What's new

Ababeel SSM - Pakistan gains MIRV technology.

One more time Pakistan levels the nuclear strategic playing field (again) for a fraction of the cost.


How much did India spend on trying to buy air defence systems to intercept Pakistani missiles from 2004?
 
Alhamdolilah

1. solid fuel then
2. three stage, long range then
3. cruise babur 1
4. Neutron bomb war headed nasar missile --- death of cold doctrine.
5. third generation smaller high tech plutonium war head
6. hydrogen bomb
7. smarter shaheen 1a and 3 with very small re entry vehicle with trajectories to redirect
8. babur 2
9. completion of nuclear triad babur 3 from submarine.
10. MIRV technology---S400 ABM sys. costing billions $ to india --DEAD (can not counter shaheen 1a shaheen 3 and now Ababeel)

Shukar ul Alhamdollilah

Thoughts?

I think people need to research what MIRV technology is. The interceptor can only contain one missile while the incoming MIRV contains multiple warheads. Besides, decoys will be used so the interceptor simply can't know what warhead to go for. This is totally a massive game changer. To date no country has demonstrated an ability to take out MIRV technology, if I am not mistaken.

There are MIRV-killer warheads too, Falcon. Like the American Multi-Object Kill Vehicle, designed to fit an SM-3 interceptor. This is an older version. The new version is still classified:

Penetration aids like kilometer long chaff spools, decoy or dummy warheads, Mylar balloons, radar jammers... they're all tried and test methods and they work, but they aren't fool proof and advanced interceptors have the means to discriminate between live warheads and dummies via various metrics such as heat, weight or filling.

That said, most interceptors designed to knock out MIRV missiles try to do so before separation, to make an interception and total destruction of the missile easier and more complete. GBI tries to do this at ranges upwards of 3000km and beyond, long before the MIRV separates from its bus.

MIRVs and MaRVs, as found on the retired Pershing II:

Complicate the process, but don't make the missile infallible either. There are countermeasures and tactics available to a nation to defeat MIRVs.

2 things ababeel 1 has done:

1) it makes Indias s-400 purchase from russia absolutely pointless now and a very expensive mistake
2) this is the cold war doctrine killer. this end all talk of the cold start

another L for Modi
