Russians have not inducted brahmos. They would most likely use onyx or yakhont. I would like to see granit bring used?
If they use Granit, then operational capability of Brahmos cannot be tested completely. Still, they should deploy few Granits to see how a supersonic cruise missile be advantageous. Indian defence think tanks must be analysing the strike capability very closely.

An objective of the Russians is to battle-test some of the new eqpt. And these conflicts offer an excellent marketing exhibition for weapons they would like to sell. Of course that goes with all of them - US, China and the French also.

I see the Buyan-M and Gepard selling very well next year. :D

Seriously, Buyan-M for a 900 ton "corvette" is very very impressive!!!

Don't think so. I think Gepard and Buyan are the biggest ships in the Caspian flotilla.
Thanks
More over krivak is old, and for ASW. So they won't deploy it unless until USN is also present close to them, which is not possible.

Sit back and enjoy the show. If any party wants weapons and ammo, we should give them at top $$$$.

Beautiful video. However, one can question. Like missile with a range of start - 300 km., has flown 5 times more?
