Indian Missile News And Discussion

[Guest]

The target missile is fired from the Chandipur on sea launch site, and the wheeler island is about 70 Km downstream. The target missile will again likely be a Prithvi.



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).



What sort of velocity would the target missile have if it were in the range of the AAD?



Or will the DRDO fire off the Prithvi on a depressed trajectory to a range of say 150 Km and the aad takes it out more like in a mid course?
