INDIA’S IMPREGNABLE BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE INTERCEPTOR SHIELD IS A STRONG MESSAGE TO PAKISTAN

[Cool_Soldier]

Still you can not save yourself from MIRVs

Pakistan missiles are still big threat to India.

 

[deckingraj]

My reply was to Abingdonboy comment in which he said India is no longer feeling threatened from Pakistan and all BMD are meant for some other reason. The only other reason could be china which has far more sophisticated missiles than the Prithvi target missile India uses for BMD tests.
Even Pakistan has faster and better missiles than Prithvi target vehicle.

Sir, the point is simple. Pakistan is not longer priority in terms of defense build up. If you look at the toys that we are fielding as of now, you probably will get the picture. Now that is not = Pakistan is not even a concern...The matter of fact and will remain for a considerable time is -> there is far more probability of having a full blown conflict/limited conflict on our western border than eastern....
Now coming to BMD then any missile of defense against it will start from lower range and then move into extended range, no?? b/w no denying that planners in India are far more worried about Pakistani missiles toasting our sorry a$$ than Chinese ones...

This is very unrealistic. First of all,no country in this world can protect it's borders against cruise missiles.even if you have thousands of interceptors,the probability of hitting will remain high.even if india manage to cover entire border with interceptors,it has no solution against cruise missile strikes from sea.massive coast of India is a disadvantage.we can always find space.it doesn't matter how many interceptors they install.MIRV is just one technology.Pakistan is working on multiple technologies.Pakistan also working on interceptors. With sea strike,chances of hitting long range targets are always high.

You are placing your best Air Defence systems on our border. You are placing 1000 Tanks on our border most of your Armed Forces and Para Military are deployed on our border. Dude we are your number one concern because you very well know you can't afford to mess with China.

Clearly you haven't seen the land boundary between China and India.

So in your illusion, when Pakistan army is mobilizing with their manga attacks, India stays still until everything is done. Frozen. Like in a RTS game?.

The same Pakistan which is under 100% satellite coverage. Where the entire army is concentrated on the Punjab belt? Where the country was under Indian Gen 1 and Gen 2 missiles?. The same country with the naval fleet similar to the Indian Coast guard?

Go on.. Please continue.

Based on geographical realities.

How do you define the "Geographic realities"?

if Pakistan isn't india's strategic concern anymore then what are the geographic realities to deploy the main Air Defense Systems? and why now when as per you say Pakistan isn't it's Strategic Concern anymore? Then why india's MTB's on Pakistan border? then just why now in the history, india is planing for cold start strategy while again Pakistan is not it's strategic concern? and when last time I heard and yes it was truly heard india's cold start was purely for Pakistan and not for any other country in the region.

In a way such actions telling the exact opposite that Pakistan is and will remain the strategic concern always and it is other thing someone don't want to accept.

In mythical (realities) you can say that but in geographical realities it isn't true

We move away from Pakistan . However seeing our developments Pakistany tried to seek their relevance . BMD is such a shock to Pakistan that it take long time to recover , till then we would place s 400 and iron dome equivalent to future shock . And this will continue .

Until India develops the capability to intercept IRBMs at its midcourse stage, BMD will always play a backstage role to India's nuclear deterrence. Test data from the THAAD, SM-3, and even midcourse interceptors like the GBI show that beyond intercepting stray or accidental launches, BMD networks do little to tip the balance of power with respect to nuclear parity.

India has also joined the select group of 5 nations–US, Russia and Israel–that have such a system

Giving India a rare and incredible capability, the DRDO has successfully test fired the indigenous interceptor missile Advanced Area Defense (AAD). This was the second test-firing of the missile system in less than a month. As PM Narendra Modi has said, with this India has demonstrated its ballistic missile defense capability. India has also joined the select group of five nations – US, Russia, and Israel – that have such a system.

The milestone ballistic missile defense system provides a two-layered shield – ‘Exo’ and ‘Endo’. What this effectively means is that the system provides protection both against ballistic missiles that are outside (Exo) as well as inside (Endo) the earth’s atmosphere. In the March 1 test, the Endo-atmospheric missile, capable of intercepting incoming targets at an altitude of 15 to 25 kms successfully destroyed the incoming missile. All the mission objectives were successfully met, says DRDO.

