India Can Shoot Down Chinese & Pakistani Nuclear Missiles

Defence sources have announced a remarkable achievement of the weapon development of India’s Ballistic Missile Defence system, which has two different layers. On this Sunday night, an interceptor missile test was successfully conducted off the Odisha coast.

The sources also added that Abdul Kalam Island, which was previously regarded as Wheeler Island of the Integrated Test Range (ITR), was the place of the interceptor launch at around 8.05 pm.

According to a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist, the purpose of that Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV) was to engage the targets into the exo-atmosphere. The target’s height was around 50 km higher than the atmosphere of the earth.

DRDO sources also said that:

In an automatic operation, the enemy's ballistic missile was successfully detected and tracked by radar-based detection and tracking system. Then the trajectory of the incoming ballistic missile is predicted by computer network basing on the data transmitted from radars. When the computer system gave the command for lift-off, the PDV which was maintained 100% ready immediately took off.
The sources also added that a Inertial Navigation System (INS) which is very precise, along with the help of a Redundant Micro Navigation System will together move to the direction of predicted point of the interception. These two will also be the navigator of the interceptor.

As the mission computer had already planned, after the missile went over the atmosphere, the Heat Shield would separate itself and the IR Seeker dome would open to view the target location.

The Inertial Guidance, along with the IR Seeker were the support for the missile to intercept. The Telemetry/Range Stations watched all mentioned events carefully at every stage and from different places. The examined test of the Interceptor from the same location was carried out successfully on February 11, 2017.
