Agni V Discussions

[DelhiDareDevil]

You statistically provide little no knowledge on a defense forum. You haven't compared the missile at any level of intelligence, so to speak. You being able to operate even a computer is astounding, and the level of immaturity you display is to no other. J-20 isn't even in service, and by the time it is a new missile may be added to the Indian arsenal. You don't even sound like you know what an MiG-15 really is? Indians have easily proven themselves with many successful missiles, and the accuracy of their missiles is impeccable, they've successfully integrated some of the best navigational systems out there. Even if Agni-V did fail, it wouldn't matter - its a first test. Anyways feel free to never comment on anything again taking out the frustrations from your every-day life.

Ouch. He just got OWNED!

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.

There is problem with these systems, these are not war proven.Sure, the probability of interception is high, but still not full proof.

I mean for example the PAC 2 /GEM during testing phases intercepted cruise missiles.

During 2003 Iraq war however, they failed to intercept antiquated 1970s Chinese cruise missiles.

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

The additional layer is good, everyone does consider that.

However, if you miss to intercept the nuclear missile during its midcourse phase, then you better to be ready to handle a much worse scenario.

Even you did succeed to intercept the nuclear missile during its terminal phase, however its radioactive debris gonna still fall apart on your soil.

The best scenario is to intercept the nuclear missile of the enemy during its boast and midcourse phases, the terminal interception is a lose-lose scenario.

THAAD is much more advanced then PAC system. And it has very good testing record in comparison to most other platforms.

Also, PAC 2 has been replaced by PAC 3 system.

And PAC 3 is good and battle-tested platform:

THAAD can intercept ICBM missile in space and can prevent worse case scenario. If the warhead is knocked out prior to its detonation, then nothing serious will happen.

the indian anti ballistic missile system has ability to intercept wayy before midcourse, the new 1500km radar is already developed and this year there will be a test of ad 1 and ad2 to destroy icbm at 250 km high.

intercepting missiles in terminal phase is definitely not usefull, if u miss it ur gone.

They still care more about the midcourse interception, which is the truly reliable way to shoot down enemy's ICBM.

^ currently the tier one interceptors (PAD/AAD) are able to defend against ballistic missiles ~2000km and under that travel at speeds of ~4km/s

tier 2 (PDV/AD1/2) would be able to defend against IRBM's and missiles just below the ICBM category

to defend against Pakistani missiles we need missile interceptors that can intercept ballistic missiles with range of 3,000km and below because anything above 3,000km would go over India as for China missile interceptors that can intercept ballistic missiles with range of 6,500km is proficient however China has missiles like the DF-31 which can strike any Indian city and i think the laser based defense currently under development would be used for that any missile launched from Northern China will be harder to intercept however any missile from tibet would be easier to intercept.

It is useful if the platform installed is very good. THAAD fits the bill.

THAAD can intercept ICBM missile in space and can prevent worse case scenario.

I hope these pictures can provide you a better grasp.

Thanks for the photos.

You are not getting the point. As long as a platform is capable of knocking ICBM out in the space, it is good for the job.

Do not underestimate THAAD. It is one of the most reliable ABM systems of US in existence.

If we deploy our ICBMs on the border of Tibet, then you are definitely to intercept it during its boast stage.

However, we have deployed most of our ballistic missiles from medium range to intercontinental range within the deep heartland in China, no one can reach its boast phase, the only way to shoot it down is to use the groundbased midcourse.

hey guys, Put more light on Agni 5 being a Quasi(cruises at lower altitude and can change trajectory) ballistic missile... is it true ??????

The groundbased midcourse system is extremely hard to develop, but once it is successful, then it becomes really easy to knock down the ICBM.

The THAAD system is much easier to develop, however it is extremely hard to knock down the ICBM with the THAAD system.

i was caught by my prof in class while i was checking this news..he took my phone

Indeed THAAD is a very good system. But if the reports of Agni 5 being a quasi BM is true then it will be tough for any ABM system in the world to intercept it.

I need more views on Agni being a Quasi BM
