Having everything it needs is the reason why India can not develop superior weapon.
By the way.
Copy is the fastest way to deeply understand a device.
USA & Russian were never shamed of copy NAZI weapons.
Faster missile is hard to intercept.
But its range is limited.
The range of LRASM is over 1000km.
With stealth tech it is as hard to intercept as the hypersonic missile.
By the way,ask Russians if brahmos is the best ASCM in the world.
They would tell you the truth.
They are testing.
X51 & AHW.
But all failed.
We have WU14(named by the Pentagon,the real name is unknow).
But this kind of weapon needs decades to develop.
You can not rely on it know.
Brahmos-M is more practical than Brahmos-2.
Brahmos-2 is only an ideal. Even American is still developing such kind of weapon. It's a future weapon. We will not be interested unless there are news of successful test.
Although Brahmos-M is a miniaturized version. It is claimed to have same range...
Yes,a mach 3 target in sea skimming is very hard to intercept.
Although we have great point defence systems(1130),one cannon may only take 1 missile down at the last phase.
But a missile like Brahmos or Ruby or CX-1 take sea skimming mode for whole time will cut their range to half.
It's ideal...