The interceptor is a 7.5-meter long single stage solid rocket-propelled guided missile. It is equipped with a navigation system, a hi-tech computer and an electro-mechanical activator. The interceptor missile has its own mobile launcher, secure data link for interception, independent tracking and homing capabilities and sophisticated radars. The interceptor destroyed an incoming Prithvi missile during the test. On February 11, an incoming hostile ballistic missile target was successfully intercepted at a high altitude. This was done above 50 km of the earth’s atmosphere by an Exo-atmospheric interceptor missile. The system has been tested in the past, but has failed many times.

Shield Against Pakistan
Avinash Chander, Former DRDO chief is of the view that the indigenous system will help India on the western front. “This is a huge achievement for India. This interceptor missile defense system gives us multi-layered capability, both for medium and short range missiles. For India, this means protection primarily on the western front, that is against Pakistan,” he told FE Online. Lauding Indian scientists, Chander said, “Some more tests need to be conducted to check the consistency and reliability of the system. But, the fact that we have hit the missile directly is a rare achievement.”

Avinash Chander also points to a big boost that the interceptor system will give. “This helps India create a credible defense system against rogue attacks. With the new interceptor missile defense system, India is set to get 24/7 vigilance, practically with no single person needed,” said Chander who is also the architect of India’s Agni missiles.

Colonel (Retd) KV Kuber, Independent Consultant Defense and Aerospace also believes that India has showcased its missile supremacy to the world. “There is little doubt that India has now entered an exclusive elite club. We have made a statement to the world by showcasing our supremacy in the missile space. It is a great step that will help counter any incoming threats,” Kuber told FE Online.

Integrated Defense Strategy
India is already in the process of buying Russia’s S-400 Triumf air defense missile systems – widely known to be one of the most modern defense systems in the world. This means that Russia would be giving India such a powerful deterrent that has already rattled the NATO countries. Russian experts proclaim that the S-400 system can shoot down fifth-generation fighter jets, like America’s most advanced F-35s!

With the S-400 Triumf coming to India, and the interceptor missile system being ready in the next few years, India is set to plug in a gaping hole in its air defense. “One of the basic weaknesses of India’s defense is the air defense system. We have not been doing enough procurement on that front. There are multiple vulnerable points and areas that have been identified by our security forces. Now, with the S-400 Triumf, our indigenous interceptor missile Advanced Area Defense, and the impending upgrade of AD – overall we will have a reasonable defense system against the enemy,” Colonel (Retd) KV Kuber believes.

Make in India – Creating An Ecosystem
The successful development and tests of the interceptor system also give wings to the ‘Make in India’ drive of the defense sector. According to Avinash Chander, India can now start thinking of an interceptor for long ranges as well. “Chinese missiles are generally of longer range, but with the current success, India definitely gets the confidence to build a new more advanced system that will eventually counter those too. This is a totally indigenous system, builds long-term self reliance and with the ecosystem, it feeds in to complement other defense systems as well,” he noted.

Kuber sees this as a definite step forward for the indigenous defense industry. “Once the system is tested and goes into production, it will create an entire indigenous defense manufacturing ecosystem that will go a long way in helping India,” he concludes.

before the system even detects our missiles they will be over their cities. forgetting geography and the fact that we are neighbors.

at least try to post something sensible.. neither your missiles are invincible nor you have that much fire power..

I tried to explain in post#18...plz share your thoughts on that...

After Surface-to-air Akash fails to hit a lot bigger and slower then bullet target, India Now has tech to shoot bullet with bullet

I am wondering why you have already not been promoted to a "Think Tank"...hopefully mods can see your full potential...!!

 

[Alok Arya]

believe me it is not a reply of my question

But your response satisfied me . We put on western border what is needed . It has enough for every action needed in future . Now it is your turn , catch if you can . In future we put s400 , iron dome equivalent etc , not because it is needed but because if we put all these only on eastern border , china feel it . So we first put all these on western border than on eastern border .

Until India develops the capability to intercept IRBMs at its midcourse stage, BMD will always play a backstage role to India's nuclear deterrence. Test data from the THAAD, SM-3, and even midcourse interceptors like the GBI show that beyond intercepting stray or accidental launches, BMD networks do little to tip the balance of power with respect to nuclear parity.

Brilliant, please also put test data to enlighten us . Only putting THAAD in South Korea make china cry . If it is tilling balance of power why china react . Please ?

India has a Marginot line of air defences. Just like the Germans we will simply fly round it

That's right.you'd fly to AFGHANISTAN to enter India or perhaps to Iran .I can see why the IAF chose the Ayni air base in Tajikistan .It all makes sense now.

Iran and Afghanistan.....I think you need to look at a map. Lool educated in India I see
