Barak-8 speed is Mach 2 whereas CM-400AKG speed is Mach 4
The CM 400AKG is flying faster to meet the Barak 8.

Wikipedia isn't reliable source for Barak 8 speed in my opinion, unless you got official statement about it's speedBarak-8 speed is Mach 2 whereas CM-400AKG speed is Mach 4
Fortunately, Barak-8 doesn't need to chase AShMs to destroy them.Barak-8 speed is Mach 2 whereas CM-400AKG speed is Mach 4

There is one specific missile which has been designed from scratch to shoot down BrahMos. It’s the Indo-Israeli Barak-8 SAM. This missile was primarily developed by Israel to equip its warships to protect them from the Yakhont missiles which its neighbor was procuring. Israeli ships carried only short range SAMs and didn’t have modern radars capable of handling a dedicated attack by its enemies using Yakhont missiles.
The answer to this problem was the extremely agile and accurate Barak-8 which packed the best available technology into a medium sized missile. With a max range of 90+ km, it operates in conjunction with the MF-STAR radar which can detect sea skimming missiles at 30-35 km range. It combined a medium range and short range missile into one missile, having a minimum engagement range of just 300 m and max of 90+ km. There are claims that a single Barak-8 can stop a BrahMos as close as 500 m from a ship.
One of the reasons behind the claims is that the Barak-8 is very accurate and has an active homing radar seeker, which enables the ship to technically forget about the missile after its launch and the missile finds the target on its own although the ship does provide guidance and mid-course updates. Since the Barak-8 can have a continuous lock on the incoming missile with its own radar and the MF-STAR can guide 24 Barak-8 missiles to 12 targets simultaneously, the saturation limit for a Kolkata class destroyer against the BrahMos stands at 12 missiles.
This however is a contradiction in itself as the Kolkata class carries the BrahMos as well as the Barak-8. This means that the Indian Navy deploys the poison and the antidote on the same platform.
catch me if you can lolllzzzThe CM 400AKG is flying faster to meet the Barak 8.
your opinion is not a source sirWikipedia isn't reliable source for Barak 8 speed in my opinion, unless you got official statement about it's speed
catch me if you can lolllzzz
I didn't say it is, but still, wikipedia isn't reliable source eitheryour opinion is not a source sir
Pakistan's Harpoon missile?.....a beggar country like Pakistan cannot develop missiles on its own....Pak military beggars must have gone to china or US with a begging bowl in their hand for acquiring these missiles.
mamoo what you are suggesting is thisBarak-8 speed is Mach 2 whereas CM-400AKG speed is Mach 4
They have their limitations like they may not be effective against very low flying target and may depend upon speed of target. And these parameters are always kept top secret!Given the small RCS of incoming low flying cruise missiles, anti aircraft missiles are only good as the detecting radar systems. Honestly, I count CIWS and quick reaction short range SAMs as a real counter of cruise missiles.
mamoo what you are suggesting is this
what it infact about missile interception is this
Yo want me to give a simple counter to barak?Barak 1 is enough for old subsonic harpoon/exocet.Barak-8 is for supersonic sea skimmers - harpoon is not a threat at all.
first of all thanks for replying properly.(thanks why i liked the post)I understand with what you are saying. But, the basic premise that GPS can track an object, which you seem to mention again "GPS has a lock on the target is tracking it" is impossible. Here is why,
1. The visual tracking is by Gaofen-1 as you put it. Now, how does it get the co-ordinates of a moving target? Impossible, unless it has an operator who is manually tracking it and keeping the target 'in focus'.
2. This information has to be passed on to a GIS system which will then overlay the imagery on a spatial data system. This will provide the co-ordinates. Now, for this you will need the image data already existing in your GIS database.
3. Once this data is received, the target data is then fed into the targeting system which is then relayed to the missile.
4. As you can see, in all the above, the GPS does not 'tracking'. It is only a provider of time stamps. What is done is once, the missile is launched the onboard navigation system will use its Beidou chip to tell itself where it is. And then make course corrections. If it has Tercom all the more better.
Hope this explains.
Your sarcastic response only makes you look like a Kid ..
The only advantage the Chinese missile has is that it will give little reaction time to track down and launch a precise anti Missile attack and also with its low RCS by the time the Baraks lock on and launch, it will have mostly 20 to 30 seconds to destroy which makes it all the more potent .. The kill rate is high when a salvo of Baraks are launched against the incoming target.. Answering your sarcastic respnse, 100 Km range is more than enough for targeting and destroying a supersonic anti ship missile theoretically.. But practically inorder to ensure the kill we need atleast two Baraks launched, that's all.. Inorder to explain this your common sense was short on supply, wasn't it??? Nice..
