well I posted that because the article spoke about kinetic kill vehicle.
there is no such missile which can be listed under ABM. But yes Asat capabilities is something which they posses.

The 2007 ASAT test: It did prove the altitude and the accuracy of our KKV technology to shoot down the ICBM.

The 2010 ABM test: It did prove the real capability of our KKV to shoot down the ICBM by overcoming its high maneuverability.

Yet the KKV technology is not sufficient to tackle against a large group of ICBMs, thus it will inevitably push us towards the superior MKV technology.

i mean missiles capable of mid course interception,not capable of terminal interception.anyway..thanks..

On July 26, 2010 India successfully tested an interceptor missile, bringing down an incoming target ballistic missile (a modified Prithvi) with 2,000 km range, at an altitude of 15 km over the Bay of Benga

can any one tell me which missile was this modified Pirthivi? was it Dhanush???

Yeah, it is good to see that India is also developing both spear and shield.

Maybe the mutual balance can keep pushing towards the peace, but also the healthy competition.

ASAT test showing accuracy ? You already know the trajectory for it duh..

it was a modified prithvi..it destroyed the incoming missile,but it was a partial success as it failed to do a direct hit.

what he meant is that kind of technology is also being used in ABM..that ASAT was a KKV..the same China is pursuing for mid course interception for ICBM..

if a modified pirthivi can reach 2000 km. why don't they use it as a SLBM?


or they wanted to say this modified Pirthivi flew the trajectory of a 2000 km range Missile?

 

[GR!FF!N]

lol..it was a modified prithvi which mimics Chinese and Pakistan's MRBM's trajectory.

lol yeah.. i edited my post. I was little surprized about the range. damnn..

That small weather satellite FY-1 had a flight altitude and a travelling speed similar to a typical ICBM, only its trajectory was predictable.

Our first test was about to prove the flight altitude and the pinpoint accurate to hit an object travelling faster than Mach 20.

Except the groundbased midcourse, no other missile defence system can reach that kind of flight altitude and velocity.

Our second test was about to intercept the real ICBMs by overcoming its unpredictable trajectory.

Jai Hind.

So launch on Congress & Bombay....

Even KKV is still relatively immature technology, only two nations got it, let alone something like MKV.

US is also in the exploration stage of this technology, there is no such thing that they are much more advanced.

Not mentioning that their groundbased midcourse tests (the only way to shoot down the ICBMs) went really disappointing in recent years compared to China's.

THAAD also has capability to destroy ICBM and it is very good system.

US is also developing laser technologies for this purpose.

Terminal maybe, but midcourse no way.

Sometimes called Kinetic Kill technology, the THAAD missile destroys missiles by colliding with them, using hit-to-kill technology, like the MIM-104 Patriot PAC-3 (although the PAC-3 also contains a small explosive warhead). This is unlike the Patriot PAC-2 which carried only an explosive warhead detonated using a proximity fuse. Although the actual figures are classified, THAAD missiles have an estimated range of 125 miles (200 km), and can reach an altitude of 93 miles (150 km). The THAAD missile is manufactured at the Lockheed Martin Pike County Operations facility near Troy, Alabama. The facility performs final integration, assembly and testing of the THAAD missile.

Here;

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) element provides the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) with a globally transportable, rapidly deployable capability to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles inside or outside the atmosphere during their final, or terminal, phase of flight.

Official information.

Point is that it offers an additional layer of defense against ICBM and a very good one.
