Well few info for you, this SL version is made by India, Russians didnt provide any support for this as the tech could be used for SLBM.
Brahmos missile development costed $ 300 millions...
This was just a formal announcement that we have increased the range so relax.
It seems like the missile was not armed with real warhead , as they were testing it's flight and accuracy not it's destruction power .
Nirbhay is cheap alternative, we require those in thousand.
Minus engine all Indian......
This is the verification of land attack capability skeptics have been waiting for. The prior videos with radar reflected targets was propoganda.Never-Before-Seen Footage Solves BrahMos ‘Island Test’ Mystery
@SurgicalStrike here is a little video proof for you
In April 2015, the Indian Army mysteriously withdrew a press statement made just hours before announcing that it had successfully conducted an island launch of the BrahMos Block III supersonic cruise missile from India’s island territories, the Andaman & Nicobar. Neither the Army nor BrahMos Corp. offered an explanation for why the detailed statement, accompanied by photographs of the April launch, was withdrawn. Was the test a failure? The mystery quietly dissipated, but not stands solved. First, take a look at the video above. The April 2015 test did in fact take place, and was precisely how the Army announced it. In fact, the Army conducted two more identical tests a month later in May 2015. Livefist chanced upon never-before-seen footage of these two latter tests in BrahMos Corp’s 2017 official film. Our map of the launch depicts precisely how the launch played out.
Top sources confirm that while the series of tests was fully successful, the reason the statement was withdrawn was that the tests weren’t meant to be announced publicly — certainly not as ‘extended range’ tests (BrahMos Corp recently conducted the first extended range test following India becoming signatory to the MTCR). The distance between Car Nicobar and Trak Island is well within the BrahMos Block III’s 290-km range, so the test actually wasn’t at any ‘extended range’. The other reason why the Army changed its mind about the test was environmental sensitivities that have prevailed over the use of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands for weapons tests. The use of the uninhabited Trak Island (really an atoll) for the test wouldn’t have gone down well with environmentalists (and perhaps departments within the government itself), even though a designated group of islands in the chain have been approved for such target tests.
The tests proved wholly successful though. And the footage you see here on Livefist for the first time confirms that the island strike tests went through without a hitch.
So Su30 got a real long penis to dig hole on paki asses
What is probability of making a 3,000-4,000 kms strategic cruise missile (may be air launched)?
All cruise missile will be three services users in mind. Once we get heavy weight brahmos in MKI, its matter of time, that others cruise missile will joind air launch version.
Can't afford 3000-4000 missiles of ~$3 million each. Precisely why Nirbhay was initiated. At $0.5 million each (according to Saurav Jha) you can fill up the inventory as much you like.
And who will play those roles?
I'm talking about 3,000-4,000 kms range LACM, not numbers.
My bad, read that in a hurry. Very long range cruise missiles are not particularly useful from Indian perspective. None of our enemies live an ocean away and expecting a cruise missile to fly 3000 km into Chinese airspace and not being shot down is wishful thinking at best.
