Rare look of THD-1955 radar (my best guess) of Indian Air Force IAF

 

[AmoghaVarsha]

Which As was given to us by a friendly nation during this china crisis? Any idea?

 

[Lancer]

How effective could they be with upgrades?

 

[Lancer]

Do we have any description/infographic of how our layered AD systems will look after arrival of new purchases like S400?

 

[rone]

upgraded sa125 ml my look like this


but still am against keeping ussr relics and go for Indian SAM systems

 

[patriots]

Bdw I can confirm that osa ak missile system and pechora missile upgradation is going on

How effective will they be post upgradation? Serious threats to enemy fighters? Nuisance value?

They are last stage of defence....India's first second stage of defence are very capable and strong systems....like mrsam...akash ..qrsam ...spyder ...s400
And their upgradation cost is low
But they were to be replaced by akash...still why they are keeping those systems......a question for me. Too........

I did some basic googling, a lot of the systems (Akash, QRSAM, MRSAM, SPYDER) seem to have similar/overlapping ranges.

Is the goal to basically have S400 as longest range, Pechora/Tunguska/AA guns as shortest range, and all the other systems in between the two?

Ya the more systems you have ,the more secure you are
Again our all ad platforms will be under a single command.....
We have akash ,mrsam ,spyder ,osa ak,pechora ..tungsuka .....etc ...soon s400 and BMD system too......

DRDO REVEALS 350 KM XRSAM MISSILE DETAILS
Hyderabad: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the first time on Friday revealed the details of the XRSAM-IAF (eXtra Long Range Surface to Air Missile) to be developed by the Hyderabad-based Defence Research and Development Laboratories (DRDL).


The DRDO’s website stated that XRSAM-IAF is being developed for the Indian Air Force (IAF) as part of Missiles and Strategic Systems (MSS), and added that it will play a vital role in the missile defence system of the country. DRDO said that the XRSAM air missile weapon system will also be able to engage stealth fighters and ballistic missile in the terminal stage.

“The IAF has projected a requirement to induct Long Range Surface to Air Missile System to neutralise Aircraft at Extended Ranges of 250 km, Sea Skimming Anti-Ship Missiles, AWACS at ranges of 350 km, stealth fighters and ballistic missile in the terminal stage. The entire system shall be designed for transportability. IAF has accepted the configuration,” said DRDO on its website.

The XRSAM air missile weapon will have a range of 350 km and will also come in canister-based, transportable truck-based launcher system.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation will begin trials in the next three years.

“We need something on these lines, but the missile is only part of the capability. For the ranges mentioned (250-350 km) it is unlikely that a missile will be able to carry its own sensors. A missile is not physically big enough to house the power required for such long-range. The missile will have to integrate with a ground-based long-range detection and tracking system. It may have the autonomous capability for ‘terminal guidance’ (last 30-40 km or so),” defence historian KS Nair told TOI.

Do we have any air defense system to counter a ballistic missile in terminal phase? Just like thaad.

Yes. AAD and PDV.

It all depends on the range of the incoming ballistic missiles .

Mrsam will also be able to intercept TBM . Will bee in the class od PAC-3 MSE.

Bro aad and pdv are indo and exo atmosphere air defense system. Useful for destroying missile in boost and midcourse phase. Mrsam is more useful against enemy aircraft and somehat cruise missile. S 400 can be used to destroy TBM since it is twice spped of thaad but it's not proven system against TBM
