Seriously how authentic is that article by Russian. You take it as bible? Russian too have history of bragging and fabricating news. For example, russia sells khanstan CWIS to China and yet most CWIS type 730 is installed onboard our ship and not khanstan system.
If Russian is the one assisting China in type054A frigate. Why did the HQ-16 VLS system is not install onboard Russian ships? Don't tell me slanted launch version is more advanced than VLS Version? And if finance is the problem. They could have exported the more advanced VLS version to India destroyer but no evidence suggested that. india destroyer is still installed with the obsolete slanted launch system done by Russian.
The Russian military author is just having sourgrape that China has once again surpass them in area of ship building.
Or you want to deny China is ahead of Russian in UAV? How many UAV build by Russian can carry out AT role?
Wonder why are you so in denial when when whole world gives credit to brahmos and Russian defense industries . Oy makes me think about the way people been misinformed in China about their capabilities and others .

The only way to safeguard from BrahMos missile is to run away

The main advantage of BrahMos is – it can go at a supersonic speed – very fast and enemies do not have any evasive system to defend against it. And if a missile is launched, the enemy has only one way to safeguard – that is to run away from his position. Unfortunately, the time available to run away from the ship or from the land target is not much, said BrahMos Aerospace president Sudhir Kumar Mishra in an interview with The Voice of Russia."
Even though the link I gave u from Russian source the amount of details and possible scenario is well explained .
The BrahMos is not an invincible missile. It is just a bigger headache for the ones at the receiving end of it. With a decent SAM system, you may be able to defend your ship against attacks by subsonic missiles. But to defend yourself from the BrahMos, you need an expensive, high-end, layered missile defense system. If you have powerful and networked Air Defense systems like the US Navy and the Royal Navy, you have a chance of survival. But smaller navies using basic air defense systems don’t stand a chance. Their only hope is prayer.
Go through this thread : How to defend Brahmos?- American analysis.
Some points from it :
- Mach 3 (2500-3000 km/hr) speed (which makes it very difficult to detect and track)
- 300 kg Semi-Armor piercing warhead (which causes massive damage upon impact)
- Very high kinetic energy on impact (which disintegrates smaller ships and cripples larger ones)
- S-manoeuver just a few seconds before impact (which makes interception very difficult)
- 300 km range in Hi-Lo altitude profile
- 400+ km range in Hi-altitude profile
- No wings (makes it harder to shoot down as winged missiles plunge into water after suffering wing damage)
