Time for rudram to prove itself.
Genrols desired rudram 1 with very fast burn rate motor to shorten the time resulting a very fast missile in order to shorten engagement time. At cost of reduced range.
While russkies and chinks have ramjet powered which can do both long range cruising as well as short range at higher speeds. While Americans prefered there harm with not so fast sustained boost burn rate. there 470kg missile delivers 300km range.
While as per public information rudram goes upto 150-200km which weighs around 600kg. Has much larger dual pulsed motor.
It should hit anything ~300km with descent speed & beyond. However in ranges upto 150-200km it would penetrate anything & turn into ash.
However given Pakis sam system induction they do have multilayered missile with ranges varieing from 40km,125km to 250-300km(chinese s300 equivalent,). missiles could be deployed much ahead of radars. So yeah it isn't like rudram 1 can't engage them but it's effectiveness won't be as much as we would expect let's see how it goes if we choose to test. In large number we would still definitely turn there radars into ash. But the question is do we have enough of them ?
For this purpose rudram 2 is being developed.
We haven't factored jamming. it is multilayered network of sam still jamming could deteriorate there performance depending on the extent theof jammers are brought in.
While Pakis don't posses any significant anti radiation capability.
