In the screenshot I posted if you minus all other orders with total order(5198.10 crores), then the rest amount is around 358 crores. Yes, we won't get 100 missiles, may 10 or 20 or 30 max. But in my opinion this is LSP and this year they would ramp up production. The screenshot was of last financial years' order log.The Chinese BMD test was simulated, not real (at least as of yet).
When I say equivalent I mean in terms of kinematic capabilities i.e. range & altitude. The real juice of BMD lies in the software.
In the pic you posted of orders, the specific cost of AAD/PDV is not mentioned.
A single round of PAC-3 costs roughly $8 million, even if ours are only half that price per unit, with Rs. 358 Cr (~$40 million) you're talking about enough funds to buy about 10 of these missiles, let's say 5 AAD and 5 PDV rounds.
Do those numbers sound like something an operational BMD shield would be equipped with? Or do they sound like orders for additional rounds for continuing test launch programs?
For comparison, the Patriot system deployed in Saudi Arabia has an inventory of roughly 650 rounds of PAC-2.
@randomradio is damn right. Next year our Phase I BMD would become fully operational(may be even earlier). Anyways, partially it is already deployed.
