    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms The Russians are building such weapons for their bombers, hypersonic ones. We don't have a need for this today. Our targets are quite close. We have greater focus on penetration of defenses than just obscene range. We don't have an...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms The Russians gave ToT for the engines and the codes a long time ago. We are already manufacturing the engines in two facilities. One is BATL and the other is yet unknown, but it is a private company.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms Brahmos 1. As of today, MKI only. Brahmos 3. In the future. Rafale, Mig-29K and MKI. MKI will carry three instead of one.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms Then there are in development articles like Perseus and Hoplite or even cancelled programs such as the MA-31 and LRASM-B.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms There are so many. The Chinese have the Russian Sunburn or Moskit. The Russians have the long range Granit along with Onyx and its export version Yakhont. We have Brahmos. The Americans built the target missile called Coyote. All the above are...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms What if I tell you if I was in the ship, I would need lesser time to spoof Brahmos compared to Harpoon and that once spoofed the Harpoon has the time to correct its course to reinitiate its attack with the correct course while the Brahmos will...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms It depends on many parameters including flight path. If long range of 300Km is required, Brahmos climbs to a high altitude and drop downs to 10m during terminal phase. If sea skimming mode is required throughout the flight then range drops down to...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms Stealthy approach. A long range supersonic launch can be picked up at a very long distance. A subsonic missile, not so easy. A Brahmos from 300-500Km would mean a very early detection compared to a subsonic missile. The Brahmos missile and...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms ASuW is Anti surface warfare. That means using Anti-ship missiles and LACM against water and land targets. The long range missile can double up as a AShM and a LACM like what USN is planning for the subsonic LRASM-A with a range between 1000 to...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    re: New BrahMos Cruise Missile: Range 500kms A range of above 300Km is a waste of time for an Anti-ship missile. Even 300 Km is a lot. The closer you take the shot without being detected, the better are your chances at hitting the ship. Any farther and the missile can be tracked and taken out...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms That would make it our version of DF-21. It would be a lot slower than the DF-21 but more realistic because of its ability to fly and maneuver at lower altitudes. DF-21, being a ballistic missile, is trying to defy the laws of physics if we go by...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms There are a lot of mistakes being made in relation to Shaurya. Shaurya is a hypersonic missile, but so are other ballistic missiles. It has no terrain hugging capability, it flies high and releases the warhead like a regular missile. Only difference is...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms Yes. I am aware of the ASMP. But it has been built for an entirely different purpose. It is a last resort weapon meant for delivering nuclear strikes. Brahmos's primary role is entirely different and follows an entirely different principle using sea...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms RLV is not a military weapon. Btw, it has not been built to date. Currently the plan is to build a 3 tonne RLV-TD to validate the technology in flight tests before commencing building the full scale 25 tonne version. Shaurya is not based on SCRAMJET like...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms It isn't a India-Russia-Israel JV. Such a thing does not exist. You misread. We have a JV with Russia for Brahmos and a contract with Israel to work on hypersonic testing at their facilities in Israel. Ok. That's cute, but we already have development...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms I am not saying nobody is interested in hypersonic technologies. What I am saying is nobody except Russia/India have plans of weaponizing it within this decade. The X-51 is also a tech demonstrator like what's being planned for HSTDV. That's why the X...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms There is a chance the Brahmos II UCAV and missile versions may be one and the same.

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms Does not look like it, DSEi 2011 - Perseus: MBDA's missile of the future? Perseus to be developed over 15 to 20 years. 300Km range, 200Kg warhead, Mach 3, same as Brahmos. Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) So, both the British and the Americans are...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms Yeah. There is no Brahmos equivalent right now in the west. The Americans are working on it now. The west did not consider the advantages of supersonic missiles to be good enough at the cost they come in. Now it would seem they may go in for a mix. Anyway...

    BrahMos Cruise Missile

    Re: New Brahmos Missile range 500kms In order to point out that other NATO countries may benefit from this new LRASM-B as a Brahmos equivalent.
