India expressed interest in Patriot air defense system : Raytheon

[kurup]

India actually operates S300 PMU II

But Sir , I cannot find any literature supporting it .

Do you have a source for that ???

 

[kurup]

What about those items that India DID ask officially........how are they going?

Going fine .

C-17 , C-130 , P8I already operational .

Deal for apaches , chinook close to signing .

And further more acquisitions on the line .

 

[kurup]

it is useless against an all out nuclear attack so what is the point of it's existence?

Something is always better than nothing .

[kurup]

Well , that will do .....

The weird thing is with almost all the acquisition out in the open , why are they mum on S300 .

 

[MilSpec]

Well , that will do .....

Can you disclose where ??

is it?, care to explain how?

is it?, care to explain how?

It is a known fact that in the case of an all out nuclear war it cannot stop every most missiles. It is also useless agains MIRVs

Thats impossible, we dont operate S 300. It failed in our field trials.

Yet even the S-300VM has significantshortcomings. The ceiling of the S-300VM is around 30km against aircraft and 25km againstballistic missiles and while its range against aircraft may be great, its published rangeagainst ballistic missiles is only 40km. Moreover, reports circulating in India haveindicated that the S-300VM has failed trials at the Pokhran test range

So when the 40 Kms version failed, you are saying we bought the bigger range?

@kurup have a look...

That explains why your chaps keep bringing up non-deployment of ABM's every time they meet officially. All that bother over something you say won't work............

So, US and Russia have analysed this "KNOWN FACT" and then after careful consideration they in their sensible minds went for the developement of BMD. Thats sounds absurd isn't it?

Can you tell mewhat is the first purpose of an ABM system?

The US land-based ABM system has failed BIG TIME! can't even stop a single missle. Let alone a Salvo or MIRVs
