Date : Nov 17 to 21, 2014

Missile : Akash SAM

Location: Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, Odisha.

Test Frequency: training user trials

Performance :

This was last test in the five-day series conducted from Integrated Test Range (ITR) off the Odisha coast. Altogether nine missiles, picked up randomly from the production lot, were used during the trials that started on Monday.

While the first missile successfully destroyed a fast moving aerial target at a low altitude, the second missile directly hit an unmanned aerial target ‘Banshee Jet 80’ nearly four kilometre away and 35 metre above sea level, proving the system’s capability against subsonic cruise missile.

Result: 9 missiles successfully test fired

Have you heard of the difference between head-on intercepts and tail-chase intercepts?

No modern warship/land-based SAM is designed to shoot down anti-ship missiles in tail-chase mode.

I have doubt whether any such system can developed at such meager amount .
