India Modifies Brahmos Missile With New Nav System​

India has uprated its BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles by installing the advanced satellite navigation systems from Russia's Kh-555 and Kh-101 strategic long-range cruise missiles, adding GPS-GLONASS technology to the existing doppler-inertial platform, Izvestia reported on Tuesday quoting sources in the military-industrial complex.



The integration of the navigation systems from Kh-555 will turn BrahMos, a supersonic cruise missile, into a "super-rocket" with almost a sub-strategic capability above its normal tactical range, capable of hitting targets over 180-300 miles (300-500 km), from sea, land and air launchers, and capable of being armed with a nuclear warhead, the source said.

The installation of the advanced navigation system is optimised for the new air-launched version of BrahMos, which will be carried by India's Russian-built Sukhoi Su-30MKI strike fighters. India plans to deploy over 200 of the advanced aircraft by 2020.



The combination of air-launched BrahMos with the Su-30 will give India a long-range strike capability similar to Russia's Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers, said aviation analyst and editor of Vzlet magazine Vladimir Sherbakov.

"This missile is an important element in the military power of the Indian armed forces and our Indian partners have placed a lot of faith in it," he said.


The Indian Navy carried out a successful test-firing of the sea-launched variant of the weapon on October 7 from the frigate INS Teg off the coast of Goa, the New Indian Express reported.
BrahMos can reach a speed of Mach 2.8 at levels as low as 30 feet (10 m) or fly high-profile diving attacks. The missile was jointly developed by Russia and India, based on the NPO Mashinostroyenie 3M55 Onyx (NATO SS-N-26).

capable of hitting targets over 180-300 miles (300-500 km),

This piece of information elicits a big WOW from me. Hope it is true. What about MTCR?

Yup our boy has grown to a Macho Man.

 

[shahadat hussain]

if some one still has doubts over its range to be 300 KM then it's advantage for us..

Clearly, this missile has advanced from a tactical strike one to a strategic one.. Also, coupled with it's vertical steep dive at supersonic speeds, it is slowly moving towards an anti-ACC missile as well..

Kudos to the developing team !!

But the background I think is not India..

 

[Gessler]

Just as Prasun Sengupta said.

IN had to limit BrahMos range to 290km not due to MTCR but because the needed OTHT was
not available...but now these technologies are all falling into place. Members be prepared for
a 500/600-km anti-ship PJ-10s soon.

If I am not wrong, KH-55 series of missiles are supposed to have a range of over 2500 Kms. If people still want to believe that Brahmos has a range of 290 Kms, Its good for India.

Beware! The great Khali is coming..........There will be nowhere to run, nowhere to hide......

Dangerous combination Great Khali who has speed of Usain Bolt....


Btw the most important part of these article is that this information has been released by Russian Company....

 

[SpArK]

But the background I think is not India..

On what backgrounds do you think its not India.

What backdrop has on the back of the thought is the background for the backing of this backtracked backdoor backdropping?

Do you backstage any backstabbing by backdropped backroom backslide by Russia any further?

 

[KRAIT]

WTF...Spark....It backfired for him....

WTF...Spark....It backfired for him....

Provision for backspaced backspins in the backwardly backyards needs to be backup by backstrokes to avoid backstiches of backbenchers . Or else backlash.

No its not India its China now happy!
