@Kinetic-I thought that the Barak-NG was for the Navy and that the IAF would receive the Surface launched Python and Derby MR-SAM(SPYDER) system!Was this mere speculation or did this "rumor" have any weight?

SPYDER is a Short Range or a Point Defence Quick reaction SAM if I am not mistaken.
New Recruit
Actually SPYDER is a medium range SAM but not point defence. Its a quick reaction air defence missile system developed for low to medium altitude targets like fighters, choppers and cruise missiles. Its consists of active radar guided Derby missile and IR guided Python-5 missile. So its difficult to escape.
I thought missile would be fired, but it didn't
if IAF get derby missile along with SPYDER, then what you have said is corrent..otherwise not..
Because they are different. If everything is on schedule than IAF should have got SPYDER already. It should have joined IAF in March 2011 while they even not started the testing of SR-SAM. It will take years. The SR-SAM will be more advanced than SPYDER.Even if this is a quick reaction air defence system then what is the need of indo-french maitri quick reaction air defence system???
wat is it maximum detection range of the radar???
any official date for second test ??
