Ramana..Apart from TS article in THE Hindu, In interview by DRDO head, he mentioned the first stage of the interceptor has some portion of Prithvi...

I bet my ass that it wasn't a "Prithvi" that intercepted another one - but some other "Baan" that they have decided to call Prthvi for public consumption. In some forum peoples are saying its Arrow 2 given by israel :( oh well. Hopefully it wont be Arrow 2. If someone saying it ...

Which news report says interceptor was Prithvi based?? Some report says that the target was modified prithvi and the interceptor was a totally new missile. Some say the interceptor was not identified by DRDO . So by the title of the thread it seems that the interceptor is prithvi based or I am miss...

Why you all want to equate Arrow-2 with our AXO missile.

Do we need a foreign brand name to accept our desi product ?

Think about this before equationg.
Arrow-2's max range of flight is 90km as per spec available in open lit. Ours as per report available is >100km

I dont think that it was a boost phase intercept.. I think the the intercepter hit a desecending missile from nearly the same height after maneuvering to intercept.. I have some problem in buying this theory.. Footage shows missile is in climbing stage and after the intercept, debris fall down. Is ...

i have a big doubt. How can they use a ballistic missile to counter another ballistic missile and used as abm shield? Generally a ballistic missile has a very short and fast powered flight and then it has a longer ballistic flight which is not a powered flight. During this stage some maneuverations...

JC, I am may be wrong, or media may be again like DDM. What they are talking about here, http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NEWS/newsrf.php?newsid=7771 That is the DivyaDrishti project which is different from the Radar project. Its basically the creation of a Vera type system. http://www.drdo.org/labs/e...

Please read this article in reference with the development of a long range radar. JC, I am may be wrong, or media may be again like DDM. What they are talking about here, http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NEWS/newsrf.php?newsid=7771 And, What happened to LORA type artillery missile which IA is looking ...

Why does the media have to criticize the DRDO for everything? You started to think, "I think that there should be some changes to the DRDO" so media achieved what they want.(I am not criticizing; I am just telling the fact) Now you also started to say "but still they have successfull...

TOI is total BS...

I learnt that...This test was to send the messg that India is not just like another developing country.

Tilak..good find.. But where is the interceptor ? I am seeing only one missile then only smoke...

Can you share the video link pls..Can you upload it to any fileshare.. The link you shared previously didnt show any such thing...

Joey, Boost phase IR detection means, detecting the launch and calculating the trajectory by detecting Rocket flame (i,e boost phase) using satellites. In boost phase interception, the interceptor may have IR detector (or visible or Near Ultraviolet detector) which guides the interceptor to the roc...

How you know they are crowing...

you are asking for a bang.. Anyway enjoy

kanson I was referring to his "espio....." comment - I see that is edited now good I agree with you.... One more reason why it has its own connotations is... This missile is not tested for the first time as reported by the media/MoD/DRDO/PTI etc... Reason is...No body knows whether the mi...

Surya..

every missile test of strategic importance has its own connotations..

If they can wait for years to test the Agni-III.. why they pack this test before and after the Hu's visit.

Last time, they fired a Agni missile like this after the premier left.

I think burn rate will not change with the payload. I dont know what makes you to hold on to this one displayed some 6 yrs ago.

And, if possible, pls send the presentation on ABM.

It's probably called an Exoatmospheric Atmospheric System, not an "AXO Atmospheric Intercept System". On the other hand, the exosphere is more than 600km above sea level while this test occurred 40-50km above sea level. Answers, answers... Raytheon's ground-launched hit-to-kill exosphere ...

This is the picture.

The launcher has ‘stop-slew-launch’ and ‘launch-while-track’ capability - for quick reaction.

ABMs are VLS type.

To meet the Army’s future requirements, the DRDO diverted some funds from its missile program in January 2003 to begin developing its own air defense system capable of tracking ballistic missiles. As per BR,first Prithvi-3 test was done on Jan 2004. So from Jan 03 to Jan 04, 12 months duration. h...
