How will you counter Saheen 1A, with reports that radar can't track it?
How about you helping us out?? For a starter enlighten us that why would we use our so called ICBM on Pakistan??
The Indian ABM is a cash pit aimed to help corrupt people stockpile money. Pakistan needs to ignore it.

ABM Tests were done in ideal conditions. BM path was known. Now under realistic scenario. When a medium range Ballistic missile travelling with 8-10 mach speed going to hit it's target at 1000 Km range, 8-10 mach = 10,000-12,000 KM/Hour. which means it requires 3-6 minutes to hit a target. How can ABM react so quick and so fast unless it's processing it with speed of super computer?
Well if radars can't track it then there is no way it can be countered...though haven't heard of a stealth BM so far....mind throwing some light on it???
Our LRTR are designed to tarck a 0.1m2 RCS missile from 1000km or a cricket ball upto 1400km... although If its somehow invisible on Radar.. there are Infra-red based tracking and guidance system...Its another thing we haven't done much in this regard.. US BMD shield also has Infra red based Ground based and satellite tracking system which can track extreme heat signatures such as BM launch and RE.. with much ease... as a matter of fact they(Satellites) have also been able to detect house fires in US.
Space-Based Infrared System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS)
Our Next target after successful Induction of both phases of BMD should be Space and Ground based IR tracking system.. which can used as a secondary backup measure in case of High energy Electronic Attacks by enemy on our LRTRs.
It was not ideal condition. It was realistic warlike condition.
the target launched at 10:10 and destroyed at 10:15, think how fast the procesing power and reaction time is....
A few minutes after the ‘hostile’ missile, a modified surface-to-surface Prithvi, took off at 10.10 a.m. from Launch Complex-3 at Chandipur, the interceptor missile, Advanced Air Defence (AAD), was fired from the Wheeler Island. As the target missile climbed to a height about 100 km and began descending at rapid speed, the interceptor travelling at supersonic speed homed on to the target and smashed it to smithereens around 10.15 a.m. at a 15-km altitude in the endo-atmosphere.

The Mission Control Centre for the AAD interceptor trial held on 10th February 2012 was deployed in Master-Slave configuration at DRDO Hyderabad and Wheeler Island, Orissa to ensure high availability with built in fault tolerance at each location.
The Mission Control Centre of the Indian BMD programme is one of the most advanced, automated net-centric Command and Control systems in the world.
The Master MCC located more than a thousand kilometer away at Hyderabad from the Missile test range, received the target data in real time from multiple weapon system radars. The complete Air Situation Picture during the BMD trial was provided to the MCC commander using advanced data fusion and target classification techniques.
After the classification of the target as an enemy Ballistic missile, Mission Control Centre issued engagement orders to the AAD Launch Centre located at Wheeler island in Dhamra.
The complete engagement sequence from target detection to destruction was controlled by Mission Control Centre in net-centric mode of operation. The interceptor missile lifted off from Wheeler island destroying the target at an altitude of 15 km.
The AAD Trial has successfully demonstrated complete functionality in deployment configuration of Mission Control Centre for the Ballistic Missile Defence Programme.
The Hindu : News / National : Interceptor scores a direct hit on target missile
The two launches - that of the attacker missile and of the interceptor - took place independently and they were controlled by radars at different places in the country and by the Mission Control Centre and the Launch Control Centre. Fifteen computers stationed at Hyderabad, Balasore, Chandipur, Konark, Puri, Wheeler Island and so on worked in unison and made the mission a complete success. “We saw the fragments of the target missile forming a track on the computer screen, confirming that the target was destroyed,” said Dr. Saraswat, who is also Director-General of DRDO.
Mr. Chander, DRDO's Chief Controller for missiles and strategic systems, called it “an excellent interception” and that “the entire interception was automated with radars tracking the incoming target missile.” While the Launch Control Centre was situated in the Wheeler Island, the Mission Control Centre was situated a few “thousands of kilometers away from the launch point” of the attacker missile, he claimed.
D.S. Reddy, Programme Director, BMD programme, said the success of the interception proved that India had graduated “from the experimental mode to the deployment mode” of its interceptors. While the target missile belonged to 600 km range class, the interceptor missile was capable of taking on missiles which had a range of 2,000 km. “We met all the objectives we had as part of the mission and we have demonstrated to the user [the Army] whatever we were claiming,” Mr. Reddy said.

If the ballistic missile you have intercepted would have had a nuclear war head, wouldn't that have made it a kind of EMP over India's territory.
