India Successfully Test Fires Supersonic Cruise Missile

Bhubaneswar: India on Wednesday successfully test-fired an army version of its supersonic BrahMos cruise missile that was jointly developed with Russia, a defence officer said.

The missile was tested from Indias Chandipur-on-sea site, 200 kilometres (125 miles) northeast of Bhubaneswar, the capital of the southeastern state of Orissa, the officer, who declined to be named, said.

"The flight trial met all the mission objectives, officer said. The missile has a range of 290 kilometers (181 miles) and can carry a 300-kilogram (660 pounds) conventional warhead and can be launched from land, ships, submarines and aircraft, the officer said.

The eight-metre (26-foot) missile weighs about three metric tonnes.

The missile, first tested in June 2001, is named after India's Brahmaputra River and Russia's Moskva River

This is not a short range missile you can call it battlefield range missile it can only hit in the area where battle is taking place so this missile should be placed in the area where there are chances for battle to take place and if not then you will surely have to displace this missile to the loaction from where you want to shoot.But the A2G version which would be fired from an AC could be deadly there is no other A2G missile which can hit a target at that much distance,this cruise missile can do the Job.
The main difference between the Pakistani and Indian cruise missile is the range and the speed.Indian cruise missile has lesser range and can hit the target in shorter time because it is supersonic and on the other hand the Pakistani missile has greater range but has lesser speed but one thing is sure that both of the missiles would hit the targets because both of them cant be deceted by the radar.But i am optimistic about the deployment of Pakistani cruise missile on an AC but it can well do its job on the ground.

although babur is smaller than Indian Brahmos(8 meters).length of babur cruise missile is about 7 meters(aprox), that missile is too big to be fitted in aircraft like F16s or JF17s!

I didnt know that the Babur was smaller then the Brahmos but the Indians really want to mount their Brahmos on the Flanker Su30s :glare:

Su-30 should be able to carry brahmose, in the above article it already mentions that, that brahmose now can be fired from the aircrafts, subs, frigates, and land. Su-30 has a payload of 8000 kg; 17600 lbs while F-16 has a payload of 12000 lbs. I dont see any problem with F-16 no be able to carrying babur.

However, i think the reason of Pakistan not to be able to fire the cruise missile via aircraft is that the platform of the aircraft hasn't yet been developed. If that happens it would give Pakistan a pretty good advantage in the battlefield.

As for the size, i dont know, but they say that F-16 is a nuclear capable aircraft so i dont see why it can't carry the nuclear capable cruise missile.

Trust me we have already mounted it.

Apart from Su-30; Tu-142 of Indian Navy also carries BrahMos.

Regarding F-16 carrying Babur.

Don't forget that carrying a cruise missile and a Nuclear device (bomb) is a whole different game. Payload make a lot of difference.

I am yet to hear from any Pakistani source yet that F-16 and/or Mirage-III/V can carry Babur.

Thanks,

You don't have to trut me.

Afterall why to trust an Indian????

I can straight away show you the pictures of the above said planes carrying the BrahMos.

Also are you aware of the Payload of Tu-142?

P3C is an ant comparing to size in front of the giant Tu-142.

Thanks,

Miro

But P-3C is enough big to carry it doesn't it? :eyebrow: Comparing P-3C with Tu-142 in size for carrying a cruise missile is a pretty stupid idea.

True, I would not discard the possibility of P-3c carrying barbur, though I am bit vary of JF-17 maily due to its size and F-16 could be developed a one of the platform but again it has a small payload, missile could be in limited number, maybe one under fuselarge.
That will also probably shorten the range as it will not carry any drop tanks. I am only gussing.

Highlight me on this Miro, you would know better.

Yeah its silly that you are comparing Tu-142 with the P-3C orion i just wanted that it has enough payload to carry the Babur.
