just ask yourself one simple question, would india risk looking like. total fool by providing Pakistan an opportunity to say that they DID shoot it down? Let's just for a minute take what the ISPR said at face value that they did not shoot it down and rewind back to march 9th when the missile was about to be launched. what would be going through the minds of the indian planners when picking a target? do you honestly think that would as so stupid to pick a uninhabited region of mian chunno to just crash their missile? don't you think someone in their higher command or the government would've said that "saar ji, if vee crash our mijjile in mian chunnu then vaat if the Pakistanis claim that they shot it down, vee vud look like total chootias beecaj vee are chootias and the varld vud know vee are chootias"?! bear in mind, we've rewound to march 9th so they have no idea how the Pakistanis would react. they were obviously convinced that they would be tracked let alone intercepted otherwise they would've never risked a nuclear strike in spite of having s400s, a risk just not worth taking given that Pakistan could've AT LEAST launched against their forward airbases using NASRs missiles which would reach their targets before the s400s could do anything...they would not have taken this risk unless they were sure that brahmos could not be detected, they have even touted that the brahmos-ng (which this probably was since it was air launched) has a much smaller rcs so it is harder to detect let alone track.
Pakistan has intercepted it. the main target was the Rafique Airbase...I would urge you not to take what the ISPR said at face value. Pakistan isn't known for advertising its military capabilities; quite the opposite in fact. Pakistan is known for hiding its capabilities.
yaar kuch tau das do...its like, I'm the only one who is saying that we intercepted it, everyone else seems to be stuck in some sort of inferiority complex. maybe I shouldn't talk...
