BrahMos missile test-fired from new naval ship, hits target

Supersonic cruise missile BrahMos, with a strike-range of over 290 kms, was today test-fired from the navy's newest stealth destroyer INS Kochi successfully hitting a decommissioned target ship in the Arabian Sea.

The second of Project 15A 'Kolkata-class' guided missile destroyers test-fired the advanced missile system as part of 'Acceptance Test Firing' during a naval drill being conducted along the country's west coast.

The world's fastest cruise missile, after performing high-level and extremely complex manoeuvres, successfully hit decommissioned target ship 'Alleppey' located at a distance covering nearly the full range of the missile with high precision, defence officials said.

"After two successful test trials from INS Kolkata in June 2014 and February 2015, today’s test firing from INS Kochi has validated the newly commissioned ship's systems.

"BrahMos as the prime strike weapon will ensure the warship's invincibility by engaging naval surface targets at long ranges, thus making the destroyer another lethal platform of Indian Navy," Sudhir Mishra, CEO and MD of BrahMos Aerospace said.

The navy commissioned INS Kochi on September 30, this year. The 7,500-ton indigenously developed warship incorporates new design concepts for improved survivability, stealth, sea-keeping and manoeuvrability.

The warship has the advanced capability of carrying a total of 16 BrahMos missiles in two 8-cell vertical launch systems, besides other sophisticated weapons and sensors.

BrahMos missile having supersonic speed of Mach 2.8, a very low-cruising altitude of 10 metres at terminal phase and pin-point accuracy, will make the warship one of the deadliest in the Indian Navy fleet, the officials said.

The two-stage BrahMos missile has been jointly developed by India and Russia. It has been in service with the Indian Navy since 2005. Today's launch was the 49th test-firing of the missile.

Great job.
As we can produce these missiles in 1000s locally and deploy them this is a huge strategic advantage we acquired.
Now a specific target can be showered with Brahmos from all land, air and sea.

Any idea about the flight profile...i mean was it a mix of Hi-Lo path or mostly lo-lo path/sea skimming mode...

For some time from A&N the last few Brahmos has been rumoured to be low profile sea skimming modes and is closer to 220 kms (Car Nicobar to Trak Island with S turn Maneuvers and at times double S turns) in that mode versus initial tests results in lo-lo profile at 90kms in 2009-10 timeline.. Experts have always said lo-lo profile or sea skimming mode to be more like 1/3rd kind of actual range in hi-hi flight path or more around 2.5X if its mix of Hi-Med-lo flightpath.. So its necessary to understand if the actual test of hitting Allepy is from vertical shootdown or horizontal hit to get a hint of at least terminal flightpath and guess about the rest.. Initially it may achieve a height from launching before going for course correction of course.. Would love to see and find out whats the true flight path this time..

Indigenous Paint job tested again on P-800 oniks ..Good job India . ..quite an achievement for you guys..

JF-17,Hatf serie,Gaznavi,Ghauri does all of these ring any bell!!The funniest thing is that the person who is mocking India in this case belongs to a country that has failed to build an indigenous moped engine let along a motorbike on it's own

When will Bhramos shoot a Pakistani "frigate".....

In Kerala,Kochi is right next to Alleppey.

There goes INS Alleppey,the warship named after my home district
