It seems like we are just a few stages behind the US in the field of BMD. So radar range needs to be upgraded and targeting longer range missiles. The US is currently experimenting on how to intercept MIRVs. Could we reach that stage in 4 years?

Dr Saraswat seems to suggest in the Shakti TV interview that we are thinking along these lines for MIRV kills. He talks about Agni V CM and his thought process on such measures from the Indian BMD system. India is developing both its BMD and Ballistic missiles together. So it's almost unlike any other country. America would have lost it's expertise as people have moved on in life after developing the Ballistic missiles in the 80's. It will still be in manuals. Some of those scientists may today be in executive positions others retired and out of the look. So it's all there on paper. So India has an advantage here. They can catch up rapidly.
