range was always 800 KM+ believe it or not i mean we can't officially claim that since that would mean Russia bypassed the MTCR but anyone in the knows knew the range was always 800 km+ and it is very evident from the news coming out afterwards that Brahmos will require a Software upgrade to unlock the range yeah right lolololol

:nono: shooo..... not so loud, PN surface fleet will be history, there subs may have some chance, but the new US anti subs planes have wide search area, so much so that GOI has decided to retire all old Russian anti sub planes.

So in any war IN will crush PN in no time.

How about the PLAN surface fleet do we even stand a chance against them with the new Hypersonic Brahmos II in our armoury...???

Forget Hyper Brahmos 2, even super sonic pj10/brahmos/P-800 Oniks with improvement and ER. At present not much of confirm defences against Brahmos. Even few hits can take down any AC and 6-7 will take out big AC.

Game changers will be air launch version on SU30 MKI, that will add massive range, couple with the fact that, if you can provide mid air fuel then suddenly you have 4000kms range from airfiled.

I feel that Indian Navy air wing, should get 100 Modified SU 30 Mki with brahmos capabilites for there own use.

Instead of wasting money on FGFA buy S400 and build more brahmos (like by tens of thousands) and invest in our own AMCA . That said praise be to the Russians. We need them still so better not enter American camp with eyes closed like Modi is taking us.

I think su 34 are better as they have better range payload characteristics with max load of 12 tons plus has a planned naval strike variety with asw capabilities

BrahMos: India-Russia create history with successful test of longer range 450-km version of supersonic cruise missile


Giving a significant edge to India’s defence preparedness and strike capability, an extended range version of the BrahMos cruise missile has been successfully test fired! DRDO tested the latest 450-km range version of the cruise missile days after its chief announced its development at the Aero India 2017. Talking about today’s test, Praveen Pathak, spokesperson of BrahMos Aerospace said, “The extended range BrahMos hit the target with centimetric accuracy. It’s a big leg up for us. With this new version, all three forces, Army, Navy and IAF will have the capability to strike deep into the enemy’s territory.” “This is the first for the world – a supersonic cruise missile with such a high range,” Pathak told FE Online.

DRDO chief S Christopher had said that India and Russia have agreed to the enhancement of BrahMos’ range to 450 km, and the tentative date for the test of the new version of the supersonic cruise missile is March 10. The new 450-km version is likely to send jitters in Pakistan. The news from Aero India also suggested that China will soon have reason to be wary of Brahmos’ strike power. S Christopher said that yet another version of the BrahMos is under development, and it will have a range of 800 km! According to S Christopher, the missile will be ready for tests in the next two and a half years.



brahMos has been developed as part of a joint venture between India and Russia, and the missile had an initial range of 290 km. India has been able to work on increasing the range of the BrahMos missile from its current 290 km after it became a member of the prestigious Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).

While the Indian Army and Indian Navy have already inducted the 290-km BrahMos, it is likely to clear the final test for IAF in the first half of this year itself. BrahMos has been integrated on the IAF’s Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft, and according to Sudhir Mishra, the CEO and MD of BrahMos Aerospace this is the heaviest missile to be flown on that frontline fighter aircraft. Sources in BrahMos Aerospace told FE Online that the missile will be test fired from IAF’s Su-30 MKI sometime in April or May.


As pointed out earlier, a missile as heavy as the BrahMos has never been integrated on a frontline fighter jet like Su-30 MKI. This is a first in the world, and is therefore set to give the IAF a big shot in the arm. BrahMos can penetrate into the enemy’s territory and destroy crucial and strategic assets.

In its current form (290-km), the BrahMos has a maximum velocity of 2.8 Mach and cruises at altitudes varying from 10 metres to 15 km. It can be launched in either inclined or vertical configuration based on the type of the ship. The land-attack version of BrahMos is fitted on an mobile autonomous launcher. BrahMos is also capable of being launched from submarine from a depth of 40-50 metres.

‘True’ BrahMos Unleashed Today, Next 1,000-km Weapon



The first benefit of India becoming a signatory to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) was on display off India’s coast today when the country test-fired a BrahMos missile (photo) at extended range, well beyond the 290-km range it was so far shackled to by virtue of being outside the international treaty. Today, the BrahMos-ER was fired out to a range of 450 km, successfully hitting a target out at sea.

“It was a successful test, where we launched the BrahMos to a range in excess of 400 km. Shortly, existing BrahMos units will be converted to the ER capability, and future units will too,” BrahMos CEO Sudhir Kumar Mishra said an exclusive conversation with Livefist. Mishra’s team effected three changes to the BrahMos in less than a year in preparation for the ER test today: software changes to the fire control system and mission computer, and miniaturisation of some hardware elements in the propulsion system.

As reported earlier here on Livefist, a ‘final’ BrahMos version, sporting a range of just under 1,000 km, will complete modifications and be ready for a first test by the end of 2019. This was make the BrahMos one of the most formidable stand-off weapon systems in the world, especially when seen in the context of its ship-based, air-launched and submarine-launched versions.

According to a statement, the ER launch today from Kalam Island, Odisha, was witnessed by Deputy Chief of Army Staff, Director General Artillery, a Corps Commander and other senior officers from Indian Army. BrahMos Project Director VSN Murthy, and Programme Director Dashrath Ram along with other senior officers from DRDO and BrahMos were also present during the launch.
