Ballistic Missile Defence Systems

What kinds of weapons Iran used to strike Israel on Tuesday night? Iran has an arsenal of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, which have been used in the recent past to target Israel.

India on Wednesday successfully flight-tested Phase-II Ballistic Missile Defence System from off the Odisha coast, the government said in a statement.

"This hypersonic ballistic missile was developed to counter air defence shields," Hajizadeh said, quoted by Iran's Fars news agency.

In a major capability boost, India can now destroy incoming enemy ballistic missiles fired at it from 5,000 km with the successful test firing of the AD-1 missile launched for the first time on Wednesday off the Odisha coast.

North Korea's latest satellite launches can be used both for spy satellites and in a massive intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of launching multiple nuclear warheads, analysts have said.

Pakistan Army on Thursday successfully test-fired the short range surface-to-surface ballistic missile ''Nasr'' which it claimed can defeat any ballistic missile defence system now available in the country's neighbourhood or any other system being developed.

Noting that that Russian-made S-400 Triumf missile system is one of the most advanced air defence systems, Eastern Air Command Chief, Air Marshal Raghunath Nambiar on Friday said India is also developing systems to defend itself against ballistic missiles of more capability.

Pakistan said today that India's decision to buy S-400 missile defence system from Russia will further destabilise stability in the region and renewed the arms race. In a statement, the Foreign Office said the Indian purchase was part of its efforts to acquire a Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) System through multiple sources.

India successfully conducted an interceptor missile test off the Odisha coast today, achieving a major milestone in developing a two-layer Ballistic Missile Defence system, the defence sources said.

India's acquisition of the state-of-the art Russian S-400 ballistic missile shield could come at the cost of getting access to cutting-edge US military equipment like Predator drones.

India today successfully test-fired its short-range nuclear capable ballistic missile Agni-I with a strike range of over 700 km. The missile test was done from a test range off the Odisha coast, defence sources said.

An interceptor missile streaks towards its target - a ballistic missile - Star Wars style, and scores a direct hit. NDTV has accessed footage of India's successful test on Thursday of an indigenous ballistic missile system. The missile was guided towards the incoming ballistic missile by a series of ground-based radars before activating its own see...

India today successfully tested a "Star Wars"-like system of an incoming enemy missile being destroyed by another missile. India has become the fourth country in the world to master the technology of hitting a missile with a missile. In the test carried out at 9:45 am from Wheeler Island off the coast of Odisha, a direct hit destroyed an incoming h...

Japan formally decided on Tuesday it would expand its ballistic missile defence system with U.S.-made ground-based Aegis radar stations and interceptors in response to a growing threat from North Korean rockets

The United States plans to carry out a new test of its THAAD missile defence system against an intermediate-range ballistic missile in the coming days, two US officials told Reuters on Friday, as tensions with North Korea climb.
