    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    From speed, they are all above the minimum hypersonic speed. But ballistic missile is flying in a typical parabola trajectory, only perform limited maneuver in parts of stages. But, overall, it is still a parabola trajectory. The hypersonic missile we are talking about is supposed to be able to...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    That was a tech demonstrator which only lasted around 20 seconds. Still got long way to go.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    No, salvo strike means simply using the number to overwhelm enemy's defense system around the critical target. If enemy can shoot down 6 missiles in one wave, just launch 7 in one wave. Generally, 2 missiles just means you have 100% confidence about the accuracy and reliability of your missiles...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Why? Does India government gets too much money? No country produce that number of missiles (no matter ballistic or cruise) each year in peace, it is too damn expensive. Once these missiles produced, you can't just leave them in the warehouse like you keep your spare mobile in the drawer, you...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    The idea that her navy can get close to Chinese coast to impose huge damage is just Childish. The first thing that Vietnamese navy will do in the first day of a war is: running out of the strike range of Chinese air force. Are you aware the situation of Vietnamese armed forces? Coming to...

    Where do you get that from? Remember that Chinese soldier who lost his way in Sino-India border? He carried a mobile phone. PressReader.com - Digital Newspaper & Magazine Subscriptions So, obviously, he can read the newspaper even in the remote area. Obviously, from the above, you think you...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Really? Longer range means big tactic maneuver room; Longer range means your jets can deployed far from enemy's threat; Longer range means you can put more enemy's land under your threat; Longer range means longer combat hour in one mission which provides the pilot more options; Longer range...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Well, Su-30MKI also has advantage over Tejas Mk2 on range and weapon loading both of which are quite critical in the war against China. These are the two of the reasons that Rafael won the contract. Meanwhile, don't forget that Chinese J-10C (>100 in service) already has RCS, BVR and EW...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Oh, really? Will Tejas Mk2 - a fighter still on paper cause more problem than Su-30 to PLAAF? I don't think so. Tejas MK2 may turn out to be a better jet than 2000s' Su-30 but PLAAF's jets are also far than 2000s.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    That is an old trick Russians played since 1970s. The AI of modern air defense system won't take that as "overshot" at all.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    1. By flying at 7-8km/s, the target will be out of your satellite sensor range within <5 seconds. In order to support the continuing mid-guide in round 200 seconds, how many satellites will be required? 2. A group of satellites means various signal sources, there is time gap, distance gap, etc...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    There is a bad news for you: The statellite can't track a flying plane continuously so far. Maybe you have that tech on Mars, but on earth, we won't get there in 20 years.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    So far, Russians only said that it is POSSIBLE to carry 5 brahmos with Su30. The reason that it is only POSSIBLE is currently Su-30 only have 3 hardpoints to carry weapons around 1.5tons. Even the latest version – the so called ultimate version - Su-35 still has only 3 such points. It means if...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Firstly, so far the maximum estimation of Brahmos NG for Su-30 is 3 not 5; Secondly, you just keep ignoring the most important fact: the biggest challenge for any fighter jet attacking the big plane is not the plane itself but the escorting jet. With 3 Brahmos on board, the Su-30 will be...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Yes, the speed and kinetic energy are still enough to take care of some low speed target like AWACS and transporters. However, bear this in your mind: AMRAAM or R-77 are only around 150-190kg while Brahmos NG is over 1t. So, basically, a Su-30 can carry up to 12 AAMs including 6 to 8 R-77 while...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Of course Brahmos does have datalink for midcourse guidance. You can choose not to use it but it is there. Every anti-ship missile has that (including Onyx). They can fly by pre-set trajectory, but that will impair the effectiveness. In the battlefield, there may be decoy, false signal, new...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    I really don't want to waste my time explaining how different are between the subsystems of air-to-air missile and cruise missile. So let’s talk about a simple question: how to provide consistent navigation signal. If you shoot the Brahmos NG from 300km away, the missile will fly 260km before...

    Using a cruise missile under 3 mach to attack a flying plane? India must get some techs from Mars.
