Not become obsolete, but less effective with the advance of modern surveillance tech.
This is what you said.
The densest forest and uneven terrain won’t provide much protection as they used to be under today’s surveillance technology:
So again less effective in comparison to what? Deserts, plains, marshes, beaches?
For the countries like India, China, the enemy’s action within 200km behind the front is transparent to them.
Source?
More importantly, these CM regiments are being deployed within 200km to the border, which means all their operations from camp maintenance, daily training and drills are always under the watch of Chinese. After years of observation, their technical limitation, operating model and principles become so familiar to the enemy that almost move can be predicated by enemy: what are the potential targets, where are the best attacking position, which several routes are most likely chosen for move, how fast can the regiment move, etc, etc. All these knowledge will greatly narrow down the search area.

Funny, one hand, you admit that India can’t match the air force of USA and USSR, on the other hand, you are planning to do something they didn’t dare to do: converting the fighters to air dominance task to land attacking.
Read again genius. China is in the same boat. Unless there is a fleet of Chinese strategic bombers flying around. Difference is that IAF will strike, how it wants, when it wants, using a huge supersonic missile on a highly capable platform using standoff distances. PLAAF will have to use subsonic missiles from its bomber which was designed in 1950s in Russia.
Su-30 is the back bone of India’s fighter fleet. Within a long period after war begins, both sides will fight for the air dominance considering the quantity and quality of both air forces. Instead of putting these Su-30 to kill Chinese birds, you send them to be chased by Chinese birds. I don’t know how good protection the India escort could be, but I do know 1 Su30 with Brahmos +1 Su30 with R77 are not as good as 2 Su30 both have R77.
You are not particluarly bright are you? Su-30MKI are a multirole fighters. Now google what multirole means. Jaguars and Mig-21s are the only single role platform left in IAF.
Unlike PLAAF which is heavily dependent on the single role platforms, some of which are clearly outdated, IAF has moved on.
MKI are the mainstay of IAF and can fulfill most of the roles demanded by IAF. This includes, carrying a Brahmos along with R-77s.
I love how you are grasping at straws. First you said, MKIs flying with Brahmos will be "easy target" for PLAAF. I provided a rebuttal. Then, you pulled another thing out of your rear and claimed that escorts doesn't "guarantee" safety without explaining the "guarantee" and "safety" factors which exists in your imagination. Now you are bitching and moaning about numbers and I can still mop the floor with you.
So make up your damn mind. Is it;
1) Easy target for PLAAF?
2) Escorts are not a guarantee?
3) Numbers are not enough?
And do these factors unilaterally affect India but not China. Go ahead, I'll wait.
You are talking as if Russians didn’t need to attack those land targets within western German, which only a few hundred kilometres away from the eastern German border. Instead of deploying their supersonic cruise missile, they developed SSFor these target, they prepared plenty of short range ballistic missile such as SS-12 and then SS-23 SRBMs.
1) Soviets did not field a land based cruise missile of similar range as Brahmos.
2) India too has deployed theater ballistic missiles like Prithvi.
Now argue on these two points. Try again.
Does this tell you something?
That you are clueless as fuck.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that supersonic cm has a higher survival rate comparing to subsonic cm in the land unless you can provide that Brahmos can perform valley-hugging movement.
Survivability of Brahmos depends on its speed, low level flying and can do near vertical dives same as every other subsonic missile.
Valley hugging in the Himalayas. Do the mighty Chinese have that techonology? Would you like to share an example?
Well, Russians also claim their KH-101/102 is their answer to JASSM, which is operational already in 2012.
Trouble reading? I gave you two examples of US & Russia coming up with two very distinct philosophy of Anti ship missiles, you again bullshited your way through by muddying the waters.
Is Kh101 an AshM?
This is what you wrote;
Well, here is news for you: Russia is also working on the stealthy subsonic CM while US is spending a lot on her hypersonic missile subject.
Where are the examples for the question I asked? Where is the American hypersonic AshM? Where is the Russian stealth AshM?
Either provide the source or shut the fuck up.
On the other side, Americans’ hypersonic cm program can trace back to 2006 X 51 test.
Is this an AshM? I specifically asked for AshM.
Even though, it was terminated publicly, but they have resumed the research again.
Source?
Which weapons get into production first depends on their industrial and technological strength, not necessarily the tactic value in the battle.
It shows the priorities different militaries put on very different weapon systems. Something that clearly escapes you.
When a country spent so much money on their stealth jet and hypersonic plane, it is very wired that she doesn’t have similar programs in missile area.
But, you can believe whatever suits you.
Where is the source genius? Your hit and run tactics won't work on me.
Either provide the source or shut the fuck up.
Well, since you have repeat your bullshit, I have to try to crack your head to make you ask yourselves why India is the only one using this weapon against land target. Unfortunately, your ego just blind your eyes.
This is not the first time you tried to pull the wool in front of the reader's eyes. This is also not the first time, you made an asinine claim without providing sources.
You can muddy the waters all you want, I'll keep calling you on your bullshit.
