What is the current status of a potential sale of the air launched variant of Brahmos to the Russian military? I think Russia would be eyeing the air launched version of Brahmos because afaik Brahmos is more advanced than the oniks. Yakhont which is a variant of the brahmos was developed in 1999. Brahmos program had begun a few years before the Yakhont (Not to confuse with the Oniks, Yakhont is a variant developed primarily towards exports from baseline Oniks). I think Brahmos is much better than Yakhont in terms of sensors. But chances of Russia buying them is next to none. Nonetheless Brahmos has great potential for export, already bagged a deal with the Phillipines!
