What are the chances of our Zarb, Herba and C-802, The Coastal, The Ship Fired and the Air-Launched missiles to be easily picked by Barak-8 as it is as capable as the above examples and the indians ships as far as i know do carry radar and IR decoys !
I am not sure how accurate this info is! Not saying that they are telling a lie but may be this is the cruise missile they are talking about?
Though this is Syrian
I mean, what missiles were they? The quality of weapon system used in those strikes will give us a much more clear picture of the whole development. The information do not satisfies much. For example:
"On three separate dates in October 2016, the USS Mason (DDG-87), USS Nitze (DDG-94), USS San Antonio (LPD-17), and USS Ponce (AFSB-15) came under attack while operating off the western coast of Yemen, near the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb. While all four ships were not always operating together as a group when the attacks took place, the Mason was present on 9, 12, and 15 October. In each case the Mason, positioned to respond in defense of the group and herself, fired salvos of Standard missiles, Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles, and electronic countermeasures."
Incident 1
"On Oct. 9, 2016, Mason’s radar detected two anti-ship cruise missiles launching 48 kilometres away from rebel-held areas of Yemen. They flew low over the water at about 1,100 kilometres an hour, and would reach the ship in just over two minutes."
A missile fired just 48km away? fine!
13Km AWAY? did they used some boat to get this close to the US ships? Or were the US ships so close to the shore? Why?---Incident 2
"A few days later, on Oct. 12, another cruise missile attacked Mason. It apparently was shot down 13 kilometres away, about 45 seconds before it would have struck."
---
"On October 12 Mason faced a single ASCM and intercepted it eight miles out."
Plus, using SM-2 for these missiles? It have a range of 180 Km appx. For a threat being fired at such short range they have quick response short range defense systems.
Do not makes much sense to me.
