Air launched Brahmos is 2.5 tons and can carry 300kg warhead @ mach 3? on impact say 1 ton of fuel has been conumed,and the remaining total mass is 1.5
tons,then the kinetic energy will be equal to 1500kg X 1020.9 m/s = 780300000 joules ? this equals 186 kilos of TNT. add that with 300kg warhead,then total explosive power becomes 486 kg TNT on
impact... but an MKI can carry one Brahmos? A JF-17 can carry 2 CM-400 AKG
Warhead size same as many other specs is unknown,but probably 100-150 KG Starting Mass 900 KG...
Say fuel on board is 400KG,then at maximum range mass on impact will be 500KG?
500KG X 1872m/s (MACH 5.5) = 875716961 Joules The total kinetic energy on Impact converted into equivalent energy Released by TNT
explosion come as 200 KG of Equivalent explosive energy on Impact without
Warhead.. Now add Warhead to equation.. Total Explosive power 200KG + 150KG = 350KG For two missiles its 700KG TNT compared to 486 KG TNT for one air launched Brahmos
