You and @porky_kicker has lapped on to the METEOR term literally and left alone the RAMJET section. I only meant a RAMJET powered AAM.
Out of curiosity

Do you think brahmos with the current airframe and obvious structural limitations will be able to pull even 20 G's . Inorder to do so entire structural composition of brahmos has to changed , possibly aerodynamic design changes will also be required.

I personally feel otherwise it's role as AAM will be limited to slow moving and less maneuvering targets only.

Eg our BMD interceptor AAD can pull only less than 15-20 G's . I forgot the exact figure I think it was around 15 G lateral acceleration.

bhai Saab, engineers will say many things, doesn’t necessarily mean every idea is a valid idea from a user point of view.

engineers are saying they will build a underwater bridge from Dubai to Mumbai, doesn’t mean it will actually get built. There are things called cost benefit analysis and risk assessments.
Bhai Sahab... Look at the irony. When asked why DRDO has not gone with a 3 man crew design which would have brought down the overall weight, the answer was that IA wanted a 4 man crew. The same IA has been using a 3 man crew T-72 and ordering 3 man crew T-90 as MBT.

So show me the invalidity of the 2 or 3 man design. Even now if IA is looking at any other tank, be it T-14, Sprut or K2, all are 3 man crew design. Then why stick with 4 man crew with Arjun?

my commentary is more on over enthusiasm of engineers when they get their limelight.

Mark my words, his statement will be used against IA and MoD for decades to come by “interest groups”.

Frankly NO. Even Dr Sudhir Kr Mishra mentioned it to be anti AWACS and anti fueler system.

Also guys be careful which searching for pics docs etc of Indian and drdo weapons , equipments etc.

Never download them from unknown sites out side of OEM or verified institutional sites.

I believe most of them are salted with trojans by porkis etc .

So fair warning

Thing is you all won't even realise your device is sending out information , both personal and otherwise .
