Ok I take it but why Barak 8 was not been placed near pak border

It was not inducted then



Bdw.its Feb 27 ..
India has Russian jamming pods ...Israel jamming pods and Indian jamming pods ....
And India regularly test them agnaist ads

The news is out that IAF is going for 244 L&T Sudarshan CIWS guns. IA should in best case follow and choose the same. The initial RFP from IA is out and they are looking for 220 guns. This initial contract will be followed by a larger request to meet the total requirement of about 938 guns.

As I have mentioned earlier, an indigenous S-400 class surface to air missile system is very much under development.

Without any TOT from Russia, are we able to build an indigenous system similar to S-400?

Isn't it too high a jump from Akash system to something like S-400?

Not being pessimistic but to me it sounds too good to be true.

Don't think it's a big deal as we have Barak 8 and multiple BMD systems which are nothing but only medium and long range SAMs.
XR-SAM is more of an equivalent of LR-SAM than S400.

Superb. Which is that Desi system? Ad1 and Ad2?

Superb. Which is that Desi system? Ad1 and Ad2?

ERSAM(Range: 150km)
XRSAM(Range: 250km(fighter jets), 350km(AEW&C, transport, refuellers)).
A single launcher will have 2 each for a total of 4 missiles per launcher, similar layout to S-300, S-400

Quite easily, DRDO has pretty much mastered all the aspects of a long range surface to air missile from the development of MRSAM, Akash-NG, AD-1, PDV, AAD.
Even systems like AAD, AD-1 can intercept fighter jets at long ranges, and BMD systems are required to be extremely precise given that hit-to-kill interception is pretty much the standard for ballastic missile interceptions.
All the building blocks for a ultra long range SAM system are already there.

He's talking about an indigenous SAM similar to S400. AD-1 & AD-2 are ICBM interceptors. New missiles will be either SAMs based on them or ER-SAM & XR-SAM with their upgraded variants.

India set to join elite league with indigenous 400-km long range missile defence system
In a significant development aimed at bolstering self-reliance in the defence sector, India is currently in the process of indigenously developing a cutting-edge three-layered long-range surface-to-air missile (LRSAM) defence system. This advanced system is designed to effectively neutralise enemy aircraft and missiles at striking distances of approximately 400 km.

The proposal for this ambitious project has reached an advanced stage within the Defence Ministry and is anticipated to soon get clearance, according to ANI.

The project's estimated cost stands at over $2.5 billion, representing a substantial investment in India's defence capabilities. Once realised, this indigenous LRSAM defence system will position India among an elite group of nations with the capacity to efficiently engage and eliminate hostile aerial threats at such significant ranges, thereby fortifying national security.

Distinguished by its three-tiered structure, the surface-to-air missile system will possess the ability to target hostile forces at varying distances, making it a versatile and formidable defensive asset.
Additionally, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance air defence capabilities, India has been collaborating with Israel in developing the medium-range surface-to-air missile system (MRSAM), which exhibits an impressive range of over 70 km.

The indigenous LRSAM system, however, is expected to surpass the MRSAM in terms of capabilities, ranking on par with the formidable S-400 air defence system obtained from Russia, currently deployed along the China and Pakistan borders.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has played a pivotal role in achieving significant strides in air defence weaponry, catering to both ground-based and warship-based systems.

Following the initiation of the LRSAM project by the DRDO, the Indian Navy renamed its indigenous LRSAM system as MRSAM.

India has already integrated the S-400 air defence systems, capable of targeting threats at a maximum distance of 400 km, within its armed forces.

Moreover, these systems possess the versatility to neutralise adversaries at shorter ranges as well. Notably, China also employs the S-400 air defence system, having deployed it along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) shared with India.

Nevertheless, India's forthcoming LRSAM system is anticipated to match or surpass the capabilities of its Chinese counterpart, reinforcing India's position in the region.

At present, three squadrons of the S-400 have been successfully deployed and operationalised in India. The delivery schedule for the remaining two units remains uncertain.

India’s DRDO Expands Extended Range Air Defence System (ERADS) with New Interceptor Missile

India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is taking significant strides in enhancing the country’s air defence capabilities with the expansion of its Extended Range Air Defence System (ERADS). Project Kusha known as Internally by DRDO will see latest addition to the program which will be a new Interceptor missile that will significantly boost India’s aerial defence capabilities, equivalent to the Russian S-400 Air Defence system that India has already acquired.

Initially, the ERADS Air Defence system was designed to include two Interceptor missiles. The first was the ERSAM (Extended Range Surface to Air Missile) Interceptor Air Defence missile, based on the MR-SAM Air Defence system which is a collaborative effort between India and Israel. The ERSAM is equipped with an additional booster stage, enabling it to intercept aerial targets from sub-sonic cruise missiles to fighter jets with an impressive range of up to 150km.

The second Interceptor missile, known as XR-SAM (eXtra-long Range Surface to Air Missile), was designed to have an extended range of 250km against fighter-sized targets and an astounding 350km against force multipliers such as AWACS and Flight Refueling Aircraft.

Building upon this already robust air defence system, the DRDO has decided to introduce a third Interceptor missile, further enhancing India’s capabilities. This new Interceptor missile will be based on India’s Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) program and will have the capability to engage aerial targets like fighter jets at a remarkable range of up to 400km. Additionally, the new Interceptor missile will also have limited capabilities to neutralize Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM) and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM), adding another layer of defence against potential threats.

The inclusion of this new Interceptor missile will bolster India’s air defence preparedness, allowing the nation to respond effectively to a wide range of airborne threats. With its extended range and advanced capabilities, India’s air defence forces will gain a formidable edge in safeguarding its airspace.
