Well, Americans' ESSEM missile which was developed to handle Russian supersonic cruise missiles (Mach 3) has Mach 4 max speed. Our India friends believe that a missile with Mach 2 speed can handle hypersonic ballistic missile, interesting.

MRSAM has quoted Mach 3 speed.

CNS says the plan for Vikrant includes LCA-N, does that mean there is a chance of some production LCA-N being ordered (in very limited numbers)

There's old news abt navy will order 8 LCA!

It’s a step in the right direction. STOBAR isn’t the end of the world and can be mitigated

Still ski jump limits the range and payload an aircraft can carry, If Vikrant(that is we must be always ready to) is to carry out strike missions it would need that range and delivery

Today I got to know from a famous keyboardist that a interceptor missile chases a target missile.
