If I may answer,

1. Definately not an Arrow, also means that this is not the final configuration. A solid fuel missile is a must. All the 'Prithvi' tests for the last year or so may actually tests of interceptor.

2. Its not Hit-to Kill, but uses blast effect to destroy the missile.

3. Now I have trouble with explanation that actual interception being beyond visible range, may be to naked eye but definately not to a telescope or even to a normal TV camera. There are numerous pics of Arrow interception (although height is interception not given). Even the there are pics of booster rockets separating from the shuttle..so its not the height which is the reason.

Added later,

In case of space shuttle, the booster rockets separate at a height of 45 Km and here is pic of it taken with a normal canon with 500 mm lens.

How about posting the picture? So far all we've seen is the target missile.

Then as said it is "cutted" out, anyways second steps should be to get HTK done by any means and stuffs, nonetheless this thing is a good 3-4 years away from completion.

yep archer isnt the pic in tht magazine? y dont u save it seperately and post. i doubt if there will be any clear cut picture as of now.
