India possesses an advanced Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system. They are typically used in nuclear attacks, and this defense system acts as a protective shield against them.
New Delhi: India possesses one of the most advanced and capable defense systems in the world. In contrast, Pakistan's repeated assertions about countering India's defense capabilities are widely viewed as unsubstantiated and lack credibility. Alongside the S-400 air defense system, India possesses several other systems capable of neutralizing any Pakistani attack — whether it involves cruise missiles or ballistic missiles. Any ballistic missile launched by Pakistan to deliver a nuclear bomb can be targeted and destroyed.
Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system:
India possesses an advanced Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system. They are typically used in nuclear attacks, and this defense system acts as a protective shield against them. The Prithvi Defense Vehicle (PDV) is a formidable weapon against fighter aircraft, drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles. It can track and destroy targets at altitudes of up to 40,000 feet while still in the air. It becomes operational within just 10 minutes.
Here are some of the key details:
India possesses an advanced Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system.
They are typically used in nuclear attacks, and this defense system acts as a protective shield against them.
The Prithvi Defense Vehicle (PDV) is a formidable weapon against fighter aircraft, drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles.
It can track and destroy targets at altitudes of up to 40,000 feet while still in the air.
It becomes operational within just 10 minutes.
In addition to intercepting missile attacks, it is also capable of launching retaliatory strikes.
Using radar and missiles, it can shoot down Pakistani fighter jets, bombers, surveillance aircraft, and drones from a distance of up to 400 kilometers.
This ₹40,000 crore deal was finalized in 2018.
It was in the year 1996, India's missile defense program began. Israel developed a radar system capable of tracking enemy missiles, known as the Long Range Tracking Radar or Swordfish. It can detect missiles from Pakistan or China up to 300 km away. In February 2017, India tested the Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV). This is a new missile tracking system, launched immediately after detection, and is similar to the American THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system. Its advanced air defense system is considered highly effective and accurate.
India also possesses a mobile missile defense system. It includes short-range surface-to-air missiles. The name of the system is the 9K33 OSA AK anti-aircraft system. In India, a team of five soldiers operates this system and launches the missiles. Its range is reported to be between 15 and 18 kilometers. These missiles can eliminate enemy targets at a speed of 3,704 km/h. The missiles are mounted on 17.5-ton BMP vehicles.
This MRSAM, or Barak 8 missile system, is lethal. This air defense system—Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MR-SAM) Barak 8—has been jointly developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) and Israel. The system can intercept subsonic and supersonic missiles, fighter jets, patrol aircraft, helicopters, and missiles launched from the sea.

Not Chinese F-35 fighter jet, Pakistan working on dangerous 'invisible weapon', it is..., Asim Munir's dangerous plan is...
New Delhi: Pakistan is increasing its military strength after the conflict with India from 7-10 May this year. Pakistan, which failed to face India's attacks during Operation Sindoor, wants to avoid such a situation in future. In such a situation, the Pakistan Army is working on new plans. Till now it was being told in the Pakistani media that the Pakistan Army is working on strengthening its air defense and increasing the purchase of fighter planes from China. Now it has come to light that the Pakistani Army is working on creating an invisible network. Which weapon is Pakistan working on? Pakistan's defense website quwa has revealed in a report that the next big military project of the Pakistani Army is not around fighter aircraft but it is on creating an invisible network. The report says that the future of air power does not depend only on the speed, technology and weapon carrying capacity of the fighter aircraft. More important than this is the ability to sense the danger in time and take action first. What is Unseen Defence Network? The report says that the focus of the Pakistani Army is on creating an unseen defence network, which will help strengthen air defence. However, this will be extremely challenging for military planners. It will not be easy for the army to communicate and cooperate seamlessly during wartime, when an electromagnet strike can surprise at any time. This is the most important tension of modern air warfare. The Pakistani Army says that for effectiveness in the battlefield, broadcasting and networking huge amounts of sensor data across dozens of assets will have to be done and working with low electromagnet field profiles will have to be done. It should be invisible to the enemy's vigilant electronic support. Any aircraft or system that makes noise can face difficulty. What do experts say? The report says that there is a need to emphasize the technical and strategic imperative behind the development of the next generation tactical datalink (TDL). It is not just an upgrade of technology, but it is about creating an entirely new language of war. Pakistani defense experts believe that this is necessary for the country's Air Force (PAF) and defense industry to remain a credible army.

