BrahMos Ready for Mountain Warfare

The Army is getting ready to use the missile in warfare after its successful testfiring carried out in the Pokhran missile test range

With an eye to protect the Northeastern states from Chinese incursions, the Army on Monday tested a modified-cum-upgraded Block-III version of its supersonic cruise missile BrahMos, suitable for mountain warfare in a steep dive-cum-target discrimination mode, in Rajasthan’s Pokhran desert.

The testfiring was carried out as an user-trial by the Army’s missile regiment just after 1 PM in the Pokhran missile test range, sources in both the Army and the BrahMos Aerospace said.

“The testfiring was highly successful and the missile, after differentiating among multiple possible targets, hit the bulls eye on its intended target between 40 and 60 km away, which is the maximum range allowed by terrain and habitation constraints in Pokhran,” the sources said.

“The Army had sought modifications in the Block-III version of BrahMos with upgraded target differentiation features, which was provided. This was essentially an user-trial by the Army unit,” the sources said.

“This version of the BrahMos is for mountain warfare,” they added.

India is in the process of raising its first-ever Mountain Strike Corps with headquarters at Panagarh in West Bengal as the offensive formation to counter any Chinese misadventure in its Northeastern states.

This version of the BrahMos is likely to be deployed by missile regiments there, sources told ‘Express’ here.

Interestingly, the Army trial was witnessed by Air Force’s Western Air Command Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Air Marshal S S Soman along with Army’s School of Artillery Commandant Lieutenant General A K Misra. The IAF’s interest in BrahMos is due to the work underway to fit a smaller version of the missile on Sukhoi combat planes.

BrahMos, a Indo-Russian joint venture, is a 290-km range missile that can touch speed of three Mach or three times the speed of sound.

The BrahMos is being configured in all three forms of launch -- surface, submarine and air.

It has already been inducted by the Army in its artillery regiments, while the Navy deploys the missile on its surface warships.

By When is it planned to be inducted?

 

[narcon]

By When is it planned to be inducted?

Its a user's trial so its already there with them.

 

[NEPALESE GURKHA]

Its a user's trial so its already there with them.

What happened to its hypersonic version ?

Very good news. We need more and more precision Strike weapon in our inventory. One highly precise strike may change the outcome of battle. Now it is very difficult to hide weapons underground and in tunnels. Small air strips in isolated area to underground weapon storage of enemy, Nothing is safe now.

Next in Line is Multi target Missile.

 

[NEPALESE GURKHA]

In development .

China has 5 major air base in western sector, close to 70 km from indian boarder so now it is that india can cover this bases. Meanwhile counstruction of 3 IAF base needs to be fasten up.

Yes They are not safe now. They can not take an advantage of Mountain terrine to hide its assets.

Rage is too less as far as Chinese territory is concerned but appropriate for pakistan

Whose range is very less. Brahmos?

This missile can be the nightmare to Chinese infrastructure and weapon storage facilities and air strips. We can neutralize that at our will within 500 KM from our border.

 

[BelligerentPacifist]

So it would now have a almost-vertical descent-to-target capability. Bad news for nations defending against India.

Brahmos range is less than 300 km, as per UN convention transfer of tech or joint dev of missile with a range of more than 300 km is banned and if it reaches 500 km then still chinese railway connecting golmud and lasha is nt affected which will be crucial means of supply for PLA during any possible conflict.

 

[kaykay]

Hell yeah. Though waiting for Brahmos-2 and Nirbhay test.

Don't worry. There are lots of missiles on both sides to destroy each other in any nuclear conflict but then 'Its never gonna happen'. Everybody loves his country so wouldn't do anything stupid.
