You don't have Idea what Brahmos can do..
when some of your citizen can cripple Navy destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67)of Yemen with few Kg of TNT then imagine about 300kg of CL 20 it will be like 1000 kg of TNT hitting a ship.
That was a suicide attack.
Trust me! Their is no counter to suicide attacks due to pure unpredictability.
However, US Naval force is very potent and crew well trained to deal with disaster scenarios. Such a sophisticated force is not easy to overcome and defeat.
I would like to cite the case of
Operation Praying Mantis here.
Keep in mind that both sides used
harpoon missiles in this conflict and still the outcome was one-sided.
Americans understand that key to success is to deny much reaction time to adversaries.
Even if we consider the example of Chinese killer missile; it is still in the testing phase and we do not know what counter measures Americans are planning in response (no offense to my chinese friends here). Read this:
Will China's 'carrier killer' missile change U.S. Navy? - SignOnSanDiego.com
It is important to understand what your enemies are capable off and this is what Americans are doing. Hence, the 'concern'.
Key point is that missiles alone cannot do wonders in any naval conflict. Lots of other factors count as well;
level of prepardness,
planning,
surveillance technologies,
countermeasures,
responses to hostile activities,
deployment strategies,
reaction times, and
moral and training of crews.
Here is one of the American solutions for
Brahmos like threats:
In the absence of JSTER, Americans have
E-2C to detect such targets.
As it is often pointed out;
E-2C are like 'eyes' and 'ears' of American Naval forces in open oceanic environments.
I know you are jealious of SU 30MKI Arjun II, LCA, Insaas etc... you missed Tejas....which I am proud of
India has become the first and only country in the world to have a "maneuverable supersonic cruise missile in its inventory
Singh,
Pakistani are not jealous of Indian accomplishments.
The accomplishments of your defence industry are a driving mechanism for ours; Al-Khalid MBT, JF-17 Thunder, Shaheen II, and Babur cruise missile are all examples of indigenous efforts from our side; not denying foreign assistance, which also applies to Indian efforts.
SU 30 MKI is a highly respected weapon among the Pakistani circles. It is Russian though.
Arjun and LCA have to prove their worth yet.
My friend no offence this video si dedicated to you.

Brahmos is an impressive product. Indeed a great asset for Indian Navy.
However, people generally appreciate 'battle proven' things more. Pure human psychology.
