The air version of Brahmos and its launcher is fully ready to be integrated with the Su-30MKI fighter, and the first armed flight with the supersonic cruise missile will take place soon, Chief of Brahmos Aerospace Sudhir Kumar Mishra has said.
The BrahMos-A is unique, when compared with other aerial missile systems around the world. No air force in any country has such a powerful supersonic cruise missile.
The missile and the launcher are ready. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) has modernised its first multi-role combat aircraft, the Su-30 MKI and integrated the launch system. Recently, we carried out the first flights with the launch system and everything has gone well," Dr Mishra, in an interview to Russian News Agency Ria Novosti said.
He said the information collated from the recent test was under study and the first armed flight is expected to take place by the end of this year.
"After this, missile drop tests will be carried out with dummy missiles, and then the final testing, launching a missile from the plane we hope that this will take place in early 2016. We are taking this very carefully, but tenaciously, to complete our mission.
The integration of the BrahMos missile with the Su-30 MKI will give the Indian Air Force a weapon with a greater operational area.
Su-30 can fly, with refuelling, in the air for a distance in the order of 3000 km and the BrahMos long range means that the missile can be fired from a safe distance, without placing the aircraft itself in danger.
Talking about the main features and advantages of the aerial version of BrahMos, Dr Mishra said the air to ground missile is lighter than the other versions and weighs 2.5 tons. Moreover, it has the same power with a range of 290 km and a speed of 2.8 mach.
It carries a 300 kg warhead and is capable of striking a ground target with a high degree of precision. Arming such a powerful aviation platform as the Su-30 with such a lethal weapon multiplies the air forces capabilities to destroy enemy targets while being fired outside the range of anti-aircraft defence systems.
The BrahMos missile for underwater deployment has already been successfully tested from an underwater launch platform in 2013 to confirm that it perfectly serves the role as the main attack weapon for submarine
The underwater version of missile will be deployed on all six submarines, which are proposed to be build under project P-75i through 'Make in India' route.
"We expect that our government will announce a tender for the P-751 attack submarine. We hope that our missile system will be the best possible choice for the new submarines our government plans to purchase for the Indian Navy," said Dr Mishra.

Major Airbases,Dams,power station,Nuclear installationa and other civilian infrastructure of enemy located very near on international border ...well within the range of Barhmos.

So if your country is making only 20000 MW of power ... few Barhmos will send you in dark ages.
