New Delhi: India possesses one of the most advanced and capable defense systems in the world. In contrast, Pakistan’s repeated assertions about countering India’s defense capabilities are widely viewed as unsubstantiated and lack credibility. Alongside the S-400 air defense system, India possesses several other systems capable of neutralizing any Pakistani attack — whether it involves cruise missiles or ballistic missiles. Any ballistic missile launched by Pakistan to deliver a nuclear bomb can be targeted and destroyed.

Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system:

India possesses an advanced Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system. They are typically used in nuclear attacks, and this defense system acts as a protective shield against them. The Prithvi Defense Vehicle (PDV) is a formidable weapon against fighter aircraft, drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles. It can track and destroy targets at altitudes of up to 40,000 feet while still in the air. It becomes operational within just 10 minutes.

Here are some of the key details:

  • India possesses an advanced Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system.
  • They are typically used in nuclear attacks, and this defense system acts as a protective shield against them.
  • The Prithvi Defense Vehicle (PDV) is a formidable weapon against fighter aircraft, drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles.
  • It can track and destroy targets at altitudes of up to 40,000 feet while still in the air.
  • It becomes operational within just 10 minutes.
  • In addition to intercepting missile attacks, it is also capable of launching retaliatory strikes.
  • Using radar and missiles, it can shoot down Pakistani fighter jets, bombers, surveillance aircraft, and drones from a distance of up to 400 kilometers.
  • This ₹40,000 crore deal was finalized in 2018.

It was in the year 1996, India’s missile defense program began. Israel developed a radar system capable of tracking enemy missiles, known as the Long Range Tracking Radar or Swordfish. It can detect missiles from Pakistan or China up to 300 km away. In February 2017, India tested the Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV). This is a new missile tracking system, launched immediately after detection, and is similar to the American THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system. Its advanced air defense system is considered highly effective and accurate.

India also possesses a mobile missile defense system. It includes short-range surface-to-air missiles. The name of the system is the 9K33 OSA AK anti-aircraft system. In India, a team of five soldiers operates this system and launches the missiles. Its range is reported to be between 15 and 18 kilometers. These missiles can eliminate enemy targets at a speed of 3,704 km/h. The missiles are mounted on 17.5-ton BMP vehicles.

This MRSAM, or Barak 8 missile system, is lethal. This air defense system—Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MR-SAM) Barak 8—has been jointly developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) and Israel. The system can intercept subsonic and supersonic missiles, fighter jets, patrol aircraft, helicopters, and missiles launched from the sea.
