    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    You yourself said there is no official statement on the range increase. There is however definitely an official statement on it's speed increase. So "fact of the matter" is that Brahmos II has the same range and more speed, as of now. Anything else is an opinion. Yes, that is what I wanted...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    And why do you not trust Wikipedia, if I may ask? I can easily provide you with another link. But for that wikipedia has to be proved wrong first!! In non-classified stuff, wikipedia is absolutely trustworthy. And for classified stuff, nothing is trustworthy. It has become a fashion...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    Well since there is no official confirmation, I would treat it as a conjecture at best. I agree. But the point was specifically about Brahmos II and the intent of its development wrt China. Regards, Anoop

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    But where is the fact about increasing the range in "Brahmos II"? That is all I ask? Because the entire supposition that Brahmos II is for China was argued based on the fact that it will have an increased range. So just one question, Are you saying Brahmos II in future (by whatever name it...

    Oh I did not understand many things. :) I did not understand why he brought MTCR into picture when it was never in the picture. He talked about increase in range, and then went on to say it is a hypersonic cruise missile (which I agree is a fact) but the question was on the range. I haven't...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    You mentioned "He is right in his saying. BrahMos II is basically a hypersonic version of the BrahMos the engine is already tested at mach 5.26 in labs. And as it is developed in India there is no restriction of MTCR. Hence it can have long range. Hope this clarifies." You had mentioned...

    :) On a personal note, I do not like to use sarcasm to prove a point because there are always others more knowledgeable than I am and with them, no matter how much I seem to know, I always feel I know nothing. Regards, Anoop.

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    I have followed quite a few of your posts and have liked your arguments most of the times. Suffice to say, I do feel you know what a strategic bomber is. However if that is to test my knowledge, unfortunately, in this world of internet age, I can google that up real quick and tell you the answer...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    Let's step back. :) My question to Mr Malay was why is Brahmos II developed with the intention of using it against China. To which you gave the following arguement "He is right in his saying. BrahMos II is basically a hypersonic version of the BrahMos the engine is already tested at mach 5.26...

    First of all I apologize for digressing from the topic I myself had raised it twice in this thread and I am guilty of doing it now. But since it follows logically on Brahmos talk, I continue. But if any moderator feels I should stop, please do let me know. Okay so we have made Brahmos...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    Hi, Why is Brahmos II being developed in anticipation of its use against China? I mean how do we propose to use it? I do disagree with you here but I could be wrong. Just wanted to know if that is something for a fact or if it is your opinion? Brahmos is not yet successful in the AF...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    Since this is the first day here, and in this context, I will just say this only one time, I as an Indian would say IAF is the best in the world and likewise I would expect every Pakistani to say PAF is the best in the world, every American to say USAF is the best in the world, so on and so...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    1.) Do you mean they are stealthy in design? or because they fly so low? 2.) I do not know hence I ask, when you say they travel at sub sonic speed to reduce radar signature do you mean the heat signature? I think, and please do correct me if I am wrong, that cruise missiles fly at subsonic...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    "to avoid radar detection" is not the same as "no radar can detect it". Generally cruise missiles are designed to fly "hugging" the ground to avoid radar detection. By radar, it is meant, ground radars. But there are many other non-ground based radars which do detect them. Besides most of...

    I am curious here. And I do not know the answer hence I ask. What is the G value you have in mind here? The reason I ask, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that we are talking about an old technology in terms of when it was designed, the air frame model etc. The modern pilot suits and...

    1.) Looks like the guidance system has failed miserably. We have completely moved from PAF and it's role in war planning by Indian Military strategist. 2.) That is a very generalized statment, IMHO. It depends on what kind of a missile defence system a country has. If the idea is to know and...

    For Indian war planners, is the PAF their worst fear?

    I find the discussion digressing a lot really. Coming back to the original question, I find it rather amusing. Any professional military in the world, unless engaged in a sea battle in international waters, which really never happens, would always be wary of the opponent's air assets. I do...
