Its not a "cruise" missile.
so is it normal Air launched "sea skimmer" Anti ship missile, like Kh 31?

So basically the only advantage of such cruise missiles over Babar and Ra'ad is speed?
Hi,
Like the Thors hammer---a kinetic energy based weapons system---.

no,wrong..
brahmos can never reach 2.8 mach at LOW ALTITUDES due to dense air or whatever may the reason be...

SS-N-26 Yakhont/Oniks P-800 is same one which the brahmos is based on...
We should note the fact that BrahMos employs a ramjet engine and not a turbofan or a turbojet.
Untrue actually.
BrahMos is supersonic all through out the flight, including low altitudes.
BRAHMOS Supersonic Cruise Missile - BrahMos.com
Even your link states

Besides it is well documented that BrahMos can reach its target in less than 5 minutes, which must mean that it remains supersonic for the entirety of it flight, lest it wouldn't be possible if BrahMos had slowed down.
Typically, it flies at 14,000 m at the high point of a high-low trajectory and at about 10-15 m at the low point of a low-low trajectory. Just before terminal engagement, the missile usually descends to 5-10 m. The maximum range is 300 km (high-low) or 120 km (low-low). At a distance of 60-80 km to the target the missile's radar switches on and searches for the target. As soon as the target is located, at a distance of about 25-30 km, the radar stops transmitting and works in passive mode only while the missile is directed into a computed point of intercept. Usually one out of every three missiles turns on its radar with the others being directed by the "leading" missile. There are also some other features that enhance the missile's air-defense-penetration capabilities. First of all, the missile is coated with radar-absorbent materials (RAM). The missile also has an onboard radar-warning receiver and analyzer, enabling it to initiate sharp maneuvers when necessary. The high speed of the missile - Mach 2.6 at high altitude and Mach 1.5-1.7 at low altitude
oh my boy...read again...super sonic does not mean 2.8 mach...super sonic means 1+ mach..
now let me make it clear...from my link...
Do keep your condescension to yourself, I know what it means.
Surely on water the BrahMos cannot do Mach 2.8 continuously but yes it can still do Mach 2.0 which is why it can reach its target in less than 5 minutes, there seems to be no other explanation for this time frame.
FYI your link is about Oniks not Brahmos.
P-800 is again DIFFERENT from BrahMos.
Measuring BrahMos in the same context is just wrong.
BTW
p-800 is not much different.brahmos is actually based on this very same missile...no,wrong..
brahmos can never reach 2.8 mach at LOW ALTITUDES
Sorry my british pakistani friend..It says brahmos can reach mach 2.8 at levels as low as 10m..Not that its sea skimming level is set to 10m..
Its officially stated sea skimming height is 3-4 meters,making it ideal for stealth attacks..
Ship-launched BRAHMOS can fly in sea-skimming mode, completely destroy target :: BrahMos.com
then why did you even respond to my post saying 'untrue'? when i said nothing wrong...
p-800 is not much different.brahmos is actually based on this very same missile...
British pakistani ?
In both link you provided this one is latest 2012 and its says as low as 10m
Other link is from 2010
coz I did know what you intended to mean, which unfortunately for you is not true.....
no,wrong..

Yes,37 year old unmarried bitish pakistani from kensington..
And WTH...The one you posted,from RIA novosti says brahmos can reaach mach 2.8 at an altitude as low as 10m..Not Its sea skimming level..
The one I posted was from official brahmos website,which clearly mentions its sea skimming level as 3-4 m,which is a great advantage to a super sonic missile..And your pathetic aguement is that it is frum 2010...!!!!
