‘India might not be able to defend itself from Pakistani missiles’

[Saffron Bandit]

Can you please list the indian missiles that actually work other then Russian Bramos? Just for the sake of an argument.

 

[salarsikander]

There is nothing to boast about. Even India knows it's a defence system. You throw 10 stones 4 will hit but 6 will be stopped thus minimizing the destruction. This is what we have built it for.

jahil posts like these are so boring and full of BS that it is worthless even to respond but then have to clarify that it is a technological advancement and can be used for landing on an asteroid.

It is high time that Pakistan should open it's dictionary of english to urdu conversion and see the word Technology, it obviously does not mean Jehad!!

Reported for inulting islamic sentiments by mocking jehad @Oscar @waz @Horus

Again assuming She when had been tested upon was not flying at its lowest of 5 meters altitude?

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

The Barak has been tested successfully against Brahmos. Not to mention, Barak-1 can easily stop Harpoon.

Yes but under what conditions? And on top of that no one in the world really knows what Pakistan's REAL missile capabilities are as Pakistan keeps them well hidden. Case in point is May 1998. india and most of the world were really convinced that Pakistan did not have a nuke capability and were completely taken aback and shocked when Pakistan finally tested it's nuke devices. Most independent analysts suspect that Pakistan probably has more than sufficient counter-measures to overcome indians abm systems. The indian military high command know this which is why india couldn't attack Pakistan after mumbai 26/11/2008.

It's all good as long as they can do their job. Israeli systems are always tested in the most abusive conditions.

Yes, Pakistan has superior missile technology compared to the Russians and the US.

India has known Pak to possess nukes since Rajiv Gandhi's time. Pak's nuke tests were knee jerk and came as no surprise. Ever since India tested nukes, India's become a global sweetheart. Ever since Pak tested nukes, Pak's become a pariah state. So you decide if it's been good for you.

No, Pak has no countermeasures against Indian SAMs. If you did you would have to operate the F-35 as the bare minimum. The F-16 can't even fly over SAMs from the 2000s. Even the Israelis believe their more sophisticated F-15s and F-16s are more or less obsolete compared to new SAM threats.

Most indian analysts pre-May 1998 were oblivious to Pakistan having nukes and even advocated indian attacking Pakistan with nuclear weapons and "teaching" Pakistan a leason. So your assumption is wrong.

Your talk of indian military prowess is very doubtful. Where was the indian military power after mumbai 26/11/2008?

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Our scientists have and always had it figured out.

Their interceptors will only intercept a few obsolete missiles.

It'll be very hard shooting this baby out of the sky.

It was in no shape to fight Pakistan in Gen. Singhs words.

That was the point!

ABM apart, how is it going about fixing Su30s mid flight auto ejection issues?

The BMD shield is not meant to intercept cruise missiles like Babur. Its meant only for ballistic threats. So, showing off Babur is this thread is not exactly a great idea. For Babur and Raad, we would be using the Barak-1, Barak-8, S-300, S-400 etc. Remember, unlike ballistic missiles, cruise missiles are stealthy, but slow. Shooting them down is not the issue, finding and tracking them is. And for that, we've got Radars like swordfish and AWACS like Phalcon, which are among the best in the business..

ISLAMABAD: A nuclear expert from Moscow says despite heavy investments in developing anti-ballistic missile systems, India may not be able to fully defend itself in a conflict from strikes by Pakistani missiles.

“Even in 10 years and with the huge budgets that India plans to spend on the development of nuclear weapons and capabilities, it is difficult to imagine it will be able to defend its territory from possible strikes from Pakistan in case of conflict,” said Petr Topychkanov, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Moscow Centre’s Non-Proliferation Programme.

Talking about ‘Non-Proliferation and Strategic Stability in South Asia: A Russian Perspective’ at the Strategic Vision Institute (SIV) which is an Islamabad-based think tank specialising in nuclear issues, Mr Topychkanov said that despite largescale cooperation between India and Israel for the development of a ballistic missile defence system and Indian efforts for acquiring S-400 defence systems from Russia, “India is very far from developing any system that could effectively defend itself from a Pakistani missile”.

Last Sunday India tested an Advanced Air Defence (AAD) interceptor missile and is working on developing a multi-layer ballistic missile defence system and Pakistan has expressed concerns over the test.

It is feared that the development of anti-ballistic missile systems may give Indian strategists a false sense of security when contemplating military action against Pakistan with the belief that they can take care of an incoming missile.

The possession of such a system could also increase pre-emption tendencies among Indian military planners. Pakistan experts also feel that with the short missile flight time between India and Pakistan, it will be impossible for intercepting incoming missiles.

Talking about India’s candidature for the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) Mr Topychkanov said the world will be cautious about India.

“The nuclear waiver given to Indian became a very important part of the lesson for the international community because Delhi did not give a lot in exchange, it didn’t change policies and approaches,” he said.

When it was getting the waiver from NSG following an India-US Civilian Nuclear Agreement, India had committed that it will separate its civilian and military nuclear facilities in a phased manner, place civil nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards, sign and adhere to IAEA’s additional protocol, continue its unilateral moratorium on nuclear testing, work with the US for the conclusion of the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT), refrain from the transfer of enrichment and reprocessing technology to states that do not have them and support international efforts to limit their spread, introduce comprehensive export control legislation to secure nuclear material and adhere to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and NSG guidelines.

Mr Topychkanov said it would not be the same this time because India will have to show “serious progress in relations with IAEA, UN and the international nuclear community”.

Meanwhile, also claiming to have sound credentials for becoming an NSG member, Pakistan won rare acknowledgement from the US for its “significant efforts to harmonise its strategic trade controls with those of the NSG and other multilateral export control regimes” on Tuesday at a meeting of the Pak-US Security, Strategic Stability, and Nonproliferation (SSS&NP) Working Group.

Talking about Russia’s policy for strategic stability in South Asia, the Mr Topychkanov said Moscow is interested in regional strategic stability and is working on avoiding crisis in the area.

He said despite longstanding strategic partnership with India, Russia was developing relations with both Islamabad and Delhi.

SVI President Dr Zafar Iqbal Cheema expressed concern about the deteriorating strategic balance in the region because of India’s acquisition of conventional and nuclear weapons and said such developments seriously impact Pakistan’s interests.

It is widely known that India is not in a position to defend.

Incorrect. The world has known about Pak nukes since the early 90s.

Your talk of indian military prowess is very doubtful. Where was the indian military power after mumbai 26/11/2008?

The reaction to the 2008 attack couldn't be solved with military prowess, it can only be solved with diplomatic prowess. We are in the process of turning the world against you first. The war can happen next, in case it is necessary. It's Chanakya 101.

Yeah...you have turned a lot of our allies against us.

For example, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China etc have been made to switch their alliances by all great chankya inspired indians..
