Second phase of Anti-ballistic Missile defense test with AD-1 missile. The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defence system to protect India from ballistic missile attacks. It was launched in 2000 after the Kargil War by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. [1]

The main purpose of Soviet-based cruise missiles was to have defense and offensive mechanisms against enemy ships; in other words, most of the Soviet cruise missiles were anti-ship missiles. In the 1980s the Soviet Union had developed an arsenal of cruise missiles nearing 600 platforms which consisted of land, sea, and air delivery systems.
A ballistic missile is a type of missile that uses projectile motion to deliver warheads on a target. These weapons are powered only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered. These weapons are powered only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered.
[6] [32] Given that the missile and canister were designated "LR-02," it's possible that this was India's second test. [33] Earlier, a report had suggested the test launch of a similar anti-ship ballistic missile that could target warships and aircraft carriers at long distances of over 1,000 km (620 mi). [34]
Development of nuclear weapons was followed by various missile programs in 70s with development of various ballistic, cruise, surface-to-air, anti- ballistic missile and orbital launch systems. India conducted its first nuclear test and initiated with Project Devil as an attempt to reverse engineer Soviet surface-to-air missile SA-2 Guideline ...
NASM–SR or Naval Anti-Ship Missile–Short Range is the first indigenous air-launched anti-ship missile being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation for the Indian Navy. [9] The missile is manufactured by Adani Defence & Aerospace under DcPP programme. [10] [11] NASM-SR features lock-on after launch with automatic ...
