India Friday successfully test- fired a home-made supersonic interceptor missile off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa, defence officials said.
Director of the test range S.P. Dash said “The interceptor directly hit the target and destroyed it.”
The indigenous Advanced Air Defense (AAD) interceptor missile was fired from Wheeler Island off the state coast near Dhamra in Bhadrak district, about 170 km from the Orissa state capital of Bhubaneswar, a defence official said.
It successfully destroyed an incoming ballistic missile – a modified variant of the Prithvi fired from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur on sea in Balasore district, about 70 km away from Wheeler Island.
“The missile successfully intercepted a surface-to-surface target missile — a modified version of ‘Prithvi’ missile — which was fired first around 10:30 a.m. from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur,” another official said.
The test-firing was part of India’s plan to deploy a reliable two-layer ballistic missile defense system.
India last year conducted a successful test of its ballistic missile defense system when it destroyed an “enemy” ballistic missile with an interceptor missile over the Bay of Bengal off Orissa coast
Still India is far away from Pakistan in Missile Technology
Get your country out of bankruptcy first… then try to compete.. this is deterance against crazy rule hungry crazy army generals who has been couping pakistan and mentally retarded commies … besides in history of india, they have never attacked any country – Greeks came, Turks came, Mughals came, British came – all got assimiated in India – they all attacked india.. lately 3 times pakistan and once chinese..
now that equates what india is doing may be late but right balance to stupid power crazy country..
besides you should know pakistan has more than 1600 nukes in its arsenal compared to 120 for India 15000 for chinese, 11000 for americans, 14000 for Russians… i wont do the math how many nukes its needed to destroy the whole world
No matter how strong you may try to look, but deep in your innerself, you will always be paranoid by fear of Pakistan! My sincere advice to all the Indians to get out their self induced illusion of so called prosperity & face the real world!
Mr. Zafar Look into your Indian history who invaded Kashmir. Who try to invade Bangladesh but failed. and you are talking about 3 times Pakistani invasion so for your information Pakistan never attacked India. this is the only propaganda from Indian Historians and Army to hide there failure. I think you are Muslim so for your information, if you are taking a free breath in India so its also because of Pakistan because if Indian Hindu would do anything wrong with the Muslims of India so they know that the most of the India will become a part of Pakistan. Remember what they in Gujrat Riots, what they are doing in Kashmir. and what they did when India and Pakistan was apart they killed 1.5 Million innocent people who wanted to shift to Pakistan. Don't look in your Indian Fake History. Just look in international History. I am not Pakistani or Indian but Just i know the truth.
mr please correct ur figs of nukes…1600 is wat China wud have…pak nd i ndia both hav around 90-110 nukes. Furthermore for a ctry like pak or may b india, which is quickly slipping through, this number is more than sufficient.
that is what you think and the rest of pakistanis think..!!!
pakistan missile technology means borrowing and begging from china…..
pak msl tech means u r in range dear! That's wat matters.
& dont let me remind u how u stabbed both iran pak in case of IPI Gas pipeline and went on knees for civ nuc tech from US…huh baat karta hai.
It seems that u are highly influenced by the false propaganda of the Pakistani media and its Army Generals as well as its Politicians,my friend come to India once and you will realize the difference between India and Pakistan.I recently heard that Islamabad gets 7-8 hrs of load-shedding a day,in India even the tier 3 cities don’t have such power shortages!! And as far as missile tech is concerned its very much apparent as to who’s got superior missile tech from the kind of paranoia that the Pakistani establishment suffers from whenever anyone mentions India!I was recently surprised to see know that Pakistani news agencies hold wider debates on issues concerning India than India herself! LOL
congratulations to all
Wasting money; kisse ladne jaana hai, stupidity of wars must stop.
Pakistan has to retaliate.
Yes Pakistanis should respond by accepting the superiority of India and acceding to India!!
please explain wat happend to ur trishul…if u dont know write bak, i'll tell ya. Superiority, my foot.
By God's grace, Pakistan's Air Defence is one of the finest in the world!too bad a modified prithvi won't intimidate us!
yes pakistan Air defence is the best in the world. thats why american drones are daily bombing inside pakistan and US marines was able to fly deep inside pakistan and attack Bin laden even very near to military compound. keep it up pakis….
OMG! Pakistan has got an Air Defense system and even the Pakistani armed forces are unaware of its existence !! What superior tech u guys have got !! My Goood!!
the best defence in the world for its own people destruction? and its own people torture?
My head hangs in shame when i think of Pakistan's Air force. The only successful thing they did lately was the airlifting an unarmed Nawaz Shaif back to the arms of Arabia under order of a dictator called Musharaff
Confused!!!! You believe one country does what it does in the name of self defense, and the other doesn't. Mind you fellow subcontinent dwellers we are one people. Why on earth does one nation over look the troubles of anther's. Are these the philosophy Gandhi left you with, and Jinnah us. we should strive to be better nations. Better human beings!!! The fact that governments are willing to put such efforts into weaponry, should offend us as human beings, yet here we are taking pride in these so called triumphs. Why? we need to think about that first before we start raising our voices in victory. And please understand my tone. It is not of an accusatory nature but more of one who is trying to raise questions. We live in a troubled world and we as people need to ask the right questions so we can reach answers that promote peace, and healthier relationships between nations. We don't need to look outside our nations to see how we discriminate between each other.
pakistan and a better nation million light years away !! india needs to destroy pakistans terrorist and military nexus and another division of pakistan by seperating sindh jinnha commited a crime the time has come to punish Them " JUSTICE COMES ON TIME"
No sane person loves war. So i am guessing not too many sane people alive in this era. Either be India or Pakistan, a lot of innocent people die because of some other peoples' jealousy and show-off.
History has truly taught us nothing if we cant even live peacefully.
Sad reality.
