[lalith prasad]

pac3 is lighter than arrow1 dont know about arrow2 but it is more prone to friendly fire(pac3) pac3 was also offered to india along with participation in the thaad project.i would also look into paams which has been evaluated by the navy (the indian navy intends to acquire them)

The lighter weight will not increase the capabilities of a missile. Arrow 2 has more range. Its more speedy. It should have heavier weight then PAC-3.

BTW, the PAC-2 can hit objects having very low RCS.

Military ponders missile defence

August 2

The Indian military leadership has taken its first step on ballistic missile defence. An inter-service committee, headed by a two-star officer, has been set up at the Integrated Defence Staff Headquarters for a detailed study on the technical and operational aspects of a missile defence cover for India, as also its cost implications.

This committee will submit its report to the Chiefs of Staff Committee, which will then consider the issue before making a relevant recommendation to the government.

Already, Israel is reported to have proposed that India join hands with it in the development of the Arrow missile defence system. The feasibility of this offer has been advanced by India's acquisition of Israeli-made radar and early warning systems.

India already has the Barak anti-missile system for point defence. It has also acquired the Greenpine ground-based early warning radars and finalised the deal for the Phalcon airborne early warning system. The Greenpines will also feed target data to the Phalcons. It remains to be seen whether these systems can eventually be integrated into an overarching missile defence cover.

if these report are all accurate which i don't doubt for a second. then i think Israel is going to use India as a testing bed for its technologies (similar to Pakistan-Afghan war when key american defense systems were used by PAK against Soviets) well nothing beats real event testing. they are removing the Nuke edge of China and pakistan and are trying to test as many systems against China. INdia has the funds and will to experiment further with the Israel's cutting edge TEch people.
