Now waiting for "newIndianExpress " to declare this test a failure and how end users are not interested in inducting this

Great news

It's PDV[emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]

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.

120 kms

given in the next tweet . .a window of 80-120 km

speed of the interceptor? And max range of interceptor?

With PDV final aim is 150km.

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.

Well that puts pressure back on pakistan lets see what they come up with. ababeel 2 with more mirvs or decoys?

It's intended purpose is to intercept & destroy incoming warhead in terminal phase using Green Pine, Swordfish and naval ship borne target detection, tracking & target solution. System able to distinguish between decoys n actual warhead calculating the difference in trajectory which also suggests our ISRO and DRDO sensors are able to give satisfactory capabilities in MIRV.

Congratulations india !!

As much high altitude as Prthivi 3rd gen missile can go but then maximum altitude will render it like a subsonic missile in terrain hugging mode. So mid level altitude is optimum to achieve effective interception.

Good job guys..
