Missile Defence : Erecting An Iron Dome Over India

sure, but what do they currently have in their inventory and I'm wondering what acquisitions they are planning as the guy I quoted seemed to suggest.

that guy is so famous in pdf for quoting numbers, and this system,that weapons pk should/could/will buy sort of thigs.. don't take him seriously. they have some sams to take out fighter planes , they were in talks about buying HQ-16 and 9 from China since 2012.. no resluts on them yet
 
India needs a lot money to invest in this Iron Dome and the S400
several units will do no good
India is a big country it has to cover all the places

we're not buying "Iron Dome".
 
But i think eventually they will only shield the places where rich people leave , like in punah and not other places like calcuta where the pakistanis will strike
 
There's more information on this page if you really want to know :

Arrow (Israeli missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

you see the wikipedia page , even the wikipedia page , says the israeli arrow is an improvement of the outdated american patriot ..

Ya so... after the gulf war because of the failure of Patriot.. Israel and US went on to develop arrow with Patriot(US only funded) and put something more effective on ground.. so what does that tell you.??

Again go and read about Chinese Interests in Israeli Tech..

But i think eventually they will only shield the places where rich people leave , like in punah and not other places like calcuta where the pakistanis will strike

The both places you're quoting are not really the richest.. And ya.. first capital then finacial cities like Mumbai ( they both are already covered with S-300) then along the border. anyway the missiles first will come in contact with the ABM's that are deployed along the border
 
Forget them, we have nothing yet. Except some vague reports. I find it extremely odd that any purchase amounting to about $10-11 billion doesn't get more play. I wonder where the money is coming from for such a huge purchase.

The mount is not officially acknowledge. I think its for the S-400, Super Sukois and Nuke sub..

i dunno how gd were u in geography but my knowledge tells me pakistan doesnt surround us from all directions

Yup, till it is acknowledged, we are all only thinking.......

@Bang Galore We will have to wait for final prices and what the deals involve. DM has to go to Moscow first.

DM has gone & come back. Now it is the PM's turn in December.
 
The assumption of Indians on bank corrupting Pakistan is hilarious and Childish. Secondly Air Power and Air Defence systems go hand in hand. Finally Pakistan is also buying lot of Air Defence systems but we don't create hype like our beloved neighbor India.

If you think our calculation on Pakistan is wrong then you should rethink.

On topic : It's a good sign and huge step ahead in our our BDM. Am still not out of celebration mood from 10.5 billion dollars S400 purchase. Akash is a success story of another successful world class SAM system in the making. Our quest has just began in right direction and very potent leadership. We must cover our cities with maximum defence system. Long range SAM with strike formation means Deadliest combo.
 
India has to come up with its own solution to its own unique threat from Pakistan. The west like US/Israel or our frrend Russia have come up with products for their own threats. With a range of 600 kms the S400 radar networked with AWACs, Aerostats and a must have satellite based missile launch early warning system will enable the 400 km range 40N6 from the S400 to get to any Pakistani missile launch. (We do need 40N6 surely)

12 S400 batteries placed at a distance of 100 kms apart will cover the entire border from Srinagar to Kutch with overlapping and a very tight net of coverage making it very difficult to penetrate expecially for CMs. Also the inside indian airspace coverage helps us a lot.. Another 15-18 at a distance of 200-250km apart each can cover rest of the country much better including key installation coverage. Frankly India needs not 12-15 to cover the whole Subcontinent rather approx 30 for a very sound and accomplished coverage PAN India and another 2 in Andaman & Nicobar so a total of 32 systems for around 16-17Bn $. So in all we need at least 8 regiments plus preferably 10 regiments of S400.
Over time we must get the HTK missiles of S500 particularly the 77N6 N/N1 missiles and see what can be upgraded in S400 to more of S500 standard. If possible procure out of 30 some 10 systems of S500 standard and deploy few of such systems in central, southern, eastern and one in A&N too.

Simulations will have to be run to ensure that the 40N6 accelerates fast enough to intercept Pakistani missiles while still in the boost phase or in the early mid course phase preferably before they deploy countermeasure and decoys but with a maximum intercept altitude of 185 kms it should be capable of intercepting these short range missiles even during the mid course of their relatively short flights. Even if say like Shaheen 2 is given higher apogee with 1/3rd range, we have a much better chance to intercept such threats too.

(thanks to Idev for some fab idea in other forum)
I have to praise you @PARIKRAMA for including the A&N into your analysis. If you look at any Pakistani source that outlines their doctrine and logic behind nuclear weapons you will notice they rarely fail to include the A&N islands as a site that the must be able to target with nuclear weapons. Despite the fact that I don't believe the SFC/GoI has ever really conceived of using the A&N islands for that purpose themselves it is right to adequately protect them from such threats which will also have give a huge boost to their conventional military significance.
 
Where did the word came from Iron Dome . Israel?

1000's years of Muslim rule made these Indians act funny.. They need another 1000 year of self rule to act normal..
1000 year since when ?

i mean the specific period care to tell ?
 
Prospect of Killing a ballistic missile at boost stage is worrying ...thats actually best way to hit a ballistic missile when it slowest and cannot manauver....and only way that actually can work.....

Thus any missile launches from pak need to be pushed away from border....that may necassitate a further enhanced range shaheen series missile...

Ghauri and short range ballustic missiles need to be phased out and shaheen 1 2 3 need to be pressed in to service in bigger numbers....

Cruise missiles are vulnerable to an extent only...

Even a person with ak 47 can shoot down a subsonic cm if he sees one....
Tree top cm will comtine to have a great survival and actually should be used to neutralise this system
