BrahMos Cruise Missile

[Galaxy]

New BrahMos can cover 290 km in two minutes

 

[Galaxy]

so we will have 3 hypersonic missiles in our backpack right? (hypersonic = speed > Mach 5.0)

1) AGNI - 5
2) Shaurya
3) Brahmos

please correct me if i am wrong..

do u know what will be range and speed of Agni 5 and agni prime?

Agni series Missiles are BM. It will be used in full fledge war for total destruction. It can't be used to target strategic asset, military bases, etc.

Range

Agni 1 - 700-1200 Km
A-2 - 2,000-2,500 Km
A-3 - 3,000 Km
A-3 prime = A-4 = 3,500-3,700 Km
A-5 - 5,000-5,500 Km

* upper range in case of less payload or/and some upgradation which is going on.

Shaurya is Hypersonic Missile with 700 Km+ range, But it's not Cruise Missile. Shaurya is a quasi ballistic missile (also called a semi ballistic missile) is a category of missile that has a low trajectory and/or is largely ballistic but can perform maneuvers in flight or make unexpected changes in direction and range. Most likely it will work as 2nd strike for total destruction (for Pak case).

Brahmos-1 and Prahar (supersonic) and Brahmos-2 (2017 onwards) will be our 1st strike capability for offensive with high accuracy, low detection, target for various Strategic asset and unbeatable too.

You can also include MOSKIT on surface ships, and KLUBS that approach MACH 2.9 to this list.

BRAHMOS successfully test fired from frigate Teg


MOSCOW (BNS): Test launch of the BRAHMOS supersonic cruise missile was carried out successfully from the Indian frigate Teg at Baltic Sea on Wednesday, a media report said.

According to Itar-Tass, the missile was fired from the ship's bow flew along the preset trajectory and reached the destination in the target area. Telemetric data indicated that all of its systems worked properly.

The missile was launched from the first of the three frigates being built by the Kaliningrad-based shipyard Yantar for the Indian Navy.

In July 2007, Russia and India signed a $1.6 billion contract for the construction of a series of Project 11356 frigates for the Indian Navy.

The new frigates namely 'Teg', 'Teer' and 'Trikand' are follow ons of the three Talwar Class warships built for India by Russia and inducted into service around the early part of the decade.

In the new ships, the Russian-origin Klub missiles would be replaced by the indigenous BRAHMOS missiles.

"Three Project 11356 frigates are being built for the Indian Navy at Russia's Yantar Baltic Shipbuilding Plant. The first one will begin performance and dockside tests soon," Itar-Tass quoted Alexander Maksichev, managing co-director of the joint venture as saying.

BRAHMOS cruise missile has already been inducted in the Indian Army and Navy while the air-launched version it set to be test-flown next year.

BRAHMOS best example of technological co-operation: Kalam


Posted On: Dec 08, 2011

NEW DELHI (BNS): The India-Russia Joint Venture BRAHMOS missile is the best example of technological co-operation which has become a marketing success leading to a 10 billion dollar business today, said former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam.

"The BRAHMOS missile system has been developed as a joint venture between India and Russia in the shortest possible time, leapfrogging all other countries in the world. It is going to remain a world class system in the coming years," he said while addressing the 19th Global Symposium on 'Festival of Thinkers & Doers.'

Hailing India's space prowess, the former President, who was the brain behind the country's Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) programme said, "India today can launch any kind of satellite and spacecraft. It is now preparing to launch the second lunar mission."

Dr. A S Pillai, CEO and MD BrahMos Aeropsace in his address during the event said, "As a great visionary and leader, Dr. Kalam made India a missile power."

"The SLV project was the forerunner of all space programmes of India. Dr Kalam propelled India to be a member of the Space Club by injecting Rohini satellite into Earth orbit," he added.

The three-day Symposium provided a platform for over 400 public and private sector executives and project managers in making their organizations more competitive in the global economy and effectively manage future projects.

Delegates and speakers from several countries also addressed the conference.

The picture is that of the Rajput class destroyer.

 

[utubekhiladi]

New BrahMos can cover 290 km in two minutes

Prahar missile can also hit a target at 150 km in about 250 seconds...

 

[Galaxy]

Prahar missile can also hit a target at 150 km in about 250 seconds...

Yes

But Brahmos is cruise missile whereas Prahar is tactical semi Ballistic missile. Both are totally different. Speed is not the only criteria for destruction

 

[sathya]

prahaar is cheaper but not stealthy..

 

[HeinzGud]

What will be the Pak reply for Brahmos?????

 

[amitkriit]

What will be the Pak reply for Brahmos?????

They will throw everything at us, including basin, squat toilet, pressure cooker...etc etc.

 

[Galaxy]

What will be the Pak reply for Brahmos?????

No reply till date.
Once launched, They will run like anything as they will have only 2-5 Minutes.

If launched against SL from Tamil Nadu south part, 100 Seconds and Countdown will begin for destruction in SL !!

 

[sayareakd]

What will be the Pak reply for Brahmos?????

Reply

By PN: get life jacket,
By PAFat radar station: order new one
For PA GHQ: change GHQ it to new location,
For PA Mountain arms dump: call fire engine we are burning
, etc etc.

speed matters, our enemies wont even have time to pee in their pants.

BM can be easily detected which is not the case of Cruise Missile.

What you will prefer a Missile with Mach Speed 2+ which will be undetectable, Terrain Hugging or a Missile with same speed but can easily be tracked and even destroyed ?? Not to forget, Brahmos will be more destructive to attack strategic asset due to very high accuracy whereas Prahar will not have same accuracy.

Have you ever wondered why we spending 4 Mn $ for 1 Brahmos and why 0.5-1 Mn $ max. for 1 Prahar Missile when speed is same ??

Prahar and Brahmos are 2 different type of Missiles and one can't compare !!

lets say that our enemies do not have tech to intercept supersonic+ missiles like prahaar, brahmos, shuarya etc..

Brahmos will be more destructive to attack strategic asset due to very high accuracy whereas Prahar will not have same accuracy.

dude, prahaar can also hit the targets accurately in within 10 meters... can carry 200kg of gift package.

i do know that both missile are in different class and has different purpose.

I can understand your logic. I also had similar doubt 2-3 years back

Our enemies do have technology/radar to detect Semi or Ballistic Missile. BM has fixed movement till certain duration/length. Not to forget height which makes them detectable too. Even if Speed is high, It can be detected and then destroyed. China is operating S-300, HQ-9 and even Pak might also operate HQ-9 soon. Short range BM is not major thing. Even Pak/China has similar BM for short/medium range.

We will use BM only in full fledge war for total destruction. BM can never be used to destroy important asset with very high accuracy due to inherit tech.

There are very less chance for Brahmos to be detected because it travels on low height, terrain hugging and some Stealth tech too. Once we will launch, There will be high chance that it will hit bullseye within few minutes without being detected or destroyed.

 

[sayareakd]

@Galaxy we can always use brahmos to take out their radar and then shower Prithvi at them (only in Pakistan's case). BTW detection of BM and taking it out are two different things. You can achieve first, but second is most difficult part.

I agree with most of your POV

We can do that or even launch 200 Brahmos to destroy most of the strategic asset of Pak too.
