SEAD is as important as air superiority. SAMS are very deadly and need to be taken outfirst. Brahmos has 400km range and can take out enemy radars and SAMs even before the plane needs to come in range of the SAM or any protecting aircrafts. Also, understand that no one can maintain aircover...

We here refers to sane people. No one uses cruise missiles for long range strike, especially first strike. First strike will have to evade SAMs and air defence. The so called complete stealth doesn't apply to cruise missiles as when missiles travel at a speed of 0.6Mach, it will generate air...

We use ballistic missiles to hit long range targets, not cruise missiles

If Nirbhay travels just 650km with 1.5 ton weight, yes it can be turbojet. But, if the range is 1000km+ with 1.2 ton missile and 300kg, it is impossible to be turbojet. Your C705 has 320kg missile +120kg warhead for 140km range. But as weight of missile increases, the range per kg will...

You are quoting anti ship missiles that have range of 1km for every 4-5 kg of missile weight. I was speaking of long range subsonic missile. All your missiles has 700kg weight and 150km range! I made an obvious mistake - i said that turbojet is impossible for subsonic missile. Reality is that...

Be clear that the air viscosity depends on Mach number. Mach is a natural phenomenon and hence is prioritised. Planes also have varying maximum speed at different altitude. Plane speed is also not fixed. They are just approximate speeds stated. It is indeed convenient to use kmph but that too...

Mach is speed of sound. It is the same definition everywhere. It can change its value at different temperatures and altitude. Mach at sea level at 25 degree celsius in 1224kmph. At 30000-35000 feet altitude it is 1030kmph. Speed of sound is not constant

Yeah cruise missile turbofan is so difficult that USA just gave away the technology to Japan, Korea, Turkey. Even Pakistan could make BABUR missile.

Tomahawk uses turbofan engine of 3-4kN thrust

Turbojet can't be used on subsonic cruise missile. Turbojet and turbofan are extremely different. Turbojet is you traditional jet motor which uses solid fuel and solely relies on the thrust from the fuel ejection to fly. Due to this, high speed can be achieved by keeping such kind of fuel that...

So, speed is 800kmph on average. 647km/0.83hr = 800kmph. But the range is disappointing. It is similar to babur

Which engine was used? Which engine is better? Is there any material regarding Pros and cons of turbofan vs turbojet for cruise missiles? The way I see it, turbojet is fuel inefficient but gives high speed while turbofan is fuel efficient and gives subsonic speeds. Turbojet is fit for...

Crashed? I hope presstitutes don't give another spin by confusing people with terminology. I hope DRDO will use better words that can't be spun

At 800kmph, 1.5 hours is more than enough for 1000km. We must already have a result by 12:00.

Pakistan got it by reverse engineering Tomahawk. Isn't doing the same with Kalibr, a better idea?

Applies only for ballistic missiles. Cruise missiles need not be announced

Developmental tests are not something people announce as these are not meant for showcasing capability but to get a better understanding of the working. Only the tests of missiles that are done in a routine manner or that has completed development are to be announced to showcase the capability...
