Cruise missile can be terrain following, giving them the ability to evade enemy radar in Mountainous regions and then there's the S - maneuvre and steep dive ability of the Brahmos that makes it a foe to be reckoned with.
No, Brahmos doesn't have the capability of terrain hugging.

Why do you think the PLAN didn't escalate in China: Brahmos regiment in Assam + local domination by mountain arty.
No, because Indian army didn't escalate in India either. Noticed those Indian soldiers crossed the border with empty hand. Same as Chinese soldiers. No matter what both sides said, neither side had intention to fight. 100 Brahmos is not a figure worth attention.

Exact opposite missiles like brahmos are sea skimming missiles only have 35 seconds to detect and deflect. Only major problem with hypersonic missiles is changing course mid flight.
Supersonic missiles could fly in lower altitude, but same can't be done by Hypersonic vehicles. They would have to fly at higher altitude in their cruise phase.

Its not funny, good example is Mars mission, which was on shoe string budget and it was sucessful. Not to forget China spend millions and didnt get it.
Mars mission exactly prove my point.
India's Mars mission did far little research work around Mars comparing to US, certainly, your budget was very smaller. And the Chinese budget on Mars at the time was even smaller than India: they didn't even get enough budget for their own rocket. The Chinese scientists were forced to ride on Russian Mar rocket.

If money is only criteria, then despite spending millions, China would have perfected the modern jet engine by now.
Again, you have absolute zero idea of costly these R&D could be. Millions dollars is just a nothing, add on another 3 zero, is still a peanut comparing to what American, British and Russian spent in last 70 years.

If anyone tell you that they can perfect jet engine with several billions dollars. They are lying.

I am neither kid, nor fanboy. What ever WU 14 or any other hypersonic glider you have tested, we perfected that tech in 2010.
Yes, you don't know what hypersonic glier is and why you can't test it on a K-15 like missile.

Even the BMD warhead for which you guys have given award, was perfected long ago.
Yes, we don't see a single Indian BMD system deployed long after you "Perfected" it.

Reality is you don't know a shit about these systems and even then blabbering here....

And who told you about terrain hugging capabilities of Brahmos...Putin, Modi or eleven ping....

bramhose is a terrain hugging and super cruise missile, which can fly according to the terrrain just meters above the ground, it has highest g maneovars and has a last phase of steep dive attack and s maneouvers to strike the targets behind the mountains hills, and buildings and also to avoid the last minute air defence systems.

Wow then what is the definition of a missile which flies as low as 10mts,has the most advance terrain following SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR seeker and can't be called terrain hugging.

In the link provided by you, where does it say anything about this "SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR" ? And flying as low as 10m?

Let's see what a subsonic cruise missile can do, such as Tomahawk. It can fly 5 meters altitude above sea level, but in the land attack, it must fly over at least 35m and then 150m in mountain area.

If the subsonic cruise missile can only make to this level, do you really believe a supersonic cruise (almost 3-4 times faster) can still manage the terrain hugging?

Instead of quoting such "sh***" logic... Talks like what engineers say... Screw Tomahawk it has Terrain contour mapping seeker, which is way inferior to X band SAR seeker..... X BAND SAR seeker are designed to do job better in supersonic than what Contour mapping seekers does in subsonic speed.... Supersonic missiles computers, it's seeker and its datalink are way more advance and faster than what it is on subsonic..... By the way BrahMos Naval version flies as low as 3-4mts above sea level and not mine but official website quote....

Or you answer my question first.

Very interesting, I have googled your magic X-BAND SAR, but can't find any source link it to Brahmos or terrain hugging. Do you mind providing your source?

Do you understand what is "Terrain Hugging" capability?

Lot of tech is develop for Brahmos NG, which is actually Brahmos Mini. This will be in trun go back to full Brahmos.

Now lets go back to topic of Hypersonic. World minus Russians has yet to catch us on supersonic cruise missile, that is operational in service.