India hit Pak N-warheads depot Kirana Hills during Op Sindoor, claims OSINT expert
There is satellite imagery to suggest that India hit Pakistan's Kirana Hills, one of the storehouses of the country's nuclear warheads, according to renowned OSINT expert Damien Symon. However, replying to a query, Symon suggested that the image indicates it was a warning strike without any subterranean impact or the mini-war between India and Pakistan in May, India's retaliatory strikes, including those at Nur Khan airbase in Chaklala, made Islamabad call for a Indian military rejected that it had targeted Kirana Hills in Sargoda district of Pakistan's Punjab province. It is believed that reinforced caves within the mountains are one of the sites of where the Pakistani military stores its nuclear warhead."We have not hit Kirana Hills, whatever is there. I did not brief in my briefing yesterday," said Air Marshal AK Bharti on May 12 responding to a question from a journalist during a tri-services Symon shared Google Earth an image of Sargodha region of Pakistan that he claimed were from updated June 2025, saying that it showed the "impact location of India's strike on Kirana Hills in May 2025". Symon is a geo-intelligence researcher and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) expert known for his work at The Intel is widely recognised for analysing satellite imagery and publicly available data to verify or debunk claims related to conflict zones, particularly in the India-Pakistan region."Imagery update from Google Earth of the Sargodha region, Pakistan, captured in June 2025, shows -1 - the impact location of India's strike on Kirana Hills in May 2025. 2 - repaired runways at Sargodha airbase post India's strikes in May 2025," Symon posted on X on July 18.A user asked Symon if the scar indicated it was a deep strike."No, this along with earlier imagery, neither indicate any subterranean impact or penetration, it's just one side of a hill with nothing of value in its immediate vicinity, must've been a warning strike on India's part, tunnels etc are further away & don't show any damage," replied media was abuzz with chatter on how Kirana Hills might have been hit in Operation Sindoor. Handles have shared images, videos and maps claiming a blast at the Kirana Hills in showed dense plumes of smoke rising from the base of the rugged Kirana Hills. But high-resolution satellite imagery was by India Today's OSINT team placed the smoke near the hills, based on the footage posted on the day of the IS OSINT EXPERT DAMIEN SYMON?Operating under the handle @detresfa on X, Symon has garnered attention for exposing disinformation, such as manipulated images and false claims by Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) during India's Operation Sindoor in May work includes confirming damage to Pakistani military installations, like the Sargodha airbase, and debunking fabricated narratives, such as doctored images of Indian uses tools like LANDSAT, KawaSpace, and MazarVision imagery to provide verifiable evidence, contributing to discussions on digital disinformation and military KIRANA HILLS HIT UNDER OPERATION SINDOOR?While the Mushaf airbase in Sargodha was confirmed as one of India's missile targets, Air Marshal Bharti denied reports of any strike on the facility at Kirana two sites are barely seven kilometres carried out strikes on terror camps inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) on May 7 after Pakistani terrorists on April 22 killed 26 people in Kashmir's Pakistan targeted Indian military and civilian sites, India struck 11 military sites deep inside Pakistan, using precision targets included critical airbases in Rafiqui, Murid, Nur Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, Chunian, Pasrur, and Sialkot, according to India's Ministry of attack on Nur Khan military base near Rawalpindi, the headquarters of Pakistan's military establishment, is the most strike on Nur Khan airbase in Chaklala, near Rawalpindi, was significant as it lies in close proximity to the headquarters of the Strategic Plans Division, the body overseeing Pakistan's nuclear New York Times quoted a former US official familiar with Pakistan's nuclear programme, noting, "Pakistan's deepest fear is of its nuclear command authority being decapitated. The missile strike on Nur Khan could have been interpreted... as a warning that India could do just that."Satellite imagery also indicated a strike on the runway of Mushaf airbase in Sargodha with loitering munitions. This base is reportedly linked to underground nuclear storage sites beneath the Kirana strikes at Nur Khan and Sargodha were meant to indicate India's capability to neutralise Pakistan's nuclear arsenal in case of further escalation in the called Pakistan's nuclear bluff with its attack during Op target sites and videos on social media gave a boost to the buzz that Kirana Hills had been hit in an indicative attack, revealing India's strike capability. Though Indian military denied there was any attack, OSINT expert Damien Symon has now claimed that Google Earth images, updated in June, indicate Kirana Hills in Sargodha region were hit in a "warnig strike".- EndsMust Watch

Pakistan still crying days after Operation Sindoor, fired 840 missiles at India but failed to..., Pakistani weapons exposed due to...
New Delhi: India broke the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor and the action of the Indian forces was so precise and strong that it would be difficult for the terrorists hiding in Pakistan to carry out organized terror attacks. The action of the Indian Armed Forces in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22 once again proved India's edge over Pakistan. What was India's plan? During the military confrontation between India and Pakistan, the Indian Air Force not only wreaked havoc on the terrorist structures present in Pakistan and PoK, but it also targeted Pakistan's military bases. India targeted 11 airbases of Pakistan, including the very important Rahim Yar Khan and Sargodha airbase located near Pakistan's nuclear bases. Pakistan fired hundreds of drones and missiles over India during this confrontation, but all proved useless in front of the Indian air defense system. What happened to Pakistani missiles? According to an HT report, after the action of Indian forces on terrorist structures, Pakistan fired at least 840 missiles on India in response but not even a single missile could hit Indian installations. Most were shot down in the air, while some fell in open fields. There are also reports of some Pakistani missiles failing. Pakistan was completely helpless against India At the same time, Pakistan's air defense system HQ-9 acquired from China proved to be completely unsuccessful in stopping India's missiles. The Indian Scalp, Rampage or Crystal Maze missiles fired at the Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters in Muridke and Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur hit their targets accurately and destroyed them. The destruction of these terror structures is clearly visible in satellite images. Pakistan's air defense proved completely helpless as Indian drones targeted them in Lahore. Such was the extent of damage on the Pakistani side that their Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that Pakistan did not deploy its air defense system deliberately, otherwise India could have come to know about its location.
