BrahMos-equipped Su-30MKIs hit bull’s eye as Gaganshakti-2018 concludes

[Panzerfaust 3]

SOURCE: INDIA TODAY



After carrying out extensive missions on the borders with China, the Indian Air Force has carried out strikes against locations from where the Chinese will gain entry closer to the Indian waters.

Su-30MKIs fitted with BrahMos missiles carried out strikes in the Malacca Straits which will be the entry point of the Chinese military in the Indian Ocean region. The aircraft also carried out a sortie of over 2,000 kilometers where they were provided mid-air refuelling by Ilyushin 78 tankers and direction by the Airborne Early Warning Systems (AWACS), the sources said.

The air force is carrying out exercise Gaganshakti which is at the moment in its terminal phase and has showcased strength of the Indian Air Force to adversaries on both Pakistan and China front.

The Sukhoi-launched BrahMos can hit targets from a range of 300 kms and can destroy aircraft carriers of the People’s Liberation Army Navy.

During Gaganshakti, which concluded recently, the air force focused greatly on tackling a two front war scenario. In the first phase, its western command and south-western air command completely suppressed the enemy on the western front while in the second phase, the formations focused on the Chinese frontiers.

Brahmos on MKIs is really a deadly combo for anybody to counter. Brahmos with ultra long range for missile with its class having multiple trejactory in terminal phase is a nightmare for INDIA'S ENEMYIES. They will really be helples when Brahoms shall be fired on enemy ship from a 500 km away. Just close your eyes and pray god (As said by an American analyst).

its mach 3 supersonic missile and not true cruise missile which can cruise 3-5 meters at terminal phase instead Brahmouse can travel 10 -30 meters at terminal phase so that mean it has big IR and radar RCS detect quite early at terminal phase, so that mean its easily intercept-able by ship short range SAMs like US evolved sea sparrow, UK, CAAM and chinese FN-3000, the main problem for intercepting supersonic missiles is reaction time, subsonic anti ship missiles have high reaction time that means the target ship will launches more anti missiles at the target (ANTI SHIP MISSILE) if detected early lets say 40 km subsonic anti ship cruise missile cover that distance 90 seconds, whereas supersonic anti ship missiles cover that distance 25-50 seconds depending on speed and that is the main advantages of supersonic anti ship missiles over subsonic cruise missile @HariPrasad

Do you have video evidence? You know, the thing that Indians ask for whenever Pakistan makes such claims. Or are we to take your word for all this?

What do you think happens when a missile strikes a Ship at 3 times the speed of sound ?

 

[Akasa]

That is the entire job of the missile. To get from point A to point B.

So if its a missile, that is exactly what it will do.

What will stop it?

And so we're going to assume that there are no other missiles designed to stop the first missile from going point A to point B?

What do you think happens when a missile strikes a Ship at 3 times the speed of sound ?

All modern naval ships having pretty good EW suits which can blind or deviate any moderns nti ship missiles,so technically soespeak,once they detect missile launch they can easily defy any mussile. Since the the power full em wavedthey emit will be traveling at lights speed,they can easily blind mere mach3 missile.
What I meant to say is Brahmos alone can't take a carrier,you need proper planning,proper tactics and a better counter EW suits to avoid early detection of our missile launch.

What do you think happens when a missile strikes a Ship at 3 times the speed of sound ?

Not much. The speed alone creates a bang equivalent to 200 Kg of Explosives and it can carry another 200 Kg as warhead. So thats a bang of 400 Kg

[Akasa]

None that detect and stops a missile travelling low at mac 3.

That's a fairly bold assumption to make, especially when countries like the US, China, and Russia have target missiles that can mimic the kinematics of supersonic missiles to evaluate their own defense systems. Is there any technical reason why you believe that no anti-missile system can track a large, heated platform travelling at high speed?

 

[Ultima Thule]

really ? I was not aware Navies need to train for war. You are so smart.

Is the same true for army and air force too ?

Brahmouse has a big IR and Radar RCS and its not true anti ship cruise missile like subsonic ones which travels 3-5 meters at terminal phase whereas Brahmouse can travel 10 -30 meter above the water that means it easily be intercepted by specialized ship short range SAM like US evolved sea sparrow, UK CAMM and Chinese FN-3000 @MagicMarker it not a invincible anti ship missile @MagicMarker

Why do you assume that attacking missile follows a simple linear or parabolic trajectory. One of the defining features of Brahmose is that it maneuvers a lot. There is a S maneuvers in the terminal phase to mount a top attack. I doubt there are any missiles which can out-maneuver a missile going at super-sonic speed doing terminal attack maneuvers.

Lastly, do you have a sea-borne system that can detect AND track a cruise missile flying at 3 mach? IR can detect but you will not be able to track and prepare a firing solution to fire and guide an interceptor to this missile. And if you somehow still fire an interceptor, anticipating missile trajectory, it will do terminal maneuvers to foil such attempts.

As of now, there is nothing Chinese or Pakistani ships do to avoid being hit by the missile once it is launched.

 

[Daghalodi]

Why ?
You are already scared?

This is just anothet drill for measuring possibility and optimum use of all assets

Scared of what? Indians??? Hell NO!!!!

I was just curious why are indians so insecure talking about two front wars and than talking about business as usual

and the prove that Brahmouse doing S-maneuver to avoid interception show som kind of prove/clip for S maneuver of Brahmouse @Shamsher1990 and do research before you post @Shamsher1990 navy ships has a radars to detect/track/guide anti missile for target @Shamsher1990 currently almost all major navies have AESA on ship that detect/track/guide their weapons to to the target and do some basic research then come here to post @Shamsher1990

As of now, there is nothing Chinese or Pakistani ships do to avoid being hit by the missile once it is launched

oOk pakistani ship are defenseless against Brahmouse, and why do think Chinese is ships are also defenless because of your false supa powa ego @Shamsher1990 they have FN-3000 Chinese equivalent of US RAM and ESSM @Shamsher1990 how can you defend your ship against Chinese YJ-12 and YJ-18 (range 400 and 600 km respectivetly) with almost same speed as Brahmouse @Shamsher1990

There's one system that has some meaningful chance against a BrahMos salvo:
Barak 8.
