Capability to neutralise enemy satellites proved

[perplexed]

I do not believe that India was able to hit an ICBM before. India do not even possess ICBM so it would not be able to test hitting an ICBM. It can simulate hitting an ICBM in terms of trajectory at the end of terminal phase even with a short range missile but other variables such as income speed, maneuverability and decoys would be difficult to emulate.

DRDO never claimed hitting down an ICBM. They have reiterated several times that PDV/AAD at this point will be able to shoot down 700-1300 KM range missiles. Capability to shoot down ICBM/IRBM is part of the second phase.

Considering that INDIA will perfect cryogenic technology in a year or two, and Agni V being tested later this year, I dont see any reason why INDIA cant test BMD for ICBMs in 2014 when the second phase is slated to begin.

This would be a very limited range ballistic missile. Typically, ICBM are usually move 10000KM or more. Allow countries like US to hit Russia and China for for these countries to hit US. But India has no need for this kind of missile. As I mentioned before, India should focus on developing THAAD instead of worry about the designation of the missle such as if its ICBM or IRBM. Unless India plans to take on the US, there is no need for ICBM.

our immediate need is to put up a ABM against SRBM and IRBM.....
AAD and PAD and PDV have the ability to defend against SRBM and IRBM...
this is phase 1..

in the next phase,there will be AD 1 and AD 2 to counter ICBM..
is there any rule that we should not build ABM for ICBM...??
After the 1st phase 2nd phase will start..

check this link..u can clearly see phase 1 and phase 2...

After PDV is tested,phase 1 will be completed....
And PDV will have KKV mechanism and travels at hypersonic speeds can can hit target at 150km alt..

Guys will we build a 10,000Km BM to test the effectiveness of of the 2nd phase ABM which should counter ICBM's..??

One of your country man mentioned that India is developing THAAD that would target ICBM up to 5000KM. However, 5000KM is not a real ICBM, this range is IRBM range missile. And THAAD is a terminal phase ABM for missiles of this range. True mid course interceptors are only for real ICBMs. I do not believe that its practical to create a mid course ABM if the missile is just a IRBM as there might not be enough time to do an interception. Something like THAAD would be more practical for India.

Yes we are developing something to intercept ICBM.... first of all you have to understand that 5000KM range missile means you dont need to detect the missile from 5000Km apart.. which is not simply possible with spherical earth... the detection can be something about x Km of high altitude .. that is after boost phase that is before post boost phase it has to be detected ... so that before the end of Mid course terminal the BMD will hit the target...

5000km range missile means.. those missile will have a maximum trajectory after which it will not go up.. so detection before the maximum trajectory is the key.. not the distance

No dude, we don't need such long range missile as target for phase II of ABM but existing missiles can be simulated like them. After certain level the target missile will follow the trajectory and speed of an ICBM. See how Prithvi simulating as 2000 km missile during the Phase I tests.

Not exactly true. This is because, ICBM travel at speeds of 6-9 km/s which is tremendous as comparable to 2000 km range missiles which travel at a fraction of their velocity. So, I think we need to go for ultrasonic(super hypersonic or whatever u might call) missiles to intercept them. Besides we need to perfect our BMD against MIRVs. I m sure we will achieve it.

 

[tanlixiang28776]

can u show me a video of the ABM test,its test parameters...how many testes were conducted and how many were succesful and when was the last test conducted.....???

Same missile as the 2007 ASAT test at 865 Km. The SC 19

This time it was a mid-course extro-atmospheric KKV interception on March 11, 2010 at 250 Km

despite this test being far more advanced then the 2007 one it is also far more secretive.

Not as much hullabaloo as there was no debris for people to whine about.

What not true in my post? Where did i said that ICBM and 2000 km missile's speed are same? Read the post again.

He is saying that you cannot simulate a real ICBM with a shorter range missile as they cannot attain the desired speed.

Don't tell me you believe that ??/ You guys claim to have BMD that can intercept ICBM, if yes then go around and ask what was used in those test and you will find how these tests are done.
