How can Pakistan Navy defend itself from Brahmos cruse missile ?

Hey we know the US is big daddy, and likely to remain so for the forseaable future....therefore it is to our great comfort that they see us as an ally and are willing to let us use their bases for refuel and intelligence gathering as well as share next gen tech such as EMALS. :cheers:
 
PN what is that...half rusted ships and a few decent subs :woot:.
You guys should just scrap the PN and just have a coast guard..for all the good the PN is going to do you in a conflict. At least you would save a few dollars to plough back into your moribund economy.

Who are you Imposter?
 
Comparison is between IN and PN. And IN does not need Brahmos to sink PN.

It will be not easy for IN to come close enough to PN ships to launch Brahmos, MKIs will have more chance of firing them then your IN ships.
 
There will be never be a full fledged war between India and Pak again so chill. Only border skirmish will happen. Only learning how to dodge bullets will do wonder.

Brahmos has a range of 300 km. And what exactly does PN have in its inventory?
 
Short range defense against supersonic missile?:hitwall:
It is not going to help sir, No way.
Highly impossible, but even if the gun is able to shoot the missile, the momentum of missile alone will destroy the vessel.:sniper:

Short range-defense works - like Goalkeeper, so too do medium-range defenses like ESSM, the best are still long-ranged defenses like SM-6. Close-in Weapon Systems were designed to react fast to fast moving, maneuverable targets and have been proven able to down supersonic missiles.

We (the US) are transitioning to laser CIWS:

The US has experience and regularly downs supersonic missiles.

I think we'll do just fine against Brahmos too:usflag:.

ALSO!!! For those wondering why the US would need to defend against Brahmos!

Brahmos is a joint Indo-Russian project. Just because India wont use it against the US doesn't mean the Russians wont! Also, China has comparable systems - like the CX-1, so being able to defeat a Brahmos-type threat is important!

As for Pakistan, peace is still the best defense, but if that's not an option... well, they have options too:pakistan:.

PN ships will not go in areas where PAF can't provide proper air cover and PN P-3s, subs and PAF maritime strike package is responsible for making sure that IN dose not got into position from where they can launch brahmos.

PN is also considering to install C-602s (400+ km range, PN already have coastal batteries) or similar system on its upcoming ships which will allow them to go after IN ships as they will be able to launch them without coming in range of IN's anti ship missiles.

What about P-17A and P-15B?
