With MTCR done, India to test extended range Brahmos next month

[Akasa]

At cruising speeds they can be taken out by aircraft yea? But if they cruise at supersonic speeds , then we would need HQ-9 or HQ-18\21

good thing Russia and China each developed improved mobile versions of THAAD. Will be useful for cruise missiles like brahmos and ballistics like k-4\5

A few notes:

• THAAD-types missiles are designed to intercept IRBMs (~1000-4000 km ranged missiles) at the edge of the atmosphere; these do not work against cruise missiles (for the latter, the HQ-16B, FM-3000, & HQ-17 would possibly be effective)
• THAAD-type missiles intercept IRBM warheads mostly at the terminal stage; for midcourse IRBM/ICBM interception, one would need missiles similar to the GBI, HQ-26, SC-19, or DN-1/2/3. Midcourse interception guarantees a much higher chance of interception.

Our reinvention of the wheel strategy has done quite fine with Ballistic missiles, warships, radars etc.

We only adopt codevelopment strategy if the technology is too difficult for us.



I'll love to see your 'THAAD' intercepting a MIRVed 6000 km range K 5.

Theirs ballistic missile defense is as effective as ours BMD ...

wait for 3-4 years, brahmos would look puny when the real hypersoMs arrive.

 

[hussain0216]

JVs ? Said who ? A butt-hurt Pakistani ?

Reality!

BrahMos for example basically a Russian missile limted on purpose by the Russians to comply with missile export regulations

Now those regulations are removed they upgrade the software to take restrictions off

You cant even describe it as a JV, you basically bought it

 

[gslv mk3]

Reality!

You claimed Agni, K series, Arihant, Kolkata class, AAD, PDV, Arudhra, Rohini/Revathi are all JVs.

BrahMos for example basically a Russian missile limted on purpose by the Russians to comply with missile export regulations

Wrong again. The Russian missile in the question is an Anti-Ship missile. It's not a land attack CM/SLCM/Air launched CM & those were successfully developed in India.

Source ?

Source for HQ-19 chinese mobilized THAAD version.https://wapbaike.baidu.com/item/红旗-19导弹/18030376?adapt=1&fr=aladdin

You are right it's used for ballistic missiles with range of more than 3000 km and less than 4500 km.

And Yes HQ-17 and HQ-16 are very effective against cruise missiles. But the range is just 130 -170 ish kilometers.

 

[Kompromat]

And 700km is enough to target anything India has in store for Pakistan.

600 km is more than enough for Pakistan as it is a small narrow country.

[Callsign Chaos]

And 700km is enough to target anything India has in store for Pakistan.

Not enough for most of India's defence factories which are located in central or southern India.

 

[chandrak]

Still a 100km less than Babur.

Well this thread is about brahmos, then why derailing the thread by comparing it with Babur? The article is about increased brahmos range not comparison between brahmos and Babur..

 

[Damon Salvatore]

Still a 100km less than Babur.

What Is The Speed Of Babar Kindly Tell Me ..

Grow Up And Build Some Thing With Which U Guys Really Fight With PAK.

You have problem with us building our institutions in our own land ?

 

[khanmubashir]

But 3 times faster, and can be launched from air, land and submarine (with no compromise on range or speed)

Only havily modified sukhoi can of smaller range version one only while our raad alcm can b fixed on any jet without modification and had longer range as for slcm brHmos hadn't been tested successfully

 

[PAK01]

Dont need it deep, even if it reaches CPEC, its enough.
For deep strikes there are other options.

(CPEC) hahahhahahahah u planned for CPEC...... nice joke.......its ur Nightmare...Beta

SLCM was tested sometimes back. Also Brahmos is not the only ALCM we have.
