Now you are again mixing us the two concepts .. an aircraft has essentially two kinds of detection techniques..one is the radar(range 300 Km for an AWACS) and second one is IRST(Infra red search and track).
So question is does your AWACS or any other plane carry a IRST?
Second point here being tracking range of an IRST is just 20 Kms..so if you start tracking the missile at just 20 Km from the target ..you are as good as dead.
Fair point. I would say the early detection would have to rely on satellites or whatever mechanism detects BM launches.
I would expect China has full coverage of India in that respect, so Pakistan just needs to tap into that.
Contrary to your belief no missile has a straight line trjectoy ..external forces such as air resistance are constantly throwing it of its planned path..and the missile guidance sys is also constantly trying to bring it back to its planned path hence every missile is in constant state monouver deviating upto hundreds of meters from its planned path and then coming back to it and then deviatingagain..hence it is at best a zig-zag motion.
Second point here being all cruise missile have the ability to change their course at will, infact many just like Bhramos and Tomahawk also follow a terminal 'S' manouvere to fool the interceptors.
So if the interceptor missile is not able to to manouvere at the same speed as the target it will never be able to intercept the missile.
Even if the interceptor misses its target by one meter ..it is still a miss.
As far ability of CIWS to destroy the missile..it theoretically exists, but the missile will have to extremely close to its target as CIWS do not have much range and even if destroyed the oncoming debris(at mach 3.2) has enough kinetic energy to totally decimate the target.
The BrahMos doesn't do sharp 90 degree turns; it does flattened S-curves. It has to; because of its high forward momentum. So the speed that needs to be matched is not its forward speed, but the speed of lateral manoevers. That will be much less than the forward mach 3.
Secondly, whatever manoevers it is doing are preprogrammed. They are not evasive manoeuvers to match any intgerceptor since the heat seeking interceptor is fully passive. The BrahMos isn't even aware of the interceptor.
Are you serious....
Or just blabbermouthing what ever comes there.... like your friend notorious
Here's what your esteemed poster had to say about surface temperature of brahmos....

Think before what you say... and think again when you write that to someone.
You two are just making a laughing stock of yourselves here with No knowledge about the subject at all....
This is sad.

The heat I was referring to was just the skin temperature at Mach 2.8. At sea level the air is denser and will exaggerate the heating effect; temperatures are expected to be approximately 1,000°F or 537.8°C. This is well within the capability of passive IR 'heat seeking' missiles Mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) sensors.
