while land launched Ashwin protects key cities and installations, aircraft mounted ones having longer ranges can increase the size of the protection bubble and also be redeployed quickly
Another observation is, there seems to be lot of similarities between reaction jets on Agni RV with the ones seen on space based interceptors, anyways, if long range radars are an issue for accurate mid course interception, isn't that an issue for ASAT weapons as well?
unrelated to the above,
similar to wind tunnels simulating mach nos, can the atmospheric reentry conditions be used to simulate the blast wave of a nuclear explosion with reentry speed modulating Kt (albeit with no radioactivity)?
