Only in a tail chase.according to gambit,the interceptor's speed must be at least 3 times than the target !

Kadaai, and rice cooker - very big one's - check.
what about the PLAN's presence in Gwadar. surely it will be armed with its toys like DF-21D's . it will protect it's investment
The odds of a pilot doing that is pretty slim simply because the missile's acceleration is fast enough that he will focus mainly on being defensive. This is where that preferable 3X speed advantage comes in for the missile.@gambit
Sir,
I have a doubt. What will happen when the missile is fired and the aircraft turns its tail and runs away and again engages the aircraft which is intercepting it?
There are plenty of air combat testimonies where the victim pilot managed to escape death by presenting a sensory superior target to the missile: the sun and sometimes water surface glint....while its seeker very often locked on to the sun or clouds,...
For a radar guided missile, its radar transmissions could incorporate IFF queries and if one target out of two (or more) does not respond appropriately, the missile will go after the non-responsive target. Or the missile can have passive IFF receivers and all fighters in the vicinity must continuously transmit their IFF codes so the missile can discriminate friends from foes. There are technical solutions but the issue is always: $$$.The Stinger system features a proportional navigation system, integrated Indentification Friend or Foe (IFF) interrogation, and threat adaptive guidance.
So now the Russians have come up with their old planned of 6 Super N-Carriers again, I am assuming that they will going to offer IN their only single carrier which they are currently operating...
So will IN going to look at it.
But there are chances in future and it totally depends upon Russian will of producing their 6 Planned Super N-Carriers...
Though it has been on halt since 2006 and from 2012 news are coming they are again looking in to producing it.
WOW, time for a reality check then, India is going for nuclear subs and a few new CBG's and that article is scary. @gambit, @Penguin - are these two and other surface ships so vulnerable? or, its just a caliberated exercise. I cannot believe that a lone deisel sub is capable of so much damage everytime.
It seems diesel subs are nigh undetectable if they shut down and lie in wait,virtually nothing stopping them from ambushing a surface group by popping up when it passes over.Also calls into question whether we need SSNs at all.I mean we don't have worldwide commitments and SSNs cost huge deal more.
