I can`t imagine what is like when a half ton projectile impacting thin layer skin of a modern day destroyer or frigate at supersonic speeds and then explodes ..
NEW DELHI: The Indian Army today on the 2nd of May 2017 successfully test fired an advanced version of BRAHMOS land-attack cruise missile in the eastern sector, revalidating the formidable weapon’s precision strike capability.
The land-to-land configuration of BRAHMOS Block – III was launched...
Which is more prone to interception, A cruise missile or a supersonic missile ?
=====================
Just by saying that this is better than this without any explanation won`t make any sense ..
Slow air speed and restricted route comes to mind, Massive strike with aircraft will also get through given the men are expendable ..
Nothing is absolute, So why have more faith in subsonic CM then super sonic once ?
A well deigned network of ZU-23-4, OSA-AK, and others can bring down these sub-sonic CMs flying at low altitude ..
So, Why so much faith on these sub-sonic CMs, Only one thing they can do is long range ..

Yeah, ..... INSAS,155MM OFB FG, Akash SAM, HELINA, LGB, Arjun mk1, 4X4 MPV, Tejas, Dhruv, Rudra, BM, 95% of Navy Ships and list goes on in service with Indian Armed Forces..

Some good In formations regarding stealth of PJ-10..
PJ-10 is not only stealthy design but also it speed act as a supplement to its lethality..
PJ-10 also employ ECM against possible jammers and detection devices..

Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms
Shame dont know there own tests, Story came out from Chinese forums and told by a MOD in Chinese forum in MP.net..
Ask him..
Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms
But are these K series have seeker like on PJ-10 or other Anti-Ship variant ? afaik these are BM good against static positions not a moving target..
There is very little knowledge viable on DF-21D and what available is very skeptic.
Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms
Sir, CEP is better but range is short for a long range Anti-ship Missiles such as DF-21D..
If Shaurya can be modified for longer range it can have same navigation system as Nirbhay which make its own path via help of GPS, When near target ( 70-50kms ) its...
Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms
LF Sir, DF-21D is not a true carrier killer, Only time it was tested against a static location in gobi desert..
Shaurya is more unique and different mainly coz of its propulsion and we dont know it have a seeker like PJ-10 does, If they can add one it...
