    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    Firstly, what you mean the ballistic missiles which is a many decade old technology? Or you suggest that because someone else had it many decades ago, so it should be a piece of cake today? Jet engine is many decades ago technology, you are still struggling to install one in a modern plane...

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    That is your logic, not mine. I simply pointed out what kind of weapon other countries choose for the job and why they choose it. Those military men make their decisions based on the weapons available, not the most fantasy weapons.

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    Well, if you have no problem to use expensive Brahmos to attack these bunkers, I don't see why other countries can't use ballistic missile with conventional warhead to do the same thing. They have large quantity and cheaper price.

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    I will be surprised if Brahmos can't. 1. I suggest you to learn the trajectory of Pershing 2 missile, find out how it was designed to attack those soviet H/O bunker hiding under the mountain; 2. With the CEP of as low as 5m and specific designed deep-penetration warhead, they can be bunker...

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    We are talking about attacking the target in mountain area, right? Please tell me how does Brahmos fly EXTREMLY LOW in mountains with 2.5M speed. Because currently most of medium range surface to air missile can fly over 3 Mach, moving towards 4 Mach, so the speed of 2.5 or 3 Mach doesn’t...

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    You got three things wrong: 1. The precondition of any kind of missile attack is that your surveillance system can find the target. If the target can be seen from the space by satellite or drone, there is no problem for the ballistic missile to hit it, remember that they can dive 90 degree too...

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    The reason that everyone is working on hypersonic CM is simply because 2.5-3M can't guarantee its breakthrough of air defense. Even modern short-range defense missiles have a fairly better chance to take out the supersonic CM in terminal stage comparing to past. It is not magic, but simply...

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    The max speed of Onyx is 2.5M comparing to 2.8M or 3M of Brahmos, it certainly tells you that speed is not everything. I don’t want to argue why Indians choose Brahmos because that will be a long discussion. Let’s put this way: For Brahmos, it can carry a 250kg warhead hit a target within...

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    Less maneuverable than other slower cruise missile. Missile is system balanced between speed, maneuverability, accuracy, stealthy. With the same technology level, you can only enhance one part at the cost of other parts. The fact that Russia deployed a lot of slower supersonic cruise missiles...

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    So, congratulations to our Indian friends: you successfully copy the last 70s Soviet missile, well done!

    Akash Surface-to-air Missile

    There are reasons why all other countries' air defense missiles have move away from ramjet engine-the air intake will disturb the air flow around the missile when it tries to perform high G maneuver. Unless Indian scientists discover something to break this physics principle, the weakness of...
