FIRST LOOK: The Air-launched BrahMos On A Su-30MKI

[Bl[i]tZ]

Perhaps the first photos of a BrahMos integrated on one of two IAF Su-30MKIs earmarked to test the air-launched variant of the supersonic cruise missile. I found these pictures in the new BrahMos calendar. While carriage tests and integration tests have been carried out, a first test-firing is unlikely to happen before the end of this year. Development and integration of the air-launched version has been delayed owing to major modifications for the new role, which has included challenges in addressing aerodynamic stability and flame sustenance. In fact in 2007, the Su-30MKI as a platform was briefly dropped from plans owing to the prospect of major time overruns if the team went ahead with reducing the BrahMos's bore diameter. It was a time when the Sukhoi Design Bureau had put its price up and had accorded low priority to the task. All that's behind the team now as it lays the groundwork for a test firing, hopefully this year.

These are from the static IAF MKI parked at AI 2011 displaying a mock Bhrahmos (found using a quick google search):

Second pic seems to be of a SU-34 (of course the IAF operating 0 of these machines). Incompetent in defence reporting shows again.

GREAT news!!Brahmos+Sukhoi Super 30MKI=Enemies' Worst nightmare.I think if every thing goes on schedule,air launced Brahmos should enter into operational service by 2015-16.

how many brahmos can take?

Kya PLEASE koy batane ki takleef karenge ki ye JIN kya bala hai??Anyone??I'm weak in hindi guys.

 

[syntax_error]

not a valid pick ...
The Missile which will be air launched i dont think will have the nose cap which is used to give the missile a horizontal trajectory which is required only in the case of vertical launch and is used immediately after a vertical launch to change the missiles direction from vertical to horizontal...
no baseless thread....
and very very bad reporting

human body is made from three main elements 1) AIR 2)WATER 3)SOIL but JINS are made only from one element "THE FIRE" ACC. TO HOLY QURAN

UNLIKE GHOSTS JINS ARE PERSONALITIES WITH SUPER NATURAL POWERS and JINS may be bad or good.....as what path they choose

IN EASY LANGUAGE JINS ARE A INTERCONNECTING PATH BETWEEN GHOSTS AND HUMANS.

Like joekrish said one, at least with this early version, but there are already developments started of a smaller and lighter version, with the aim of 3 x Brahmos on MKI.
