So, the way of you thing is just assuming that the ship's sensor is not working? Good, have people like you, who need an enemy. Your argument is flawed: the engines are used to drive the plane and the transporter is 10 times heavier than the figher jet. In our case. the ship sensor and missile...

No, turning on time of the seeker has more impact on missile than EW suit of destroyer. After all, some of countermeasures don't rely on the capture of the signal of seekers. On the other hand, the seeker need certan of time to lock the target and counter the diversion, the missile also need...

On the contrast, there is no reason to believe that a missile's seeker can be better than a radar mounted on the ship UNLESS THERE IS A HUGE TECH GAP BETWEEN THEM, such as American seeker vs Iran radar. With same or similar tech level, ship's radar has much more power supply, more...

Now, I can see that I did hurt someone's gut.

First of all, Iran's C802 is a sub-sonic cruise missile exported by Chinese in last 1990s, the working environment of its sensor is lot easier than sensor on the supersonic missile. So, there is no direct logic link Chinese sensor and Russian sensor.. Secondly, the Russian sensor is VERY GOOD...

Where did I say that? I simply point out such the weakness of such kind of weapon. If you check my past comment about DF-21, you can see that I was always doubtful about the efficiency of DF-21.

You don't understand what I am talking about. Every anti-ship got a terminal seeker, the faster the missile flies, the more challenges to the seeker. One issue is the background noise and enemy's countermeasure. The seeker need to filter all these but the real target. when you travel 3 times...

Don't forget the fleet air defense circle is built by several destroyers, when the missile is in the radar blind area of one destroyer, it is actually covered by the radars of other destroyers.

Actually not, when missile is sea skimming with 3 times faster speed, the processing speed of the electronic component must be 3 times faster than that on the subsonic missile. Consider other factors, such as background noise, the maneuvering, etc, etc, this kind of weapon is ease to lost their...

Russia's latest variant of Oniks has extended range up to 800km. Based on the agreement btw 2 countries. This new improvement will be provided to India later.

Against what you said. Comparing to the history from which you get your conclusion that forest can cover your brahmos launcher fleet. Wow, how old are you, grandpa? Why don’t you ask what is UAV? Haha, that is what armed forces do during peacetime: watching what your neighbor is doing...

https://defenceforumindia.com/forum/threads/nirbhay-cruise-missile-development.4624/page-62 Not become obsolete, but less effective with the advance of modern surveillance tech. For the countries like India, China, the enemy’s action within 200km behind the front is transparent to them. More...

No, US fired tomahawk on terrorist camp not Bin Laden. They used smart bomb or Hellfire missile for him. Long range subsonic CM is never suitable for mobile target.

Well, India is not kind of country famous for the intensive air-defence system. Instead, it has been relying upon its air-force dominance over sky. In the war scenario against China, well, will its air-force still be able to have absolute dominance in the sky, how quick she can archive it, are...

So, you agree with me. The problem is the air carried Brahmos will significantly reduce the manoeuvrability of the jet and make it a easy target. Subjective opinion. It is not if you can “afford” but if its price is worth the result it brings. Well, tell that to Russians, even they...

Two problems: 1. You have to deploy your Brahmos very close to Sino-India border, that will be suicidal before Indian air force dominate the sky around this vast area; 2. The price of Brahmos make it impossible to launch in massive scale. Ironically, no one use long range cruise missile for...

No, it will depends on the demand. If it is required to be operational under certain extent of bad weathers, such as rain, snow, wind, then you have to carry some tests under such kind of weather conditions. That is why generally, any new missile can only be declared a success after 10-15 tests...
