BMD tested successfully

Ah ok thanks.

This would be a mid alt interceptor then.

High alt would be like THAAD which is 150 km+.

If India can get a working system for 200km interception altitude, most MIRV capable missiles from the neighbourhood will be countered given interception can be done before separation. Though the crucial technology for that will be the radars and sat based sensors needed.

That's Phase 2. Phase 1 is a combination of AAD and PDV to intercept trajectories of ballistic missiles with 2000 km range. Phase 2 will be for that of missiles with ranges of 5000 kms.

speed of the interceptor? And max range of interceptor?

First level hardware maximum speed 4.5+ mech and 200 on range in Sam mode.

2nd mech 5+

It took only 2 posts to let our neighbours express their butthurt.

Well done India.

indigenous seeker is a great addition

3rd anti missile has has 150+ km altitude but range is classified. Speed is hypersonic.

With PDV final aim is 150km.

150+

Phase 1 is AAD+PAD target range upto 2000 km while PDV can intercept Missile of range upto 5000 km that's why PDV range & speed is less known.

AAD and PAD are real hard work of Indian scientists , We owe them a lot ... AAD + PAD+S400 will be a great combination to save major installation.

As I believe, BMD is not enough. We need to deploy and operationalize a four tier defense - Akash, BARAK 8, S-400 and BMD - aided by satellites, AEW&CS and laser weapons. This test is solid step forward to that direction.

97 km is pretty significant. That is getting very close to exo-atmospheric interception.

Makes me wonder what the max intercept altitude of the system is.

250 KM.

When 250 KM range MRSAM based missile will come in, it will proved to be superior to S 400 i believe. I think PAD higest interception altitude is 250 KM.

Any video or pics released by DRDO ?

Even AAD is getting better and better. It is much more agile and low weight now. Body id converted into a composite one. Seeker is home grown now.

We can add spyder in the list also
