BrahMos-A Integrated with IAF Sukhoi Su-30MKI

[Chanakya's_Chant]

This is just too big for 290KM.

That isn't the finalized design - that was a mockup from MAKS 2009.

Here's the BrahMos-A air-launched supersonic cruise missile on one of two modified IAF Su-30 MKI fighters on display this year at Aero India. As I reported last month, the BrahMos is all set for its first flight in March. Not a moment too soon. The Indian Air Force, which placed an order for 216 BrahMos-A missiles in 2012 wants 42 of its Su-30s to deploy the BrahMos. HAL, involved in the modification of two airframes at its Nashik facility, will conduct the structural mod, reinforcement and additional avionics/software coding in cooperation with Sukhoi Design Bureau.

Thanks for using an available thread!

BrahMos A on Sukoi looks like someone got horny.... Macho look for the beast I saw.Girls gonna go crazy for selfie with this hunk ...

So Sukoi 30 MKI is officially World's most dangerous fighter .

 

[gslv mk3]

Its a complete Failure than ???

Why so butt-hurt ?

You dont have any other work 24/7 sharing bhramos

Dude please

The RCS of Brahmos alone is enough to be picked up by any PD radar. Thanks to that and SU30's massive engines, it would be easy to spot......

And what are you going to do after you have picked up MKI/Brahmos on your radar ?

 

[帅的一匹]

it just too big. why can't make it smaller？

 

[A$HU]

it just too big. why can't make it smaller？

There will be an even smaller version in the future.

Working on smaller versions

No missile defence in the world has the capacity to intercept BRAHMOS in present. Period !

RCS of BRAHMOS is bare minimum because it does not have wings instead short fins.

Why would i reveal classified information?

It's a big missile and nothing stealthy about and the heat is good for heat seeking missiles. Aster missile hit a supersonic drone, you can find the video. Essm missile did hit supersonic drone to, so what makes you so confidence?

Not impossible to intercept but difficult, given Brahmos being a cruise missile can perform evasive maneuvering

Yes difficult but not impossible. A missile of that caliber and distance have to fly a high altitude, it can never fly long with that speed and skimming the ground. To fly and hit the target it must have a ideal flight path.

1. It has No Wings =>reduced RCS.
2. Low-High trajectory or S shaped trajectory
3. Speed Mach 3 (9 times kinetic energy)
4. Passive homing not Active, means it only listens but not speaks. No chance of Jamming or catching it's radar signature
5. Inertial Navigation system ,it means hardware error is corrected by software.
6. Universal launching capacity, from Ship,Submarines,Silo or Aircraft.
7. Air flow through missile so NO separate breathing tube=> Reduced RCS
8. Booster lies with the missile co-axially and get ejected after burn up.Further reduce length=> Reduced RCS
9. Vertical lift and vertical strike capacity=> can hit mountain bunkers
10.Actively differentiate among objects=> can hit your window in your house precisly

Look your self a video ... specially 4:44 minute

 

[desimorty]

Mate . Why do you think BrahMos can't be used for targeting Aircraft ?

Tankers , AWACS and Aircraft can be targeted . In Air to Air mode.

I was thinking the same thing. The air to air version could hit large aircraft like tankers, and transport aircraft given the fact it has a active radar homing seeker.
Another note, its well established that the ground and sea based Brahmos has a range of 500 km like the orginal PJ-10 on high high and 300 KM low low.
