Defunct Humanity: Brahmos will be installed on Scorpenes

The Indo-Russian 'Brahmos' supersonic missiles will be installed on Indian 'Scorpenes' submarines, the 'BrahMos' JV co-director Alexander Maxichev said recently on EuroNaval show in France. 'The missile is ready for launching from subsurface platforms' - he said. Maxichev explained, that the results of the Indian competition for additional number of submarines will be known soon, and 'we (BrahMos) push for installation on these missiles on them'. Indirectly his message confirms 'Scorpene' is the winner of the tender.

Maxichev also said that the first 'Brahmos' test on new 11356 frigates build for India is planned for early 2011. He pointed out that 'despite some delay in frigates building there is no any delay in Brahmos production'. The propulsion system of this missile is developed and maid in Russia while the guiding system and launcher are developed by Indian side.

thats cool...so the death eater now will come from under sea....nemisis for PN,CN
and the Sub hunter will make sure no sneaky PN or CN comes into india ocean..P8I....Coool...2012 is the best year for india defence..
we'll see...
Nuclear arihant..

P8i
maybe hypersonic brahmos
first batch of MRca winner

I do not understand how much of a difference will a short range non-nuclear capable cruise missile will make on a sub.

subs must be reserved for strategic missiles/weapons and their capability should not be frittered away.

cool combo pack

The Scorpene subs are SSK not SSBN, therefore there is no scope for carrying strategic missiles. The Brahmos is good enough for the purpose.
Is the Brahmos not nuclear capable?

This is significant because it means vertical SILOs are on the way to Scorpenes. Which means other missiles in development except SLBMs will also be delivered by scorpene..

or it could also mean further delay.
i think brahmos will be integrated in later scorpenes.

Yes..very possible..Or, this may be the reason they will give regarding the huge delays we are facing..

How does he know the result of the second sub line winner??. This only says they will puch for Brahmos instalation on second line. We all know that the second line will have land attack capability and Brahmos will be installed there.

By the way adding Brahmos is a killer thing to add in a sub. These missiles can be nuclear tipped and can be daengerous for ships and aircraft carriers.

dude,brahmos can carry nuke warhead..who says it cant

First of all Brahmos is nuclear

Another thing,all of our future Subs will b compatible with most of the Indian missiles

SSK and SSN r intended to fire cruise missiles along side torpedoes
