Pakistan cruise missiles pose key challenge to India

[1ndy]

A radar looking down from a height of above 1000 metre can detect and guide an intercepter missile toward low flying target such as cruise missile.

 

[Major Sam]

may be you don't know what aerostat radar is.

SOrry please forgive all,

as they forgot Aerostat can even detect Aliens coming from Mars and This technology is being transferred by zombies with the Help of @ISRO666 to incredible SUPER POWER INDIA.....


Cheers

In Soviet India, Akash SAM can easily brought down Babur cruise missile

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Pakistan Does not have any Cruise missiles that it uses for Anti-ship Role, ALL of them are for land based Targets be it they are costal inland or airforce bases, pakistan does not have developed an anti ship missile yet, It uses C803, excoet*,harpoon,ld-60

anti-ship missiles are not the same as cruise missiles

India tested nirbhoy which failed so they are working on cruise missiles now, pakistan has already in production and deployment phase of its cruise missiles, Those are (Babur and Raad)


"thank you come again"

Somebody forgot abt the mach 5.5 CM-400..

 

[bigzgvr4]

sorry i thought the export name was ld-60
appoligies

Apart from the nukes,i would regard Babur as the next greatest threat to India from Pakistan.

 

[The Deterrent]

Negative, cruise missile do not pose a greater threat to India than ballistic missiles. Currently India has no means of countering Pakistan's strategic ballistic missiles, but on the other hand it can shoot down some cruise missiles by various weapons systems if detected, such as Akash SAM, Tunguska, AAAs, CIWS (land-based, if any) or interceptor aircrafts.
Cruise missiles go into the terrain hugging mode mostly in terminal phase, so unless they are very low observable (e.g. like AGM-129), they are pretty much detectable by radars and other mediums.

It will be solved once the layered missile defense system in place.

The level of conflict defines the importance of cruise missiles in India-Pak scenario.

Its YJ-12..

 

[Sinnerman108]

India must invest heavily in anti missile shield.

India must improve anti ballistic missile and anti cruise missile technologies.

 

[Safriz]

Why and how?

Shooting down cruise missiles is much much easier than a ballistic missile.

Please tell this to DRDO
DRDO

So that they stop trying to make Nirbhay

you are forgetting a very important capability of cruise missiles...waypoint to waypoint navigation...

Way-points selected to avoid radar detection...Cruise missile can go round the radar range of enemy's air defences... undetected...even without ground hugging

lol
:rofl
hahahaha

 

[Umair Nawaz]

Do pakistan have a missile defense system like this to counter Nirbhay?

In pakistan,anything is possible -Including kidnapping the son of former Prime Minister under broad daylight!

Heard of Brahmos??

Yeah we have heard. U mean a Russian Yagnook Missile sild to India which has just 2.5 mach speed and range 290km n Babur 1 had 700km n Babur 2 has 1000++ both r operational with modifications in their original designs.

And have u ever heard of Chinese Cruise anti ship missile that we have brought recently??
It has mach 4.5 to 5.5 speed.

Please enlighten us.

1: A cruise missile with no fixed trejectory and manuverability.

2: Stealth

3: Flies as low as the tree top.

How is it 'easier' to shoot it down than the one which is detectable and has a predictible trejectory and flies over atmosphere?

1. An Airplane also does not have a fixed trajectory and is much more maneuverable than a crusie missile + there is world fastest supercomputer in it in form of human brain and yet it is easier to shot down than a ballistic missile.

2. Stealth cruise missiles does not exist and even their existence would not have changed dynamics in favor of cruise missiles.Stealth is a useful concept in case on Aircrafts because by the time a Radar detects a Stealth Aircraft, that radar would be dead.( Are you aware of the fact that every stealth aircraft could be detected by radar but at shorter range than conventional aircraft). A cruise missile does not have ability to fight back Radar, hence stealth in case of cruise missiles would not be a gamechanger.

3. Could be detected by look down shoot down radars, both AWACS and Aerostat even when in ground hugging mode. Another point is that a Cruise missile is not capable of ground hugging mode throughout the flight.

4. Ballistic missile are difficult to be shot down because interceptors have both speed and altitude limits. Also detecting a Ballistic warhead is difficult.

5. A cruise missile could be shot down by any Air defense system capable of shooting down Aircrafts. A SAM or AtoA missile is perfectly capable of shooting down a cruise missile. It could even by shot down by Air defense guns probably with less effort than that required for an Airplane since a cruise missile could not react to efforts of interception.
