BrahMos - Submarine launched version

[sayareakd]

Once you get a successful design, The applications are endless..

:thumb: in the words of DRDO chief, it is just the matter of scale up the design.

K4 and K6 are coming.

 

[WMD]

When vertically installed in vertical cannisters within the pressure-hull of a nuclear-powered SSGN, the BrahMos-1 increases the 'offensive power' of the SSGN without compromising on the SSGN's 'defensive power' as the torpedo tubes can be fully utilised for engaging in undersea warfare while operating in the self-seeking hunter-killer mode.

TRISHUL

Where is nirbhay slcm

 

[sayareakd]

Where is nirbhay slcm

first let them get regular nirbhay 100% successful, then it will be only matter of time.

 

[LETHALFORCE]

Kilos are refitted to lauch Klub missiles. I think they will be able to fire Brahmos.

Brahmos was supposed to be fitted on kilos atleast five years ago but never happened
Russian were only interested in selling klubs for the kilo.

 

[sayareakd]

L&t has made those universal launchers plus have experiance for submarines and mini subs, so dont be surprised if they come up with towed submarine with brahmos tubes for kilo subs.

 

[sayareakd]

It can be unmanned towed and remortly controlled.

 

[pmaitra]

I think there is something brewing behind the scenes. Recall how the ATV (Arihant) project was shrouded in mystery for years, with only occassional murmurs here and about.

I would definitely like to speculate, that India is not only planning on a few Arihant Class submarines, of which there is certainty, but is also planning to produce a few others, very similar to the Arihant, but with strike capability. Whether they will be nuclear powered on not is difficult to predict, but it is very possible that they would be nuclear powered, and optimized for high speed tactical and attack roles, and might actually be a little smaller than the Arihant Class.

The other possibility is, as some have stated, that DRDO acted on its own to produce this submarine launched version of the BrahMos. Perhaps they could also be installed on some conventionally powered attack submarines.

 

[Ray]

I believe that there are no subs from which it can be launched.

And that there are no subs foreseen in the near future!

 

[Bachchu Yadav]

I don't why people even bother to discuss k4 k5 k6 and Arihant here .... It is anti-ship missile, K* are land attack missiles.

People here are so much obsessed with Range,Accuracy of missile is secondary issue.

 

[Bachchu Yadav]

Brahmos(This version) is not built for Arihant,but for future 75-I project which will be attack submarine.

Brahmos has far more range than it's contemprories ... Look at other anti-ship missiles.

If Brahmos is backed by a Potent Radar .. then Brahmos will be the single most fearsome missile for ships cruising into Indian Waters.

^^^ brahmos has radar and it is good one.

What that mean ? Missile has a Radar ?

quality of your post is not so encouraging now a days ..!

I mean a radar at ship to track object 290KM away is by no means easy task.

you see if i tell you everything then enemy will also take note of it.

so if other understand how it works they can take steps to avoid it.

Re: India Test Fires Underwater Version of Brahmos Missile

The test is only the beginning. It has been fired from a pontoon. They real thing will be when it is fired from one of our subs. I think the missile will be more suited for anti ship operations than land attack when launched from a sub. It can be a carrier killer!

being the carrier killer that it probably is and given that there are other carrier-killers around even if not hypersonic , one would have expected that the AC is by now part of an out-moded system of planning naval operations - in a real all-out war scenario

let me be more specific - the AC is only for operations close to home where a heck of a lot of protection can be given and represents an extension of the land base. Alternatively, it can be used for threatening , bullying , showing strength to a less developed naval force which lacks the missiles ( eg brahmos amongst others ) or before an all-out war has developed

it is a supply-mechanism which in today's warfare, would be an easy target and largely defenceless - given the hypersonic missiles that are being developed especially those which can be submarine-launched.

unless the sending nation has a tremendous strength advantage over the targeted nation(s) , the AC is a pretty useless or rather out-moded piece of equipment - in a real all-out war scenario

now that should be a provocative-enough statement ?

K15 tested from pontoon platform.

Brahmos missile test

this was launched from submarged platform

Re: India Test Fires Underwater Version of Brahmos Missile

^^^ no crane to bring up the pontoon like in the K15 launch pic............... may be they dont need to retrieve the pontoon :thumb:

 

[sayareakd]

 

[sayareakd]

Wont be surprised if popup test happen first from pontoon then from submarged platform.
