Hypersonic Brahmos Missile to be ready by 2017

[GR!FF!N]

If Brahmos is such an awesome weapon, how come Russia is not using it? No one seems to focus on this question but its the key question. The answer is the same reason that China is not using JF-17. Because the system is created only for export. And in defence industry, export goods are not up to par as compare to the domestic ones. So no matter how much of a wonder weapon Brahmos is, Russia has something better that they will never share with India until they acquire something else even better.

they will use it in their gorshkov class frigates and few of their new submarines..due to huge weight,Russia have to change design of their warships/submarines if they want to use it for the present platforms.

I have so many times how India is going to help Vietnam by providing them with supersonic Brahmos I always had the impression that it has already been inducted. So, if war breaks out in the next five years between achina and Vietnam, all you could do would be to help them out with some prototypes or what? Incredible India!

lol..the thread is on Brahmos-2,not Brahmos-1 which is already inducted over few years now.Brahmos-1 is more than capable to take care of Chinese warships(if needed).but we are not sure that Vietnam got that missiles or not as India first want to fulfill its inventory of over 1000 missiles for its force.

You must be thinking the russian scientists are just like the indian ones, absolutely clueless and helpless on what they are doing. LOLOL.

nah...thats what the reason they never put Brahmos on their warship..

According to unspecified sources the BrahMos could be fitted to the updated Gorshkov class of frigates which will be entering the Russian navy soon.[57] The defence ministry reported that due to the size and hull specifications of the BrahMos, few if any of its new ships will be able to accommodate it.[58]

so,i don't think russians are clueless like you..

Chinese troll, did u even cared to read the topic at hand?

I can argue to that, Brahmos doesn't have terrain hugging capabilities.
On top of that, Tomahawk flies treetop level around 7-8m atlest (I got this from Babur specs), any modern SAM doesn't have capabilities to shoot that low.

What dude , you know Brahmos can fly as low as 3 meters , it has air breathing engine just like fighter plane engine with after burners (not exactly but for comparison i said) . Tomahawk fails in deserts and mountains where as Brahmos can escape terrain and can perform steep dive . I dont know about Brahmos II but Brahmos I is terrain hugging , its very difficult for interceptor missile to lose altitude as fast as Brahmos or perform supersonic steep dive .

Why you want it Stealth????
I read in some forum that TH can be intercepted by fighter planes.

Yes Tomahawk can be intercepted by A2A missiles in head on mode very easily . But the fighter should have BVR capability . Infact they work fine only when flying over sea .

The only person clueless here is you ...... Doesnot know what he is talking ....

This hypersonic missile is great threat for Pakistan. It can unbalance the region. Nobody can stop incoming missile with greater than 7 Mach speed.

Only your army has the capability to stop . We wont be using them unless you attack first . So dont attack us , have good time .

From every where I read, Brahmos has sea skimming capability. But no terrain hugging capability. Also, its not sea skimming in all its flight path. It actually flies very high until the the closing stage, it than drops down to sea level as it approaches the target.

don't worry buddy..be nice and we'll not use it one you...

God willing there should never be a situation where we have to use missile against other.. its for Chinese

As i said its range is 600-700km, thats why it is so bulky , it has aircrafts like engine that helps to cruise as low as 3 meters . Its range will be decreased if it cruises at low altitude as it consumes more fuel . No missile would be in terrain hugging mode when used on mountains, deserts . We are planning to make it operational in terrain hugging mode too in mountains where it follows the path on the river so that it cant be detected . It flies so high only to keep the range secure so that it can cross much distance even while losing its altitude .

I thought block-III had those features ?
