Indian officials called “anti-missile technology is absolutely superior to China,” the U.S. expert not agree

newspaper freelance writer Li Qiao

According to “India Hindu “reported that India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) Mr V · K · announced Saraswat, DRDO and Indian Strategic Forces Command (SFC) program on March 10 to 15, the implementation of anti-missile test, which will India is the fourth anti-missile intercept test.

Saraswat recently told “Hindustan Times” correspondent, said, “India to defend itself against missile attack technology is absolutely superior to China in the ballistic missile defense (BMD) field, we advantage is no doubt, “and claimed that” let the Chinese part of the missile failure. ” As we all know, always like to compare India and India’s military power at all levels, and some of its senior officials and the media often gets out of rhetoric, as the true extent of the number, the last is often overlooked.

is for Pakistan’s “invincible barriers”?

According to Indian media reports, the main test of the new time trial DRDO-made “advanced air defense/missile interceptors” (AAD) of reliability, then SFC first from Orissa Sol Barra range 3 tower fired a simulation of the “land of SS-250″ ground to ground missiles, then located in a remote ElBaradei Buco ng warning radar, and continuous tracking, target information is sent to the missile mission control center for further processing, to 70 km from Bala Orissa Saul Wheeler Island test field AAD missile units assigned objectives and tasks. When the “land of SS-250″ is 110 km trajectory highest point, AAD will be launched, it is in the middle of the last paragraph of the data updating system and the help seeker, straight toward the target, is expected to direct the 20 km height impact dummy, complete the intercept test.

alleged, AAD on December 6, 2007 conducted a similar experiment to succeed, the main test is overwhelmed by DRDO hopes to get more performance parameters, to provide a guarantee for the future shape production. India’s “Deccan Herald” quoted as saying Saraswat, AAD operational range of the U.S. Patriot PAC-3 rather, are in the last paragraph of anti-missile system, but the AAD’s performance even better, “it will be (even in Pakistan China) ballistic missile insurmountable ‘invincible barriers’. ”

by DRDO’s schedule, AAD, and “Earth” exo-atmospheric anti-ballistic missile (PAD) form a double for India’s future ballistic missile defense system (BMD). Saraswat said: “In 2007, AAD atmospheric intercept test, we conduct a PAD-atmospheric intercept test, these tests have shown the power of domestic anti-missile system … we will arrange for AAD and PAD combination of the two trials, once the merger successful interception system inside and outside the atmosphere, its ‘anti-collision’ hit rate of 99.8%, then India will become the United States, Russia and Israel after the first four can block a range of 5,000 km range any incoming missiles country. “

According to the United States’ atomic scientists Bulletin,” Introduction, November 27, 2006, DRDO test-fired the interceptor missile for the first PAD, in the highly successful intercept of 50 km SFC fired a modified “Earth SS-250″ missile, which is designed to mimic the Chinese DF-11 missiles and Pakistan, “Ghazi Navier” track ballistic missiles, as India believes that Pakistan armed forces in war “launched without warning,” both the missile is highly likely, the greatest threat to the Indian Army.

2007 年 12 月 6 日 11 时, DRDO first test of AAD, 15 km in height (the atmosphere) intercept the “land of SS-250″ missiles, “Hindustan Times” had boasted that “the entire search process is blocked as in the haystack to find a pencil.”

claimed that the first battle in 2011 will form the ability

according to India’s “missile defense program” and its anti-missile system development is divided into two phases. The first phase is scheduled for completion in 2011, PAD, AAD interceptor missile defense system will form the two initial operational capability.

PAD intercept height set at 50 to 80 km, can destroy incoming missiles outside the atmosphere, while the AAD interceptor height of 30 km, mainly within the atmosphere, destroy enemy missiles. Incoming targets for lethal large, with India and also the implementation of PAD and AAD “relay block.” The anti-missile systems, including many launch vehicles, remote early warning radar, launch control center and mission control centers, these facilities will not be together in time of war, but through encrypted Internet communications network.

Indian media reported that the combat mission control center to act as assistant commander of the decision-making, from radar, satellite and other channels to collect information on enemy missile flight, and then by 10 to run the computer for data processing , and through wide area network links with other parts of anti-missile system. Mission Control Center will target classification, according to the goals of the decision to require the number of interceptor missile launch, and then assign tasks to the launch control center.

by Saraswat say, PAD, AAD system will enable the Pakistani nuclear missile “basic disablement,” while China’s Second Artillery deployed medium-range ballistic missiles in the western region of combat power will also be large degree of offset.

the second phase, DRDO main 席萨拉斯瓦特 to Indo-Asian News Agency (ANI), said, DRDO is developing two kinds of medium-range ballistic missile to intercept intercontinental ballistic missile interceptor even. Military observers said, is undoubtedly directed at the northern neighbor.

According to foreign media reports, DRDO Phase II anti-missile research focuses on high-speed interceptor missile, its function quite similar to the United States began to deploy the Theater High Altitude Lu Jungang defense system, mainly to deal with a range of 5,000 km about the long-range ballistic missile, which requires the interceptor missile must have more than five times the speed of sound flight capacity, and, early warning radar detection range should be extended to 1500 kilometers away.

Indian media, “Lei Difu” disclosure, DRDO at the 2009 annual report mentioned a product called “PDV” (Indian media said there was “Qiaotai”, Ashvin) hypersonic anti- guided interceptor missile being developed into the final stage, expected to be the end of 2010 for the first test, designed to intercept height will reach 150 km.

U.S. experts: this is not very realistic

U.S. “Foreign Policy” magazine recently published an article called: Tokyo, Japan to fight in the anti-missile defenses in Asia caused by most of the capital, the United States and India interested in joint development of missile defense systems. U.S. move is likely to become a great power conflict in the next 10 years, the outbreak point.

U.S. Center for Defense Information in Washington, said analysts 维多利亚赛姆森 to further win over India to balance China, the United States intends to sell India advanced performance of the Patriot PAC-3 missiles, but India has developed its own anti-missile more interested in the system. Texas, United States intelligence agencies predicted a “strategic project,” military analyst Nathan Hughes, eager to work with India, Japan, Israel to develop more advanced anti-missile system, “the middle undoubtedly need the acquiescence of the United States remain good.”

U.S. World Security Institute China Program Director Kongzhe Wen pointed out that once the United States would like India to make any missile defense system into their own action (either in selling missiles or lease infrastructure in India), will be China as a serious strategic provocation by China’s strong will to counter.

Kongzhe Wen said China’s western region has been a blind spot monitoring system the United States, if the United States and India to achieve cooperation on missile defense, these areas will be “thoroughly exposed” in front of the United States, thus reducing China in the region. ” strategic depth “advantage.

He stressed, “In essence, this will be (to India) to become another U.S. missile defense bases overseas, but also directed at the Chinese heart.” Therefore, China is particularly sensitive on this issue, the United States will be treated as part of a strategy to contain China. As a counter, the PLA could grab before the deployment in India with anti-ICBM system. But he also believes that Beijing is confident, but India is unlikely to abandon its independent foreign policy, and are not willing (or as) the United States against the Chinese part of the plan.

for India’s ballistic missile defense claims “absolutely better than China,” International Assessment Strategy Center in Washington, Richard Fisher, senior researcher believes that this is not realistic. He said that even in 2009, the PLA Second Artillery missile weapon Tiananmen debut as a benchmark, then compare India’s future will be equipped with anti-missile interception system, “This is almost more than an order of magnitude.”
