Indian Navy Developing Mach-7 Hypersonic PGLRSAM Interceptor Missile to Counter Pakistan's Newly Tested SMASH SLBM

The Pakistan Navy recently announced a successful test of its "indigenously developed Ship-Launched Ballistic Missile" (SLBM), named the SMASH SLBM or P282. This new missile reportedly has a range of 350 km and can strike land and sea targets with precision.

Equipped with advanced navigation systems and maneuverability features, the SMASH SLBM also possesses anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities, posing a potential threat to carrier groups and other strategic assets in the region.

However, Indian defence sources report that the Indian Navy has anticipated such developments and is actively enhancing its defensive capabilities with advanced interceptor technology.

Pakistani analysts suggest the SMASH SLBM is primarily designed to counter large naval formations, specifically targeting Indian aircraft carrier groups. Its precision targeting and advanced maneuverability enhance Pakistan's naval deterrence and expand its ability to deny access to its territorial waters.

While the SMASH SLBM represents a significant advancement in Pakistan's indigenous missile technology, a senior Indian Navy official assured that India has factored in these developments and is prepared to counter such threats.

The Indian Navy has already deployed its current generation of Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missiles (MR-SAM) on its warships, proven effective against supersonic and highly maneuverable missiles. Jointly developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Israel Aerospace Industries, the MR-SAM offers a defensive range of 90-100 kilometers.

To further bolster its naval defenses, the Indian Navy is developing a next-generation interceptor, the PGLRSAM. This advanced missile system is expected to significantly improve defensive range, with an interception capability exceeding 250 kilometers – more than double the current MR-SAM range.

Furthermore, the PGLRSAM is projected to achieve speeds of up to Mach 7, enabling it to intercept and neutralize a wider range of high-speed threats, including supersonic and hypersonic missiles. With these enhanced capabilities, the PGLRSAM is anticipated to engage and neutralize threats like the SMASH SLBM at a safe distance, effectively protecting Indian naval assets.

Absolutely true.. Pakistan is milking both, Amrika & China with India bogey in the front; Its us who don't see & realize it; Nowadays they have created 2 other bogeys of terror attacks from across Iran & Afghanistan borders.. Both these also fall under Amriki plan of hatred .. & Pakistan goes laughing;

Similar thing was done by Americans to counter USSR they America supported China with technology and funding but China grew up to become Anaconda and ready to humiliate America.

"neutralize hypersonic missile", joke of the day.

American patriots are claimed to have intercepted several Russian launched Kinzal hypersonic missiles .MRSAM is of similar capabilities and PGLRSAM can certainly be more advanced.

Pakistan achievements in advance technologies and efforts to maintain strategical balance in the South Asia is good omen for all the countries in the region. These deterences will keep India think thousands time before making any adventure against Pakistan. Thus it will provide opportunities to people in the region to prosperous together with enhancing regional cooperation in all sphere of life. As we we have observed since Pakistan developed Atomic deterences there's no war between India and Pakistan.

Khalid, you got it wrong. India is not looking for any military adventure. It is the jobless and 'no reason to exist' Pakistani military that is constantly needling India. If this continures for long, the day is not far, that all Pakistanis will rue the day that Pakistan was created. It is become the garbage dump of the world
