Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Dec. 28, 2
I think this incident marks an important milestone vis-a-vis Pakiland. The "public sentiment" has started interfering with the routine kaam-dhaam of the Foreign Service afsars over there. Arresting a "diplomat", that too an American would have been 101% haraam even 2 years ago. B...

akutcher no one is expecting an intercept 500km away !!!!! Relax man. Paki BM's will be in boost phase even 200km's from the tracking radar in rajasthan. Thats why I said its possible to intercept Paki BM's at boost phase. Anything wrong with that :?: Gawd .... you made a mountain of a molehill. i ...

so my suggestion forget about it and focus on a Terminal high altitude interceptor which can handle targets travelling at about 4km/sec Indeed, but I wasnt the one tomtomming that MIRV is so dead? From the pattern of some posts it is clear that you start with zero information and keep changing your...

IMO akutcher in case of pakistan the border isnt to sdep. Wrong..... the shortest distance from western balochistan to indian border is more than 600km if deployed right way in indian borders and afganistan boost phase interception is best. Wrong.... no one will let you put missiles in Afghanistan ...

Please note that Indian ABM shield capable of intercepting 3.5 to 4.5km/secs peed missile (read SRBM and IRBM) forces China to drastically increase its inventory of ICBM (higher speed missile that can penetrate 4.5km/sec ABM shield). Those Chinese IRBM were no ones botheration but India. But more C...

Kanson, i dont feel the need to win an argument but believe me what you are saying is the distance travelled by missile not the the range....... my understanding of range is if we talk about a 100km SAM which intercepts at 50km altitude, we mean sort of a protective cylinder with radius 100km and a ...

My dear friend. We are talking about terminal phase interceptor. FYI...In which way you travel, parabolic, hyperbolic or circle, range remains same for the powered flight.

You are right Rakall on Mass calculation. On powered flight and non-powered one..it depends upon the situation. And for the terminal phase interceptor 70 secs unpowered flight is high. To add..there are two ranges reported normally. One if max. range. And, other is max. range of flight. Max. range ...

IMO we are getting little if any any Israeli help in our ABM, had our system been based on Arrow wont that mean it would have used an explosive warhead instead of the widely reported hit-to-kill type?
