That is because the details were not released in public. If it was, i certainly missed it. In anycase, the manouver was indeed performed, so that clears things up for you. End Phase manouvers are performed by the missile, evasive actions are initiated. Then there has been further information, that they want more manouvers, the S shaped manouver was one of the tests.Yes I remember hearing about the "s" that it made during testing not tell me what height and what area this "s" covered. I asked at the time and no-one answered.
Yes its speed, and its guidance controller. This missile is the direct successor of Yakhont. The guidance system, makes this missile highly prescise at these speeds. That was one of the main problems, how to have a guidance system that is capable enough at such extreme speeds. Its kinetic speed gives it a hell of a punch, let alone the warhead, whose blast would be increased automatically by a drastic amount because of the speed, E=M*c*c.The advantage to the Brahmos is it's speed and it's speed and thats it.
Now here's the catch. Even if you DO manage to detect it, its range as of now is 300km, and you wont be detecting it as soon as it is launched. The speed of the missile assures that there is no countaction avialable.It can be tracked by Awacs and thus it would capable of being shot down at longer range as well.
I dont think your quite getting it key, there is NO system that would be able to hit the BrahMos missile once launched. Not even quick reaction missile systems would be able to engage BrahMos because they would get an EXTREMELY small window to react. On top of that, you add the end phase manouvering, and you will realise what BrahMos means in this equation.
Correct. It seems you are aware. Its fuking friggin HUGE. I dunno how they plan to put 3 of these on a Su-30. I dont think it can carry more than one. That is my personal opinion.I am sure it would have impressive destructive abilities by it's size alone.
