Finally a beacon of light :) at least ACM producers have extensively tested their equipment against missiles that mimic the Brahmos? Has the Brahmos ever been successfully tested against ship defense? If the Brahmos is everything it is claimed to be why has there been no international sale - so far?

p2prada you haven't presented a shred of evidence to back up your claims. So far all I've heard are statement of capability and no credible evidence of capability. And LethalForce, please try and correctly interpret what you read the above article "DoD finds cruise missile defense GAPS" is...

Ok mister, you've just lost all credibility the US has been trying to stop Brahmos development for the last 25 years? Even before the JV was created in 1998 - And for the 100th time the ESSM is a MACH 4 missile I think MACH 4 is greater than MACH 2.8?No? So the USN has acknowledged that it is...

Prove it please it is time you finally back up your assertion with proof. Why is a Ramjet powered missile flying at Mach 2.8 above the ocean surface 'small and thin' and undetectable by Radar?

You're assuming tail chase, I think head on intercept with a proximity fuse will work quite well. Besides the US NAVY's OPEVAL deems the SM-2 BLOCK IIIB and higher operationally effective and suitable against all high-speed, high/low altitude anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) in an advanced ECM...

How about declassified CIA files? http://www.paperlessarchives.com/a12.html Several times less as compared to conventional solid or liquid fueled rockets - yes. But still enough to register on the radar. You are kidding right? Which storm do you know of that heats the air by 200 deg C? If...

If you say so - disbelief is your prerogative, you claim the Brahmos will go undetected because a submarine got close to an aircraft carrier during DEFCON 5 peace time protocol =omg=. In any case I'm done talking about the Brahmos, folks here are too emotional to present rationale plausible...

Do you believe a USN carrier fleet will allow an MKI wielding three Brahmos to get anywhere close to launch range? DO NOT ADVERTISE ANYMORE CORPORATE BROCHURES

Wrong! Ramjet ejects pressurized hot gas as a result of imperfect combustion of pressurized air and fuel. Radar does not detect heat but it is sensitive to thermal gradients produced by the hot emission and aerodynamically heated skin. Even a humble weather radar is able to detect thermal...

Has Brahmos Aerospace tested their missile against interceptors like ASTER, Barak 8,SM-2 or ESSM? Isn't it premature to claim invincibility until such tests are performed scientifically to asses the effectiveness of the Brahmos against intercept missiles? At least the ESSM, SM-2 and ASTER has...

Armand claims 100km, the Erieye fact sheet claims at an altitude of 10,000 a low flying subsonic cruise missile is detected at 200km in a post launch sea skimming profile, read post #424 if you haven't already. Remember a subsonic cruise missile like the TomaHawk has a much longer range than the...

Really! under 100km? What is your detection range theory based on? You clearly don't have a clue read post #424 and get one! http://www.defenceforum.in/forum/showthread.php/13-BrahMos-News-and-Discussions?p=140997&viewfull=1#post140997

Reaction time is exactly 5.25 minutes if launched from 300 Km, Mach 2.8 translates to 952 m/sec at an altitude of 10 m. I have provided a link to the NASA calculator. http://exploration.grc.nasa.gov/education/rocket/machu.html As I said earlier in order to reach a conclusion about the...

Absolutely! Early detection is the key, if a land or ship launched Brahmos is used against a USN carrier group then the onus of detection will be with the fleet's early warning air borne radar likely the Hawkeye E-2D. The Brahmos is known to have a range of 300 km so the launch will likely occur...

Shaurya and AGNI 2 are both solid fueled missiles, I have already described how solid fueled missiles can be deflected by thrust vector. The only consideration for such is the airframes ability to withstand high 'G' maneuvers and the guidance systems ability to re-orient itself and reacquire the...

The crew of the Ahi-Hanit was complacent the ships air defense systems were turned off 15 km from shore when the ship was hit by land launched Kowsar. The USS Cole was hit by a explosive laden rubber dinghy- does that mean small boats are more effective anti ship weapons? I guess its important...

The point of contention is not that the Brahmos is incapable of maneuvering, the question is weather the Brahmos can out maneuver missiles such as SM-2,ESSM,Aster and Barak? Further one 360 degree turn in over 100 miles of flight is achieved by the SR-71 as well at Mach 3. What I dispute is...

LETHALFORCE, this incident doesn't count, one because ship defense, radar and missile technology have evolved considerably since 1982. And second I think someone was asleep at the wheel on the Sheffield - the Étendard launched the Exocet from six miles of the Sheffield? How does an enemy...

Let us examine your assertion . It is an established fact that aerodynamic control surfaces are needed to alter pitch, roll or yaw of an aircraft; this applies to both air planes and missiles. There are three components that can be manipulated to achieve either pitch and/or yaw these are...

Of all the deluded statements this one takes the prize "excessive evasive maneuvers?" Do people even realize that at Mach 3 the SR-71 needed a 100 miles to make a turn? Your claims defy the laws of Physics, how do you explain high maneuverability on a missile that has fewer control surfaces than...
