The missile launch should be atleast 2 weeks apart from each other no?? I haven't heard simultaneous testing being done before, maybe this will be an exception

S-500 is a complete new generation ABM system underdevelopment in Russia, its in initial stage of development. May be deployed by 2018. I somewhere read that it will not be available for sell or joint-development. But India should make a try.

As range of a missile interceptor is over 250km, and if they have 200 missile points at the distance of 50 km each, it will cover 10,000 km border, which would include Indian costal area also. and if they put 10 missiles at one missile point, then they will need to buy only 2,000 missiles for BMD for the price of 2mil to 3mil each (with total price of $4bn to $6bn for 2,000 piece + $2bn more for establishing infrastructure) to have a missile defence like how US want to do with EU, to cover whole indian territory.

And if India may try to have two BMD layers, One by India itself around its main cities and one this russian S-500 ABM system on border, hopefully, then even if the missile defence on border miss any incoming missile, the next one around the cities will have a better idea about that incoming missile, I think

Unit cost of arrow-3 is also around $3mil

You have a good point. But something beyond PDV include AD-1 and AD-2. If we want anything in addition to these, we might choose carefully between Russian S-500 or US BMD, nothing else.
