This is deadly. Attacking on land with pin point accuracy is impressive. May be useful in IOR and SCS but Little useful in India -Pak scenario as Brahmos fired from Indian soil can hit any target in Pakistan.

Probably this was a 700 km + range test and not 450 km range test.

How can you question the India's ability to build a modern airforce?

Electronics of any plane will get outdated every five year. It is true for not only MKI but any other plane as well. We have Changed the electronics of Mirage 2000 as well but they too have become outdated today.

When our talks with Vietnam for selling Akash SAM and Brahmos was going on, China was rattled and requested India not to sell the same to Vietnam. When we did not respond, China pursue VIetnam not to buy the weapons from India. We Now have many state of art weapon systems which can cause big...

This means that we now have the capability to make our enemy concern form our arm export. China is playing this card with us by strengthening Pakistan for a long time. Our export of Weapons will cause concern for China. Now China will have to make their preparation in South China see considering...

Which version are they buying? Block 2?

105* is a hell. Warships will think that Brahmos has overshot it but it will come back to hit it.

This is said by Brahmos designers and not my wishful thinking. Your problem is that you read less and assume too much.

Brahmos NG shall be so mobile that India will be able to use it against big planes line AWACS killer role as well.

I think that its key lies in fuel. They may be developing high energy fuel many be with CL20. They may change engine and make the missile more aerodynamic. Speed shall also go high in this case. My 2 paisa.

The things that excite me more about Brahmos is not only brahmos itself but the spin off technologies developed for Brahmos. A state of art chip was developed for guidence of Brahmos which can receive guidence from multiple sources. It is said that a CL 20 based fuel is developed for Brahmos...

Astra Mk2 shall be lighter as it is proposed to made out of composite. Earlier there was a discussion that it will follow soon after Astra Mk1 but nothing seem to have happened. Mk1 in its test has turned out to be longer ranged than expected. Earlier it was revealed that it will have some 44 km...

I believe there was no lock at all. We just do that to demonstrate world that we were complying MTCR.

800 KM is already planned but it was to come in 3 years. 450 KM already tested and 600 km was planned. 800 KM was to come in next 3 years. If we get 800 KM range, that will be a great punch in our arsenal.

This was just a formal announcement that we have increased the range so relax.

Basically the key lies in modified fuel and aerodynamic optimization along with some design change in engine. Increasing weight will lead to weight penalty. read above link I provided and you guys will not discuss anything here about increasing the Brahmos' range to 600 KM.

read this . It will clarify everything. Brahmos already had 600 Km range and no major modification is required. ******The increased range of the BrahMos will double the standoff engagement range to 600 kilometers for practically every platform that uses the cruise missile. ********According...

Brahmos is basically a much more capable missile so far as range is concern. So far as restricting the range to 290 Km is concern, we have to look into the matter how it was restricted. I think it was restricted by some electronic locking so no big issue in increasing the range.

Saraswat himself had said that Brahmos had 600 Km range in Hi Hi mode.
