1. The Russian and Indian doctrines are different. Their main enemies aren't sitting next to their doors (as in India's case) but thousands of miles away.
2.BrahMos is based on the Russian Missile P-800 Oniks, with the Russian contribution mainly on propulsion and Indian contribution on navigation. Russia inducting BrahMos means, they would be outsourcing tech from India to their country. They would avoid that to the best I guess.
3. The very idea of BrahMos as far as India is concerned was to form a JV to put in our expertise along with expertise of an experienced player in the areas we lacked to build a tailor made, world class weapon at home, in which we succeeded. BrahMos is a game changer for India.
Thanks for a solid reply. Your response is what the forum needs instead of endless personal attacks.
I agree that Brahmos is a major step for Indians. If India would form a joint corporation to build a missile, why not do it for planes or tanks. The results would definitely not be worse.
