If Pakistan has better missiles, why did they lost to India in Kargil war.
Although Pakistan initially captured 200 sq.km of Indian territory and that too on higher altitudes than Indian army bases, still then they lost the war. 4000 Pakistani army men killed in contrast to 527 Indian army men.
Dillip, first of all, Kargil was an another coward operation by Pakistan Army to destabilize the Indian territory and it was not an open war between these two nations.
Secondly, even India haven't used there missiles in this war.
Third, though the terrorists (including PA personnel) were at high attitudes, they were not getting help from other end to survive the drubbing by Indian Army.
AT LAST....
You can say copied, help from China, larceny or anything else... but the bottom line is that they have some better missiles than India.
The Shaheen-II : intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM)
The most advanced ballistic missile in service with the military of Pakistan.
The Shaheen-II warhead may change its trajectory several times during re-entry and during the terminal phase, effectively preventing ABM radar systems from calculating pre-calculated intercept points. The re-entry vehicle is also stated to utilise a GPS satellite guidance system to provide updates on its position, further improving its accuracy and reducing the CEP.
Agni-II : medium range ballistic missile (MRBM)
The Agni-II's navigation and aiming uses an advanced ground based beacon system using a TDOA (Time Delay Of Arrival) technique, similar to a GPS system, that constantly provides missile flight position and velocity updates and has been proven in test flights.
ranges from 2000 km to 2500 km
Here is the better Indian Missile
Babur : land attack cruise missile
Launched from ground-based transporter erector launchers, warships, submarines and aircraft, Babur can be armed with a conventional or nuclear warhead and has a reported range of 700 km (435 miles). The missile is designed to avoid radar detection and penetrate enemy air defences. Serial production of the Babur started in October 2005.
Babur has a maximum speed of approximately 550mph.
The missile is stated to have a high degree of manoeuvrability, allowing it to "hug" the terrain, and "near-stealth" capabilities.
BrahMos : supersonic cruise missile One more failed project by DRDO
It is a joint venture between India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroeyenia who have together formed the BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited.
BrahMos have the capability of attacking surface targets as low as 10 meters in altitude. It can gain a speed of Mach 2.8, and has a maximum range of 290 km. The ship-launched and land-based missiles can carry a 200 kg warhead, whereas the aircraft-launched variant (BrahMos A) can carry a 300 kg warhead.
P.S. : India's only fully operational missiles are the Prithvi missile (150–350 km).
