Bharat's DRDO conducted maiden flight test of Phase-II Ballistic Missile Defence Interceptor known as “AD-1 Missile" from APJ Abdul Kalam Island, off coast of Odisha on 2 Nov.
Believe me...It's a Great Feat!
Read the full thread to feel Proud of DRDO & our Govt!

AD-1 is “Track & Shoot in Air” system!
AD-1 Missile has ability to intercept targets within range of 5,000 km.
The system can detect incoming missiles and shoot them down in the air. In Phase 1 of BMD, DRDO developed ability to destroy missiles within a range of 2,000 km”
2/17
So is it only about extension of ability from 2000 Km to 5000 Km that I am happy about?
Ofcourse No!!
The AD-1 Interceptor is ENDO-atmospheric & LOW EXO-atmospheric component of Bharat's Phase-II BMD programme.
(3/17)
So now....What is ENDO-atmospheric Missiles?
Let me explain!
An Endo-atmospheric missile is one that intercepts Enemy Missiles within the earth's atmosphere, i.e. at an altitude below 100 kilometers.
(4/17)
In simple terms...Any Ballistic Missile when launched,1st goes up high in air & then comes down at massive speed to hit target.
If such Missile can go upto highest of 100 kms in atmosphere, it's
comparatively Easy to Track & Destroy in Air with ENDO-atmospheric Missile.
5/17
So am I happy with AD-1 because of it's ability to act as Endo-atmospheric Missile?
Ofcourse Not! I don't get happy SO Easily!!
AD-1 is Endo-atmospheric AS WELL AS Exo-atmospheric Interceptor Missile!!
6/17
So Now what is Exo-atmospheric Interceptor Missile?
There are certain Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles developed by ONLY Russia, US, China, France, UK, North Korea & BHARAT which don't go upto only 100 kms in Atmosphere.
7/17
These Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles go upto 130-150 kms beyond Earth's Atmosphere to re-enter atmosphere at massive speed to hit target.
In short....they enter SPACE to re-enter Earth's atmosphere.
And these are TOO DIFFICULT to Track & Destroy!!!
8/17
BUT NOW....Bharat has developed INDIGENOUS Technology to Track & Destroy EVEN THOSE Missiles which enter from Space with it's OWN AD-1 Interceptor Missile System which includes Exo-atmospheric Missiles ALSO!!
9/17
AD-1 is Especially designed to intercept Chinese Missiles DF-16,DF-17 & DF-21 with Aircraft Manoeuvring at long range.
Today,China's Xi is pulling hair out of frustration as Bharat has answer for his Missiles,but he doesn't have any for Bharat's Prithvi Ballistic Missiles.
10/17
And mind you..Bharat is ONLY 3rd Nation to have this technology. Other 2 are US & Russia. EVEN Israel, France don't have it..Forget China!!
And I don't even consider फालतू Pakistan or Turkey when I say "Nations"!
Isn't it a reason to be Proud of our DRDO & our Modi Govt?
11/17
Again let me remind you that Bharat has already successfully conducted A-SAT (Anti-Satellite)Launch Test in March 19.
A-SAT enables Bharat to destroy Enemy's Low-Orbit Satellites which are used to track precise locations before launching Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles
12/17
FYI...Pakistan DOESN'T even have own Satellite & uses Chinese Satellites which Bharat can easily destroy in case of War leaving Enemy blindfolded!
It's amusing how much Bharat has built up it's Defence Strength since May-2014!!
Let me mention ONLY imp ones to save time!
13/17
Just take a look what Bharat has TODAY!!
1. A-SAT
2. Endo & Exo-atmospheric Interceptors(AD-1)
3. S-400
4. Ballistic Nuclear Missile System (Prithvi)
5. Advanced Air Defence
6. Akash Missile System
7. Anti-drone System
8. Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C Aircrafts)
14/17
9. long-range tracking radar specifically developed to counter ballistic missile threat (Swordfish)
10. Satellite System which can even block Signals from Bharat's Defence Assets (KAUTILYA)
Modi Govt + DRDO + ISRO have made Bharat to take on any Space War in future!!
(15/17)
And I will give FULL CREDIT for this to ONLY PM Modi & his Govt!!
चाटुकारs who will try to quote that Credit needs to be given to earlier UPA Govt too...must know that UPA made ISRO & DRDO cry for every single penny while looting Lakhs Crores for personal benefits.
(16/17)
It's ONLY & ONLY PM Modi who hasn't put ANY Budget Constraints on ISRO-DRDO & who's stood Rock Solid with them even in Failures!
It's ONLY & ONLY PM Modi who hasn't shied away in acquiring required Defence Assets including Aircrafts & Nuke-submarines!
IT'S A NEW BHARAT!
