRYKERs to be inducted in large numbers! Will be jointly produced in India by a Indo-US JV
Next they'll want to sell us Abrams too, and the Dalals who screamed about Arjun being overweight( after adding mine plough and other extras that afsars demanded ) and will "sink in the sands of the Thar", wo bhi chalega unko
I'm sure with Stryker tank turret variant they'll even smother the Zorawar light tank in the cradle.
