Kalia_Test Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 link Some good use of money I would say and really required. Hopefully all our major cities (>5 million population ) will be covered eventually - Delhi, Mumbai/Pune,Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad,etc. Need some innovative ways to fund this through foreign investments and generating local employment so that real cost is less. Since this is just for security ( very vital though ), there will not be direct economic benefit. Hence we need indirect benefits and also ways to cover costs by :- 1. Providing local employment and source as much raw material from within India. 2. Developing Technology to build such capabilities for other friendly nations so that we get some revenue from this investment later. Modi Sarkar has taken the first real step in giving India's capital city, Delhi, a security cover that cities such as Beijing and Washington already have — a nuclear missile shield. When completed, the shield will be able to intercept missiles fired from as far as 5,000 km away. Senior government officials familiar with the matter told ET placing the radars is the beginning of an accelerated process in creating a missile cover for major Indian cities. The next Indian city to be covered is Mumbai Major cities around the world such as Washington, Beijing, Paris, London and Tel Aviv all have missile shields Officials say the Modi government's view is that given the growing sophistication of nuclear arsenal in India's neighbourhood, the lack of a missile defence system was a major security gap. The missile shield is even more critical for India given its 'no first use' policy for nuclear weapons, a doctrine that Pakistan doesn't follow. A major project cleared by the Modi government in its first months in power was to approve setting up a $1-billion facility in DRDO to manufacture vital seeker systems. Seeker systems direct missiles in the final phase of targeting. The facility, expected to come up near Hyderabad, is critical for missile shield.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 good.Pakistani missiles cant cover East and Southern India.But Nuclear shield is important for North And West India.
