New Recruit
This is a nice development but for Brahmos to be more effective the range has to be extended beyond 290km.
New Recruit
Since BrahMos is a joint Indo-Russina venture, due to MTCR restrictions, theres a limit on its range. Hence 290Km. Funny how in every test they stick to this hallowed number!
But do you really believe that 290Km would be its final configuration? DRDO has developed missiles with ranges in excess of 3000km (2500 miles), atleast, so extending the range of BrahMos when need arises would be a little more than a mechanic's job!
There was talk by Dr. Pillai that Brahmos 2 maybe made completely indigenously by India dropping the Russians, if this happens the range can be extended since there will be no MCTR violation.
that Apart from the seeker and the liquid fueled air breathing ramjet which are supplied by Russia, all other parts in BrahMos (Naval/Air/Land) are designed, developed, manufactured and assembled by India.
Technically yes, Russians can stop us if they "think" that we are copying their technology. But if India ends up buying the propulsion technology for BrahMos - which we very easily can - then its further development to enhance range is not a big engineering hurdle considering the fact that Indian missiles have ranges in excess of 3500Kms.Wow..i would love to see this happening. However i am a little sceptical and please help me here...Brahmos is a JV which obviously means we are parterning with them. Isnt there any thing binding that we cannot just dump them and go ahead with our own missile using the same technology?? will russia or let me put it this way..can Russia stop us??? Also i read it in some other forum a very valuable post by "Screamin Scull"
Seriously? "Capacity" to build spare parts? Are you mental? Where have you been living all these years? In a cave?Here's the link...

Do we have the capacity to build the spare parts that is described above?? Also is increasing the limit of a missile just a little more than a mechanical job???
