India test fires first underwater Brahmos cruise missile

VA-111 Shkval - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a "supercavitating" torpedo.

Whatever the hell that means.

The speed of the VA-111 far exceeds that of any standard torpedo currently fielded by NATO. This speed is a result of supercavitation: the torpedo is, in effect, flying in a gas bubble created by outward deflection of water by its specially shaped nose cone and the expansion of gases from its engine. By keeping water from coming into contact with the surface of the body of the torpedo, drag is significantly reduced, allowing extremely high speeds.

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

Not counting the the delhi Meerut highway which was build by these 93000 PoWs

If India wants a successful weapon system, work with another country.

Awsome . Its surprise launch.. congrats DRDO.

It wasn't a surprise one . The news was in the media fro a month or two.

 

[veekysingh]

Congrads Ruskies!

Mr .@ss burned chinese , the test was done in India not Russia.

For video of the shot, pls youtube Russian 20 years ago.

This is the first test-firing of an underwater supersonic cruise missile anywhere in the world and the missile travelled its complete range of over 290km, he said.

How can one have the video of this 20 years ago when this is the first test of an underwater supersonic cruise missile anywhere in the world .........

If India wants a successful weapon system, work with another country.

You mean just like what China is doing.

 

[tvsram1992]

Russian scientists knows that how to make and test cruise technology..........Except(DRDO)

Whatever . Doesnt matter Russian or Indian . When it targets you , you are dead .

SCARE TACTICS...........LOL

What part of reality is opposite for you??
The fact that we have a universal supersonic cruise missile and you don't?

First tell me,which Indian submarine has got that capability of firing underwater (brahmos),if not,So how did you test that missile,where is the appreciation for Russian scientists who have worked the most in this test,already seen the result of (Nirbhay) a subsonic Missile,You claim that you are world No.1 in testing the Supersonic SLCM,that's not the reality your are claiming for.......no.1 doesn't depend on any country,means that Russia is on Second position According to Indians..............What is this?

Beta, test karr hee na layn. Poora mulk lutnay luttanay mein mashgool hai. Underwater launch is a specialist science, will probably take decades. No. China won't be giving it. It's a no go area of weapon development.

meri toh babur slcm k test ka intizaar krte krte ankhon ki nazar chali gye

anway congrats for the test
