My obsession with a Shourya or PDV type Boost phase ABM is only with respect to pakis.Since their whole breadth of their territory is no more than 400 kms,it gives us the best shot to hit thier BMs during boost phase with our hypersonic interceptors.
A boost phase interceptor in Indian arsenal W.R.T Pakis will virtually nuetralize their nuclear deterence.And thier CM`s which are sub-sonic and most likely have to fly either over the plains on our western side or through kashmiri mountain regions can be nuetralised with air-bourne or blimp type advanced warning radars.
All I want to see is...... that facial expression on the faces of porkis ,when they came to know that thier billion dollars worth nuclear weapons will lay useless when Indian ABM`s stand guard <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Since its a chain reaction in the neighbourhood, the phobia will be passed onto chinks.
The moment porkis nuclear arsenal becomes useless,our forces can go on a ride into porki land considering that no single piece of indian land will be hit by a porki nuclear warhead in responsive action.
If you want to tame the dragon? first have to cut its wings(porkistan).

1. Pakistanis and Chinese may launch conventional ballistic missiles on India, initially !! India has to be careful about retaliating with nukes. We do have nuclear radiation detectors.
2. If a nuke is launched and even if we manage to intercept it with ABMs and also find out that it is a nuke, India would retaliate with nukes.
3. It doesn't have to be Indian civilians. Even if Indian troops are targeted with low yield battlefield nukes, We may retaliate with nukes.
4. I did hear somewhere that if Pakistan uses nukes against India, China would also be held responsible for supplying nuke materials and missiles and targeted.
5. Pakistan would not just depend on ballistic nuclear missiles. They could drop nukes from air (Nuclear bombs and Nuclear capable RAAD cruise missiles ALCM), launch from sea (Babur cruise missiles with nuke warheads). Pakistanis don't need a nuclear submarine to do that. China may throw nuclear capable DH-10 long range cruise missiles at us
6. If Pakistan or China decides to use nukes then it would be massive. If they launch 100 nukes at us, at the same time, we may have to launch large number of ABMs at it.Indian ABMs have to be mass produced. I hope there would not be any interference from both external (foreign firms) and internal lobby (retired officers, media) groups to prevent mass production.
Since we are talking about nukes here, we cannot just assume that we can intercept whatever our enemies throw at us, then go home and sleep peacefully. We should pray that it (nuclear war) never happens, at least in our life time.
