Well the US just sanctioned the development of LGM-35 Sentinel ICBM - its future ground based deterrence through 2075. Russia doing the same with RS-28 Sarmat...both conventional missile systems with MIRVs, not unlike existing Minuteman-III and R-36 Satan. Whether these MIRVs will be replaced...

Nice chart on where everything falls in the US terminology as of 2017: HGVs are too shaky at the moment as a definitive system on which deterrence can be built. They are in the same league as Railguns which everyone thought would be the future and that fizzled out because they are too...

Two other 8x8 AFVs are under development seems like, in addition to the Kestrel/WhAP that's already been made by Tata & VRDE. Mahindra Defence: L&T Defence (pic is supposedly of them): @Nilgiri

Basically seems to be the naval version of their Sudarshan land-based AD gun also shown at DEFEXPO-22:

You're right - Block-2 is more in league of SM-3 and AD-2 as well. AD-1 is only comparable to Block-1NT or SM-6. Depends. If the launch platform (ship) happens to be in the right spot, SM-3 can take out any missile in the boost/ascent phase (including ICBM), but so can any other missile of...

I would describe the AD-1 as roughly equivalent to the Aster-30 Block-1NT/Block-2 and SM-6. It would form the lower rung of the BMD Phase-II program with regard to range & altitude, and will primarily be aimed at intercepting missile threats inside the atmosphere. The higher rung would be formed...

India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Wednesday successfully conducted the maiden flight test of phase-II Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) interceptor AD-1 missile with a large kill altitude bracket off the Odisha coast. All components of the BMD weapon system that were...

I would say its in Turkish interest to keep these two out of NATO. If for no other reason then just to send the message that unwarranted interference in another country's affairs will carry consequences.

MDL expects a firm order in its pocket in about 5 years. It's still in conceptual stage. So we should commission the first ship in mid-2030s probably. Looking at this design, its primary role will be to provide AAW & BMD cover to Carrier Groups and/or Surface Task Forces. Hard to imagine any...

Well, it was Boris that originally wanted it.

He'll need to raise about £40 billion from somewhere. NHS, Defence...something is going on the chopping block. The markets seem happy though: https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/view-rishi-sunak-set-become-new-uk-pm-pound-wobbles-2022-10-24/ The FTA with India (which was to be UK's second...

Analyst Prasun K. Sengupta's take on India's Rudram family of Anti-Radiation Missiles (ARMs) and their unique use-cases: "While the Rudram-1 NG-ARM is meant for destroying X-band target engagement radars of ground-based SHORADS, the Rudram-2 NG-ARM is meant for neutralising the L-band & S-band...
