Why are the Indians so high about their Brahmos?
The missile is REALLY nothing compared with China's YJ-12 and YJ-18,with the former having a range of well over 400km and a cruising speed of Mach 4 plus。This got confirmed in a CCTV programme shown yesterday:
[½ñÈÕ¹Ø×¢]¡°ÁÉÄþ½¢¡±Ê׺½¡°¼ß31¡±Ê×·É ÖйúÇ¿¾üÓÐÐÅÐÄ(20121103)_ÐÂÎĄ̊_ÖйúÍøÂçµçÊǪ́
They are not cruise missiles. YJ-22 is, and dont take it personal, your missiles cruise and attain the speed of sound only in the terminal phase, but BRAHMOS's entire flight is supersonic and the fun part is, it takes different trajectories.
And please, we all know what CCTV is capable of. It can even make subsonic missile cruise at the speed of light.
