Chinese Military Specialist : Indo-Israeli LR-SAM will Outshoot the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean

Chinese are fully aware that their Navy stands no chance against the Indian Navy in the Indian Ocean Region and that is why they did not dare to confront it during the Maldives crisis. The Chinese convoy turned tail right after crossing the Sunda straight.

With the strike range of BRAHMOS missile extended to 400 km and the new version of 800 km in the pipe line, every one has become aware of the increased strike capability of the Indian Navy. With the Sukhoi30 MKI mounted aerial versions of BRAHMOS becoming available, IAF will have the ability to hit a target coming towards the region when it is still more than 3500 km away from the Andamands or Lakshadweep.

Apart from this awesome strike capability According to Chinese Military specialist while speaking on Indian Naval Capabilities in a Military show hosted by state broadcaster CCTV channel, have also acknowledged the defensive capability of long-range surface to air missile (LRSAM) jointly developed by Israel and India. Indian Navy now has one of the key weapon system which can completely neutralise firepower of the People’s Liberation Army Navy which somehow escapes the wrath of aerial BRAHMOS and dares to enter and operate in the Indian ocean.

Advanced air and missile defence system joint development by IAI and DRDO have been designed specially to take down Chinese developed Sub-sonic cruise missiles in anti-ship role. Israel Navy Ship (INS) Hanit in 2006 was attacked while patrolling off the Lebanese coast with Chinese C-802 cruise missile which was supplied to Iranian forces but was smuggled to target Isreali Navy.

Israel and India joined hands to deal with emergence of Chinese Sub-sonic cruise missiles which have also been supplied to India’s arch-rival Pakistan in the region.

LRSAM is an advanced, long-range missile defense and air defense system which as many features such as Long Range interception, Two way data link (GPS S band),
Active Radar Seeker,
360 degree radar coverage,
Vertical Launch capability and
carry out Multiple Simultaneous Engagements.

According to Defence Experts, the missile system delivers an accurate, high quality, real-time arena situation picture and extracts low Radar Cross Section (RCS) targets even in thetoughest environmental conditions. It is a digital Active Electronic Steering Array (AESA) Radar System which incorporates new and advanced technologies.

The LRSAM missile system can operate by night as well as by day in addition to all weather conditions. It is capable of successfully dealing with simultaneous threats engagements, even in severe saturation scenarios.

The system has a very short reaction time and a fast missile vertical launch capability with 360 degree coverage. The system optimizes the coordination betweenthe missile and batteries by using an advanced broadband communication network.

According to Indian Navy LRSAM is capable of dealing with short, medium, and long range threats, where its inter connectivity among the various ships in the naval task force enables it to be a multi-layered air and missile defence System.
