    If you can mount it to a Su-30, you can certainly mount the air version to the underbelly of P-8i or under the wings. Of course they would need to run wind tunnel testing but it would be awesome if it can be done.

    Uncle Sam doesn't have a choice whether we can put Brahmos on or not. If we can figure out how to do that, we will. We want to be able to mount the Brahmos on P-8I because it gives IN a great standoff attack capability that PLAN cannot match.

    P-8is can be escorted and the good thing about the P-8is is that they have long range capabilities and combined with the 300-400km range of Brahmos, they can launch a salve at the perimeter of any PLAN naval group and PLAN would be hard pressed to stop the salvos.

    P-8Is can also be configured for anti shipping roles too.

    To make full use of Brahmos, we need more P-8Is. They are the only platform with the long range capability, standoff range, locating and targeting enemy ships, and carrying capability.

    US will only help out indirectly by making sure that the PLAN doesn't block any navigational routes or force the PLAN to take longer routes and provide IN with real time intelligence on the whereabouts of the PLAN forces and some weapon supplies.

    Yes but it doesn't mean ignoring the threat and burying your head into the sand. You have to be proactive in countering the threat with whatever means available.

    So speaketh by someone whose head is in the sand. Reminds me of an Indian folklore story where a flock of birds live on top of a tree. There was a baby creeper growing at the base of the tree. An old wise bird advised the flock to eat away the baby creeper before it becomes a menace. The...
