Now doesn't this sound like boost phase intercept because of the small distance involved? IIRC only one test off a sukanya class ship was a re-entry test (the test where supposedly both the PAD and the AAD were to be fired).
My friend Gagan, when you see that the interceptor was not launched by a mission control computer at 20 seconds of target/hostile flight, it DOES mean that it may not have been a boost phase destruction scenario after all.
