As a result of successful tests two months ago, Indian missile development officials believe their anti-missile system is ready for mass production and deployment.
The system uses two types of interceptors. The Prithvi Air Defense (PAD) missile is the larger of the two and is used for high altitude interception, according to strategypage.com
The short range Advanced Air Defense (AAD) missile is used for low altitude intercepts.
The two missiles, in conjunction with a radar system based on the Israeli Green Pine (used with the Arrow anti-missile missile), provide defense from ballistic missiles fired as far as 5,000 kilometers away. This will provide some protection from Pakistani and Chinese missiles. A third interceptor, the PDV, is a hypersonic missile that can take down missiles as high as 150 kilometers and is still in development. India is the fifth nation to develop such anti-missile technology.
The Indian system has been in development for over a decade. Ten years ago India ordered two Israeli Green Pine anti-ballistic missile radars. The equipment was used six years ago in a successful Indian test, where one ballistic missile was fired at another, incoming, one.
The Israeli Green Pine radar was originally developed for Israel’s Arrow anti-ballistic missile system. Arrow was built, in cooperation with the United States, to defend Israel from Iranian and Syrian ballistic missiles. India has since developed, with Israel, the Swordfish radar, which has similar capabilities to the Green Pine and has been operational for two years. Swordfish is part of a system that integrates data from satellites and other sources in order to detect and track incoming missiles.
The interceptor missiles and the fire control systems were designed and built in India, although more Israeli technology may have been purchased to speed things along. India wanted to buy the entire Israeli Arrow system but the United States refused to allow the sale. The Indian ABM system was supposed to become operational in two years. But the developers believe it is ready now and are asking parliament for money to start building systems to defend places like New Delhi.
China and Pakistan could only defeat the Indian ABM defenses by firing more missiles at the same time than the Indians could handle. It’s also possible to equip warheads with decoys in an attempt to get the interceptor missile to miss. Israel has technology designed to deal with these decoys and India can probably purchase that. But against an overwhelming number of incoming missiles, some are going to get through.
Damn Indians, now we have to develop this $hit too on top of developing missles that defy this. You have started another race!
obvious truth.
kio nhi hum 50 missel fire kara ga kio tu laga ga na
Bhai jaan, hosh me to hai aap?
Gulli dande ka khel hai kya?
" China and Pakistan could only defeat the Indian ABM defenses by firing more missiles at the same time than the Indians could handle. "
China can alleast tolerate the damage that would caused by counter Indian attack if it may nuke us Indians but Pakistan would be wiped out from the map of the world and would turn into grave yard.
As we wiped out West Pakistan in 1971 and made it Bangladesh, the same will happen if you guys dare to nuke us for we are not wearing bangles in our hands…
Pakistan has a sufficient stockpile to wipe India out, or at least those parts of India that are under the Indian government's control and that's only 9 out of your 29 states, we don't have any problem with the Naxalites who rule most of your country. The Pak army has the courage to fight insurgents at least while your army and police get slaughtered like sheep with faulty equipment. So stop worrying about Pakistan, you've got bigger problems, so I suggest you readjust your bangles.
Mr. Hassan same Indian army wiped your 5th Northern light Infantry in Kargil by using its controversial Bofors guns. Mr. You seem to be fan of Zaid Hamid just few months back few terrorists raided your PNS Mehran base torched 2 Naval Aircrafts and your army was not able to stop them from doing so, few yrs back terrorts blasted your GHQ.. so what the hell you are barking and boasting of your nuclear stockpile, Pakistan cannot survive in any nuclear exchange and remember one thing India is a Nuclear triad Pakistan is not….The reason army is not involved to counter Naxalites because our police is enough to do that.
hahahahahha wat a joke
i m nt paki .but indian plz staye away 4m pak cus ay bht rammii nyyyy gggg
Saudi Arabia can help Pakistan to build strong military by increasing the investment in the missile tecnology
To the guy talking about the arms race with respect to missile defence shield…..dont you think Pakistan would have raced ahead of India if they had the knowhow or the resources??
Here we go again —— to both sides just read the bloody news and please keep your filth in your own head
Good Now i can spray metal paint on my pigeons and let them fly on Dooms Day
are we goin to stop fighting.back then britons and now americans are using divide and rule….cant u see that?
one day Pakistan and India has to embrace eachother so better start spreading love not war….love from pakistan to their indian brothers!!! we all in Pakistan love them as we did before 1947 !! Together we rise …..Ameen
Kanwar I like your comment's, but seems India is more interested to become a Asian tiger (with the support of USA) than a peaceful nation. On other side, India does not have good relation with its neighbor countries, not even single country.
What I believe both countries (Pak & India) can not afford war. Neither India has courage to attack Pakistan, nor Pakistan has intention to do so. I think both countries realize now that time has changed and both have nukes, thats why no big war was fought after 71.
Pakistan has its own war on terror engagements and India is also countering internal freedom moments.
Live and let live.
Thanks. Allah bless us.
you kaffir loving traitor
