India counters Chinese anti-missile test

[faithfulguy]

Both Pakistani and Chinese do the same, they do not accept Indian media source.

And I guess now Taiwanese have become Chinese.

Not mostly, its actually the publication and the actual information. From what i can gather, the article that start this thread is from more of an Indian "tabloid" newspaper than an Indian mainstream newspaper. If Indian here in here is more inline with Indian mainstream media, can you imaging how non-Indians here would regard something from a Indian tabloid, especially about secret weapons..

Also, Taiwanese are ethnically Chinese. So most Taiwanese never become one, Taiwanese always have been Chinese.

Taiwan official name is Republic of China.

So why they are separate countries? And why do you not use a Chinese flag instead. What matters is official position not emotions.

First of all, no information was given on the range of the missile use in the test, there were only speculations. So you are correct in saying that its unknown. However, a system like mid-course ABM needed with the powerful radar needed is generally for ICBM. You refer to this in your last paragraph when you talk about how India has terminal phase ABM and that it need no ICBM interceptor, which is in itself a response to the statement that India never talk about mid course interceptor.

India has a two tier defense system designed to intercept missiles in their terminal and Mid-course phases.

it is a two tiered system consisting of two interceptor missiles, namely the Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) missile for high altitude interception, and the Advanced Air Defence (AAD) Missile for lower altitude interception. The two-tiered shield will be able to intercept any incoming missile launched 2,500 kilometers away.

The Hindu News Update Service

This ABM system was designed to counter the missiles fired at India by Pakistan.

There is already a development team working on phase 2 of the system to be trialed in 2011.

Dr Saraswat said that Phase 2 was far more challenging because it calls for detecting ICBMs hurtling at twice the speeds of intermediate range missiles. It not only requires bigger interceptor missiles flying at hypersonic speeds of between six and seven times the speed of sound (present interceptor speeds are between Mach 4 and Mach 5) but also radars to detect incoming ICBMs at ranges of over 1500 kms

Brag as much as you want about china dont speak as if you know about India.

while China may have done a Mid course intercept at a very high altitude. A lot of things are still unknown as to the nature of the missile used, was it even Hypersonic. what's its range.

Can China Intercept warheads in their terminal Phases as well.

A mid course intercept is nothing special. Its just part of the Shield.
If you cant intercept terminal warheads that are hurtling down to the planet at hypersonic speeds. That mid course intercept will do you little against anything That gets past.

In fact as the article points out the mid course intercept can even highlight a weakness as the Missile is traveling slowest velocities at this point. And if China is only able to intercept warheads in the Mid course period. its a significant weakness.

But all this about china us just speculation. we know nothing about what China has.

They may very well have a fully fledged and operating system.

Or they may very well have staged the whole thing.

or the whole even was orchestrated by aliens.

Key point we have no information on what China has or does not have.

So claiming that the mid course intercept is harder to do is nothing but a load of BS.

I think India wants a war with China!

So China, are u ready?!

You act more foolish then your posts,

My response had a clear metaphorical answer and reasoning in it.

typical indians devil M dream

you have any problem with that???

plus this is off topic

and republic of china's official position is that it represents ALL of china including Mongolia and other borders since demarcated by the PRC

whats ur point?

Just they wait till ROC merges with PRC, and the ROC politicians demand Zangnan and Outer Mongolia back! Little do they realize if the Nationalist Party had won the civil war, China would have been a lot hungrier!

India has a poverty problem. Every developing country has a poverty problem. But that doesn't mean the country invests nothing in technological and military development.

A nation can attract investment for economic development only if it creates a safe and stable economic environment. And a country like India, whose 6 of 9 neighbors are classified as failed states, needs to spend money on defense to secure its people and its economy.

It is as simple as that. So don't question India's priorities and manner in which it spends in money. Even after having so many problems, we are the world's second fastest growing major economy.

So, keep your suggestions to yourself and rather be concerned about all those poor people in your country. Talk about "foolish posts".

Can you show me an article that speak about India's plan for mid course missile defence. From what I read the current and next generation Indian missile defence is aim to equal that of THAAD. Even though it might not achieve the capability of THAAD, the effort of Indian missile defence is toward that direction.

THAAD system contains missles that can track and engage both just outside of the atmosphere and inside the atmosphere. The following is from the article

THAAD Theatre High Altitude Area Defense - Missile System - Army Technology

"The THAAD system provides the upper tier of a 'layered defensive shield' to protect high value strategic or tactical sites such as airfields or populations centres. The THAAD missile intercepts exo-atmospheric and endo-atmospheric threats.

The sites would also be protected with lower and medium-tier defensive shield systems such as the Patriot PAC-3 which intercepts hostile incoming missiles at 20 to 100 times lower altitudes.
"

From what I understand, this is the type of ability that India is trying to achieve isn't it? If not, please correct me as I believe that India is achieve to THAAD capability. But from wikipedia on Indian missile defence, this is what is on there for the planned future of Indian defence.

Phase 2
Two new anti ballistic missiles that can intercept IRBM/ICBMs are being developed. These high speed missiles (AD-1 and AD-2) are being developed to intercept ballistic missiles with the range of 5000 km.[23] The test trials of these two systems is expected to take place in 2011.[24] The new missile will be similar to the THAAD missile deployed by the U.S.A. These missiles will have to travel at hypersonic speeds and will require radars with scan capability of over 1500 kilometers to successfully intercept the target.[25]
