And some say Brahmos Range is Upto 500 km
Brahmos ranges:
Lo-Lo profile ~120Km
Hi-Lo profile ~ 300Km
Hi-Hi profile ~ 500km
This is with 300 kg warhead.
There are some murmurs about a precision strike version of 600kms range with 200kg warhead too in various forums but this has never been confirmed although it is speculated that actual range in Hi Hi Hi profile with this 150-180 kg warhead is almost reaching 700 kms (similar to Onyx Yakhont). Also there is a added speculation that India while testing Brahmos had always restricted the overall test timing via means of software to ensure that missile engine turns off after a designated time and thereby the whole flight path is restricted to 290 kms to meet MTCR requirements.
