India to have shield from missiles of 5,000 km range

[mirage2K]

China has an answer to the India missile shield :

China could penetrate US with new huge missile

It might be time to sweep the cobwebs out of that old nuclear bunker at the bottom of the garden after reports in state-run Chinese media confirmed that the People’s Liberation Army is actively developing an intercontinental missile capable of penetrating US defences.

News first emerged of the planned ‘super missile’ from defence industry bible Jane’s Defence Weekly last week, according to South China Morning Post.

It apparently claimed that a Dongfeng-41 (DF-41) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), had been fired in testing last month by the PLA’s Second Artillery Corps.

This third-generation missile, US military sources told Jane’s, contain multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs) – effectively multiple warheads – meaning they would be almost impossible for current US defences to take down.

A report in Global Times, the populist sister title of Communist Party mouthpiece the People’s Daily, apparently confirmed such a rocket was in development, quoting local military expert Wei Guoan.

However, he denied it had been fired already in testing and claimed it was not a DF-41.

Recognising the potential threat from China and North Korea, the US is strategically ramping up its military presence in Asia, after years of focus on the Middle East during the Bush administration.

It’s planning to increase its anti-missile defences in the region which could include extra tracking radar, land-based intercept vehicles and missile-defence ships, according to a Wall Street Journal article.

India is working on technology to destroy enemy missiles in the launch phase itself...so your MIRV's are no good and will explode in China's airspace itself

In 2012 DRDO completes Increase of Green Pine Radars ( Swordfish ) range 800KM to 1600KM ..

Post the link that they have achieved that range and in that case also 1600 is less than 2000.

We are not going to war with China in near future. We have greater interest than war. These are meant for some of our other neighbors.

Post the link that they have achieved that range and in that case also 1600 is less than 2000.

From the link below:

Under the first phase of the programme the Indian BMD system would develop the capability to intercept incoming missiles with a range of 2000-km. Saraswat said, ''It will take five tests (three already conducted) to validate BMD capabilities to destroy ballistic missiles of 2,000 km range. We will then work on interceptor missiles that can engage aggressor missiles with longer ranges.''

Did it for you
Small correction, not 2012 its 2011

Excerpt from your link itself.

The interceptor missiles
use an indigenized Russian
radio frequency seeker and the fire control radar is French. The
LRTR currently has a range of
600 km, which the DRDO plans
to upgrade to 1,500 km by
2011.

No info about that capability achieved till date.

@sancho any input about range of Indian LRTR ??

India's BMD is Pakistan centric.

And China transferring MRIV technology won't change much as Pakistan still lacks strategic depth.

Yup got that one, I was about to edit post meanwhile connection got reset

Have you came across the word "CRITIC" in your life till now ??

You mean we must say ''Kudos to DRDO for rolling out plans after plans and then announcing tarik pe tarik for completion of those projects .''??

You mean " CRITIC " Who can say any thing and get away with it ?

Swordfish LRTR in 2012 has been upgraded for Tracking missile upto 1,500 km , so i trust Indian planners and military official who know what DRDO is selling them . when BMD P-1 will be deployed it will be Indian military officials who will be handling them and not DRDO .

so what do you want.. keep silence like China and hide all the failures and don't talk about future plans....

 

[indoPunjabi]

They must Install that system in Delhi ASAP

India is working on technology to destroy enemy missiles in the launch phase itself...so your MIRV's are no good and will explode in China's airspace itself

any link about such a technology. Because even US have no such technology..

 

[President]

any link about such a technology. Because even US have no such technology..

why you want to copy it or what??

 

[faithfulguy]

why you want to copy it or what??

Sure, if such a technology exist, it would be the first of its kind.

 

[mirage2K]

any link about such a technology. Because even US have no such technology..

The technology don't exist yet...India is planning to develop a laser based weapon system as part of its defense to intercept and destroy missiles soon after they are launched towards the country. DRDO's Air Defence Programme Director V. K. Saraswat says its ideal to destroy a ballistic missile carrying nuclear or conventional warheads in its boost phase. Saraswat further added that it will take another 10–15 years for the premier defence research institute to make it usable on the ground

Wait till end June ..Sure may be A Journal Report

You mean Sabotaging with Special Forces
