India test fires first underwater Brahmos cruise missile

[Vasily Zaytsev]

JOKE of the Century.............

First Country to test fire this type of Missile ............Rent-A Submarine(From Russia) trying to impress.......others.

Donated Missile test,from Rent-A Submarine.

Yes it is the JOKE of the Century.......see for yourself......

Maiden submarine trial of BrahMos cruise missile successful

India achieved another milestone in its defence programme by successfully test firing the submarine-launched version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile for the first time from a submerged platform off the Visakhapatnam coast on Wednesday.

Defence sources said the missile in its full operational configuration was launched from a pontoon (replica of a submarine) positioned nearly 30 feet deep in Bay of Bengal at about 2.10 pm.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director of BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited A Sivathanu Pillai said the missile took off vertically from the submerged platform for its full range of 290 kms and hit the target with high accuracy.

“It was a history for us as the mission achieved 100 percent success. All mission parameters have been successfully met and it was a copy book lunch,” Pillai told ‘The New Indian Express’ over phone.

This is the first time that a supersonic cruise missile is launched vertically from a submerged platform in the world. The success however came a week after the unsuccessful trial of India’s first sub-sonic cruise missile Nirbhay, which had veered from its path and was destroyed mid-way.

A release from the BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited stated that the missile emerged from underwater, took a turn towards the designated target and followed a pre-defined trajectory meeting all mission objectives. All the telemetry and tracking stations, including Indian naval ships positioned throughout the flight path, confirmed the pin-point accuracy of the mission.

“The missile is fully ready for fitment in P75 (I) of Indian Navy in vertical launch configuration which will make the platform one of the most powerful weapon platform in the world,” claimed Pillai.

Jointly developed by India and Russia, the nine-meter long missile can travel at thrice the speed of sound and carry a conventional warhead weighing upto 300 kg. The land and naval variants of BrahMos missile have already proved their mettle in both vertical and inclined launch configurations. The missile has been successfully inducted in a number of front-line Indian Navy warships and will be deployed in other future surface ships.

Defence scientists said the missile was capable of being launched from submarine from a depth of 40-50 meters. Integrated vertically with a modular launcher in the pressure hull of the submarine, the missile has identical configuration similar to its ship based system.

The submarines equipped with BrahMos missiles would increase the offensive power of the vessel without compromising on its defensive power as the torpedo tubes in it can be utilized for defence, the scientists added.

Defence Minister A K Antony has congratulated Indian scientists, Russian specialists and members from Indian Navy associated with the project for the successful mission.

Impress others??????

yawwn

Oh sure............we are DEFINITELY trying to impress you.
And you look pretty impressed coz u r going off the hook trying to troll uselessly when the most experienced trolls are not even here.

And I won't even bother explaining about P75-I and BrahMos, you are too dimwitted and biased to get it thru.

indeed all chinese should congrats Russia,russians are doing good progress in making j20(chinese joke20) into some flying tin box so CCP can save it's face.::

Did you know that the number after each Chinese fighter plane is an indication of how many years ago the Russians made them?

J-20 20 years ago.

JF-17 17 years ago.

Congratulations!
How many VLS tubes are being planned in the P75(I) submarines?

Both K-15 and Submarine-launched BrahMos have powered underwater phases, correct?

Not sure of VLS tubes in P-75I.

Since IN wants AIP also, so this will demand two sections for AIP as well as VLS.

I think IN will only go for AIP section & Brahmos will be launched from Torpedo tubes.

But how could it be the torpedo tubes, wasn't the test done through a vertical pontoon?

You are working on the basis of some wrong premises!

Sorry my Bad.

There were reports that smaller version of Brahmos called Brahmos 3 will be made, possibly launched by the torpedo tubes.

Current Brahmos diameter doesn't support launching from torpedo tubes.

Brahmos: The Irony about the Smaller Lighter Variant

smaller and lighter variant of Brahmos would allow the missile to be carried by MMRCA class aircraft like the Mirage 2000, MiG-29UPG/K and Rafale. More importantly, the missile could then be adapted for launch from standard sized submarine torpedo tubes, making it compatible with all Indian Navy submarines.

Though i have still doubts for a separate VLS section in P-75I.

These Brahmos missile can be fitted with Arihant class subs as well (if i am not wrong).

Its not about 1 or 2 persons,Not Interested in Fake things........reality is opposite,what you explain,Experienced trolls.....Lol

Yes it is the JOKE of the Century.......see for yourself......

Another troll......

Great Points!
@ganimi kawa and @peep; We've pretty much the answer that we were seeking in the post above. In case of a ship-board launcher the VLS module will need to be weather-tight in a Marine environment. The VLS module in a sub will have to function under the surface in a pressure that will be maybe 6-10 times atmos pres or more. So it will be water-tight to higher pressures to start with. Then ejection gases required (cold launch) will have to factor in that difference in pressure also. Plus the launch tube when opened below the surface; and after ejection of the missile will experience flooding. That has to be handled since that will affect both the buoyancy and the trim of the dived sub. That will be substantially different from the VLS module of a surface combattant. Similarly, that VLS will be different from the Launcher tubes of the Ground Launched Brahmos on the Tatra Trucks.

Another Poor Joke from Rent-a-Fool of PDF??

Concentrate on your Russian missile...........not on my joke......
