But I have seen them discussing on pdf that Ababeel is their ultimate counter to S400 and our homemade AAD/PAD air defense system. Don't you think that when they can make MIRV capable missile then warheads will not be any issue? Similarly I never heard Agni series being MIRV capable. If this is true then I am really happy....
Man then also tell them HERE SCIENTISTS ARE Discussing......No Building weapons such that to destroy their rockets the MOMENT THEY ARE LAUNCHED,if you want an example then it is ASAT, I know NOT THAT MOMENT weapon but in that direction only.
Pakistan made missile??? Now that's a news for me.
Anyone can fart from brain. BTW, its PDV what's designed for missiles with high trajectory.
1. Considering the potential number of warheads both India and Pakistan will have in next 20 years, nothing could be better for your enemy than you putting multiple warheads on one missile. You just narrow down their target list. So, both countries won't choose MIRV under the current situation.
S 400 is not a proper BMD system but it does have a capability to shoot down SRBM & some reports suggest that an iskander was shot down in front of IAF evaluation team in Russia.
S-400 has proved that it can handle short - medium range missiles which are the most possible types of missiles targeting India. Except UK and Frances, all other nuclear powers don't need missiles >3000 KM for India.
Chinese has successfully done the user trial of intercepting a missile flying at around 10M.
USA has plenty of military bases in Middle East and India Ocean from which their nuclear submarines/bombers can strike India just outside the door.
Take the Print opinions with a grain of salt. They are leftist Luytentites. Let another source verify the claims.India’s ballistic missile shield ready, IAF & DRDO to seek govt nod to protect Delhi

New Delhi: India’s indigenous Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) programme is complete, and the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) are now working on a proposal to seek the government’s nod to install the missile shield for the national capital, ThePrint has learnt.
The BMD, along with the Russian S-400 Triumf air defence system, aims to secure the country from all kinds of incoming missiles, including nuclear, and flying objects.
“The BMD programme has been completed. All tests carried so far have been successful, including the radars and missiles. The IAF, which is responsible for the country’s air defence, and the DRDO, which has developed the system, will now move a joint proposal for the government’s clearance,” a top government official told ThePrint.
The official, however, didn’t reveal much about other details of the programme.
The successful test of the anti-satellite (A-SAT) missile last March was a big boost to the BMD programme. India’s leap in space with the A-SAT test is especially significant because inter-continental ballistic missiles like China’s Dongfeng series travel through space before re-entering Earth’s atmosphere to hit the target.

‘BMD is for Delhi’
Asked whether the Ministry of Defence would be the nodal authority for approving the installation of the missile shield, a government source said the matter comes directly under the Prime Minister’s Office.
Once the permission is granted, the source added, it will take three to four years to put the shield in place because production of the required systems would take time.
Asked if the shield is not meant for Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, the top government official quoted above said, “BMD is for Delhi. It is up to the government to decide which other cities will get it.”
The official added that the BMD programme was envisaged for the national capital only.
What this BMD programme is all about
India’s BMD programme was launched in 1999 after Pakistan’s maiden nuclear test in 1998 and China’s leaps in this sphere.
The BMD works on two levels — endo-atmospheric (within Earth’s atmosphere) and exo-atmospheric (the space stretching beyond Earth’s atmosphere).
While phase one deals with destroying incoming missiles at endo-atmospheric level, phase two works on the same at exo-atmospheric level.
India’s BMD arsenal consists of a Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) missile to intercept incoming missiles at a range of about 80 km in altitude and an Advanced Air Defence (AAD) missile for altitudes of 15-25 km.
Pakistan had last year claimed that it has the capabilities to counter the BMD.
Asked about this, another government source said the BMD is a state-of-the-art defence system with very unique features.

That American system is NASAMS-2. It is a $1 billion dollars deal. IMO to make US happy after S400 deal.
Patriot 3 was offered but not considered as it is far inferior to S-400.
Even USA doesn't dare to claim that when they have whole ocean to provide warning time.
The most important key point of a missile defence system is its own capability of detecting and tracking incoming missiles, which the India system is facing the worst situation: both her adversaries are too damn close.
Instead, how to defend this defensive network is still a big headache for any country, especially for missile defense system which is so much relying on early warning radar.
No, I am criticizing the work done by Indian scientists. I am laughing at the brainless words from Indian fanboys who are actually humiliating these scientists's brilliant work.
None of your business. Criticize your country, the flag you display.
They don't claim that because they have an extremely large area to monitor, with multiple adversaries spread out unevenly across the world (India doesn't have this problem -- with the exception of China's 2nd strike capability) making tracking and detection a herculean task.
The "closeness" of India's adversaries (China & pakistan) isn't necessarily the Indian system "facing the worst situation".
Not necessarily; because of the above reason.
True.
