India has decided to deploy a BrahMos regiment operating the latest Block III version of the supersonic cruise missile to defend Arunachal Pradesh against China, which the country claims is a part of South Tibet.

The deployment comes in the wake of reports of a huge build-up of Chinese military forces along the 4,057 kilometer Line of Actual Control (LAC). Arunachal Pradesh is the most northerly state along the LAC and one of the most threatened by China. To be deployed to Arunachal Pradesh will be the 864 Regiment of the Indian Army’s 41st Artillery Division. The regiment will operate around four to six BrahMos batteries and three to four Mobile Autonomous Launchers (MALs). The regiment will command up to 100 BrahMos Block III cruise missiles, each armed with a 290 kg warhead. It is the fourth missile regiment to be equipped with BrahMos.

The fire-and-forget BrahMos Block III possesses unique trajectory maneuver and steep-dive capabilities that allow it to hit targets hidden on the reverse slopes of mountains. It can steep dive up to 75 degrees. It has nine times more kinetic energy than sub-sonic missiles and is the preferred precision-strike weapon of the Indian armed forces. Having a circular error probability (CEP) of only one meter and a combined hi-lo trajectory, its pinpoint accuracy and evasive maneuvering capabilities would make it a difficult target for Chinese air defense systems. The Block III version was successfully test-fired in December 2010 from Integrated Test Range at Chandipur off the Orissa coast.

The land-attack version of BrahMos has been operational in the Indian Army since 2007. BrahMos can engage ground targets from as low as 10 meters with minimal collateral damage. It is capable of being launched from multiple platforms like submarines, ships, aircraft and land-based MALs.

Lot of talk about brahmos these days,i am not downplaying it's ability. But why to put all our eggs in a same basket. IA army should deploy silo based shourya missiles also.which is more deadlier than brahmos except in terms of accuracy, but the shear size of warhead will minimize that shortcomings too.

Good step, a credible defence on our side will discourage any misadventure by our neighbour(s), which is good for all of us including them.

Brahmos is India - Russia relationship benchmark and flag bearer. Lots of flak over CAG report where Russian side issues are talked about. Even though MKI has reached just over 60% operational availability lots of LRUs yet to be localised and spares issues still exist which we are trying to solve before the annual India Russia summit or it will become a point to be raised from Indian side.

Thus Brahmos news and self praise is more of a effort to stop the damage caused by multiple issues and try and build a much better image for public perception. Russia knows Western Arms are now slowly becoming far more lucrative with US also joining the fray (at least on paper). So any more negative news and propaganda hurts their interests badly.

But how it's operative effectiveness compares with shaurya? I think 600km+ range along with its hypersonic velocity,payload nd single digit accuracy also has to be taken in to consideration,yeah Brahmos has its own advantages too.
