India's Missile Defenses Can Now Take On Decoys. That's a Really Big Deal

[LASER1]

So you agree Indians are lying and this news is BS !

It may or may not be true. But we can intercept missiles.

 

[!eon]

It may or may not be true. But we can intercept missiles.

We are talking about decoys.

 

[LASER1]

We are talking about decoys.

Yeah, it arises against countries who can actually launch multiple warheads.

It may or may not be true. But we can intercept missiles.

And we can fire many of them and are spending alot of time and effort to develop everything from MIRV capable missiles to SLCMs

We have full intention of punching through any shield you have and creating a hindu holocaust

Stick to topic TROLL !
I know you Indians come here to troll only .. garbage toiletless nation !

haha, see the irony in your post.

 

[!eon]

haha, see the irony in your post.

Look at the claims of supa powians without toilets

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

At least try to troll properly... there was no stealth 5 decades back

Correct.Tejas was the only one.

It sounds too good to be true, neither USA nor Russia claims to possess such technology at the moment. Identifying a decoy among real warheads is almost impossible. However, given the fact, Pakistan and India are right next to each other, so it makes any Anti-Missile-Defence system redundant. Furthermore, these days there are many means available to overwhelm any defence system and further investing in AI drone technology will further make it more attractive for countries who love to go out all offensive.

Missile v air defence

Put your money on the missiles

There is a reason why were going for numerous warheads and missiles

Those toys are pretty useless when we can block all of them

 

[hussain0216]

Those toys are pretty useless when we can block all of them

were right next to you and have 150+ warheads with multiple and varied delivery vehicles

You aint stoppin much, thats a guarantee

 

[Khurram2349]

Any Anti Missile Defense system anywhere in the world cannot guarantee 100 % success rate. We have seen this in case of so much publicized Iron Dome missile shield of the Israelis but even it couldnt stop barrage of primitive rockets fired from both Hizbullah as well as Hamas.

Expecting a defense system against high technology nuclear cruise missiles or Ballistic missiles equipped with MIRVs is fooling one self. The best defense for India against any nuclear attack is to make peace with its neighbors including China and Pakistan and stop its hegemonic designs which will lead to nothing but destruction !

 

[GumNaam]

come back and talk to us when your able to intercept a 4ft MIRV locked on to your veggie bungholes coming in at mach 18, oh wait...even the u.s. can't intercept that.

India’s efforts to build a homegrown ballistic missile defense system achieved a major success.

On August 2nd, India tested its Advanced Area Defence (AAD)/Ashvin Advanced Defense interceptor missile against decoy targets for the first time.


The Diplomat speculates that this was the first test of the new indigenous imaging infrared (IIR) seeker, which was developed to help the interceptors distinguish warheads from decoy/dummies.


The use of decoys are a more cost effective way to try to confuse missile defense systems enough so that the warheads get through to their target. Either way, though, India’s missile defense systems will need to be able to engage multiple targets simultaneously.

The most recent test was overseen by the Defense Research Development Organization (DRDO), the premier defense technology agency within India’s Ministry of Defense. It took place at Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha in the Bay of Bengal.

The AAD is a single-stage solid-fueled hit-to-kill interceptor missile that destroys hostile missiles in the terminal phase of flight. The press release says it is capable of destroying targets at altitudes of 15 and 25 kilometers.

The AAD had been tested at least five times before this most recent one. Those include tests in December, March and February 2017 as well as one a piece in 2016 and 2015.

The Diplomat’s Gady says the earlier tests were all against Prithvi-II or III short-range ballistic missiles. Given the range cited in the press statement, the test this month was against a different and more powerful missile." data-reactid="31" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The Diplomat’s Gady says the earlier tests were all against Prithvi-II or III short-range ballistic missiles.

Besides trying to build its own missile defense systems, India is also looking to purchase them from abroad. For years there have been reports that India is interested in buying Russia’s S-400 air and missile defense system.

Around the same time, Viktor N. Kladov, director for international cooperation and regional policy of Rostec, a massive Russian conglomerate, made similar comments, saying that negotiations over the S-400 had reached a “very profound stage.”


India also recently announced it would spend $1 billion to purchase a National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System-II (NASAMS-II) to protect the capital city of Delhi. Built by the U.S. firm Raytheon and the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace, India intends to use the NASAMS to deal with cruise missile and other aerial threats against the capital.

Times of India[/a], referring to the AAD and Prithvi systems, “it will be deployed to protect cities like Delhi and Mumbai... The NASAMS, in turn, is geared towards intercepting cruise missiles, aircraft, and drones.”

Washington, DC is also protected in part by the NASAMS.

May the force be with the delusional ones, this one is indeed dapper.
