Can India extend the range of BRAHMOS as and when required ?

Can India extend the range of BRAHMOS as and when required ?

No other then playing with the payload.
Eg:0 kg warhead =1500km range...maybe

 

[sesha_maruthi27]

Is Nirbhay based on the design of BRAHMOS?

 

[Payeng]

@sesha_maruthi27 Nope.

No other then playing with the payload.
Eg:0 kg warhead =1500km range...maybe

0kg or 300Kg ...Range is only 300KM

 

[Kunal Biswas]

They already did with 500km range PJ-10..

With modification longer range can be archived..

1. Guidance modification
2. Structural modifications ( Fuel tanks, Light weight CL-20 explosive warheads, etc )

But as of now, Nirbahy CM is design for longer range and PJ-10 is medium range CM..

Can India extend the range of BRAHMOS as and when required ?
