What's new

IN Brahmos load out.

All Klubs - talwar, shivalik and Rajput will be upgraded to 8 cell brahmos by 2018.

Where did you acquire this news about Shivalik's Klubs being replaced with BrahMos by 2018? That is interesting.

If anyone has any brilliant plans on how we can shoot down the Brahmos, now would be a good time for some ideas.

A good point-defence missile system will dramatically increase a ship's survivability. The FM-90N which I believe PN has got on the Zulfiqar-class FFG should be more than enough for a ship that size.

Do they provide 100% fool-proof protection against BrahMos or similar missiles? No, absolutely not. Even the ESSM, CAMM/SeaCeptor cannot. But investing too much in ship-defence won't make sense unless you decide to go all the way - and you don't go all the way for just a few midget frigates to protect.

A far smarter move would be to procure only the bare minimum capabilities for the surface fleet, and spend most of the money on underwater capabilities. However, the sad part is that the surface fleet will inevitably suffer.

Same VLS. It was always the plan.
 
This is only the load out of Ships Armed with Brahmos at any given time, the actual numbers stockpiled in Armory or carried by Auxiliary ships to supply front line warships and for Training purpose etc is not known.
Sorry there is nothing called auxillary ships carrying anything. Brahmos reload can happen only at port.
