Further boosting Navy's firepower, the 290km-range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully fired from a naval warship INS Trikand in salvo mode in the Arabian Sea.

"For the first time, the BrahMos cruise missile was fired in salvo mode off the Russian-built warship off the coast of Karnataka with an interval of three seconds off the coast of Goa," a DRDO official said here.

After the successful test last week, eight cruise missiles could be fired in salvo mode in future, the official said. The two-stage missile, the first one being solid and the second one ramjet liquid propellant, has already been inducted into the Army and Navy, and the Air Force version is in final stage of trial, a defence official said.

While induction of the first version of Brahmos missile system in the Indian Navy commenced from 2005 with INS Rajput, it is now fully operational with two regiments of the Army. The Army has so far placed orders for the Brahmos missile to be deployed by three regiments and two of them have already been inducted operationally.

The Defence Ministry has also given a go-ahead to Army to induct a third regiment equipped with the missile system to be deployed in the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh. Brahmos Aerospace, an Indo-Russian joint venture company, is also working to develop the air as well as the submarine launch version of the missile system and work on the project is in progress.

BrahMos wants to make missile adaptable for FGFA - Sivathanu Pillai | Russia & India Report
Question :The Indian government is set to issue the tender for P 75 I submarine. Would be one of the conditions to the participants that these submarines would have to be equipped with BrahMos missiles?
Answer: BrahMos today is the weapon with the most potential for our Indian Navy. Indian Navy has accepted this and it is being put in all the ships.
We recently experimented with the concept of salvo. The idea is to prove that we do not have to wait and that we can simultaneously fire eight missiles with a gap of three seconds and all eight targets will be hit at almost the same time. This will completely perplex the enemy. This capability is available with BrahMos. If it can be launched like this from submarine, you will see the underwater form, which we have approved already. Eight missiles come from underwater and eight targets! Now, what are the targets? Each missile is capable of hitting sea target as well a land target. This is the only missile in the world which has got the capability to attack sea target as well as land target.

You can feed all the target positions in the fire control system whether it is land or sea and tell the missile to go all the way. This capability if it is coming from submarine, there is no enemy for us. That is why we are telling P75 I should have BrahMos vertically launched.

is there any chance of Brahmos hit engine room of USN Carrier's Nuke reactor and can trigger nuke explosion to destroy whole Battle Carrier Group!

lol, yeah it can happen, if the reactor room is hit and reactor coolants leaks it will result in chain reaction. Too hot to handle.

What is the situation/status of exports as well as induction of this missile in the Russian Defence Forces?

Russia has so many more Long Range Cruise Missiles, so they dont need Brahmos....

Sympathetic detonation does not occur to Nuclear cores. For a nuclear chain reaction to initiate, first an implosion needs to occur by inward directed conventional explosives.

Breaching the nuke reactor will only have radioactive fallout, not a nuke explosion.

Salvo mode! So basically 2 subs with BrahMos VLS and SeaHakeMod4/Varunastra torpedoes can take out an entire CBG and its submarine escorts in under a minute!

:scared2:
Carrier BG is their if we launch attack and take out first shipwith air defence then all of them in network centric will fall like house of cards. AC might take 4-5 hits to sink.

I was talking about 2x Arihant class SSGN or AIP+VLS SSK firing Brahmos & SeaHakeMod4/Varunastra torpedoes can take out an entire CBG+Sub escort.

OK fired from what platform? Imo p8i with warships armed with BrahMos is ideal to
Take out carrier group and any escorts.
