No, 3 brahmos is not possible, That will impose too much drag. We can have 2 Brahmos NG in inner wing pylons and a 1 ton fuel tank in centre. Flying 3 Brahmos without fuel tank will be suicide as the drag will reduce the range to very low number

Tejas MK2 can carry 1.5 ton payload in the wing pylon. So, it can carry 2 Brahmos NG, 1 under each wing

There is a difference between GDP and budget revenues. GDP is total transaction value while income is net profit. Arabs may have low GDP but huge revenue. I don't see any reason why they would follow USA.

Pakistan can get enough money from Arabia. I don't understand why you are always concerned about money. Arabs have enough money to pay for entire Indian budget for 2 years in addition to their own budget and still go strong

Sorry for this irrelevant post here, but I think the like button is exactly there to convey the same message instead of typing it loud. Thanks

That is exactly what I am saying - we can make a fully indigenous Brahmos and name it dingdong. It is mere naming we are going about. It does not matter whether it is the technology of brahmos reverse engineered or otherwise. We just should not name our supersonic missile as brahmos to ensure...

The curvature of the earth as well as the noise from currents on the sea will cause a problem for radar detection in ships. That is why detection range of sea hugging missile is around 100km. But in case of terrestrial targets, some of the radars can and will be located on a higher ground like...

The accuracy of MRBL is a circle with radius equal to 1% of range. That is a pretty bad accuracy. Unless tipped with NASR type tactical nukes, I wouldn't recommend that. The power of the MRBLs warhead isn't that great to bust armoured bunkers if not hit directly which is difficult due to poor...

Yeah, the excuse these people gave of changing software from 290km to 450km was hillarious to say the least. The sea skimming Brahmos may have lower range ~ 290km due to higher energy needed for sea skimming.

I have heard that propulsion of brahmos is by India. Seeker, motor is russian and propulsion is Indian. Even warhead was initially Russian but India developed its own over time. I believe propulsion means fuel. So, it is Indian. Otherwise, how will it be 50:50 JV? It will be merely import

Russia had denied ToT for MRBL missiles but have readily given it for Brahmos. Except for seeker of brahmos, all other components are reverse engineerable like the motor. Why would Russia give it to India is a big question. Now, Israel has given seekers for India as part of strategic partnership.

I can ask the same question to you. Can you answer?

If you have dozens of ballistic missiles, then the opponents will also have dozens of SAM. Generally 1:1 SAM will be enough for ballistic missiles with 90% hit probability. BARAK has 95% probability of kill per missile. Indian Akash has 88% kill ratio. If you are saying that you have dozens of...

Don't say anything for God's sake. Brahmos travels at 2.8Mach. Many planes travel at 2.5Mach. All these planes also have high maneuverability. Despite all these, they can be intercepted. I don't see any reason why brahmos can't be intercepted. Ballistic missiles travel at 7+ Mach, sometimes even...

All cruise missiles are interceptable. Supersonic or subsonic, both types of cruise missiles are still relatively slow. Mountainous areas can't be targeted with ballistic missiles and need only cruise missiles as the ballistic missiles can't maneuver the steep slopes to target people hiding...
