Thanks Arunji, in the scheme of things we have AAD (<30km), PAD (<80kms) and PDV (150-200kms)



PDV is supposed to be a 2 stage interceptor, so guess it would be the KV + AAD booster?



Chandragupta, hope you are correct, two things to say,



1) if I remember Arunji had stated earlier that even if a warhead is shot down in Pak airspace, it may not explode due to standard safety features carried by nukes, however it would be a nightmare if jihadis get hold of any fallen nuke material assuming it hasn't already burned up



2) AAD is currently at 1200kg, and based on Brahmos on the MKI, if the PDV is below 3000kg it can be carried by the MKI or any loitering bomber in addition to land/ship/sub launched Shourya ABM
