There goes INS Alleppey,the warship named after my home district :(

I did not noticed it....... the missile travelled 200kms, but cochin to aleppy is only 70 kms :P
 
Any idea about the flight profile...i mean was it a mix of Hi-Lo path or mostly lo-lo path/sea skimming mode...

For some time from A&N the last few Brahmos has been rumoured to be low profile sea skimming modes and is closer to 220 kms (Car Nicobar to Trak Island with S turn Maneuvers and at times double S turns) in that mode versus initial tests results in lo-lo profile at 90kms in 2009-10 timeline.. Experts have always said lo-lo profile or sea skimming mode to be more like 1/3rd kind of actual range in hi-hi flight path or more around 2.5X if its mix of Hi-Med-lo flightpath.. So its necessary to understand if the actual test of hitting Allepy is from vertical shootdown or horizontal hit to get a hint of at least terminal flightpath and guess about the rest.. Initially it may achieve a height from launching before going for course correction of course.. Would love to see and find out whats the true flight path this time..
There was one chinese article, claiming that Brahmos have been downgraded delibrately using lo-lo profile to show the world that it comply with the MTCR, and in relality Brahmos range is more than the official range.

Thats why i said flite profile sir.. as i feel the way points may be put in a manner where it may have done multiple S turns and may have travelled in a manner where its covering much larger distance and different waypoints. Or its a clear cut lo-lo profile earlier block missile where lo-lo distance of flight path was almost 90 kms..

Sorry mate, that was PJ...... the distance i mentioned is between two cities (cochin and aleppy) gslv got it.......
 
So Kochi destroyed Alleppey. o_O
I think we must stop testing Brahmos. We've had way too many IMHO.
 
I have a problem in the article which states that Brahmos is best anti ship cruise missile in the world. Though Brahmos is the top notch, but the best weapon is with the Russian.

Think about the missile combo of next batch of destroyers,

Brahmos 1/2 + Nirbhay + Barak 8 + Maitri
Indo-Russian + Indian + Indo-Israel + Indo-French

Nirbhay is indigenous technology and its one of the biggest acheivement of Indian scientists in Cruise Missile technology.



 
Pakistanis be like "oh it passed indian paint job. . Oh it failed indian technology... Oh pakistanis buy american they r the best, pakistanis buy chinese they r the best, pakistanis buy russian they r the best." pakistanis spoking angrezi they r the best...
