India’s Air Force to get 40 strike fighters with BrahMos missiles

[HariPrasad]

KUALA LUMPUR, April 16, /ITAR-TASS/. India’s Air Force will get 40 SU-30MKI strike fighters armed with a smaller version of BrahMos missiles, Russian-Indian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace President Sivathanu Pillai told ARMS-TASS at the international arms exhibition DSA-2014 in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, April 16.

The company is working to reduce the weight of the missile so that it could be integrated with different platforms, including the fifth-generation fighter India is creating together with Russia, he said.

Pillai noted that the commissioning of the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier complete with deck-based MiG-29K/KUB jet fighters required accelerated work to arm them with a smaller version of the BrahMos missile so that the aircraft could take off from the carrier with two missiles under their wings.

While the fifth-generation jet fighter and MiG-29K/KUB aircraft can be armed with two BrahMos-M missiles, the Su-30MKI strike fighters can carry three such missiles. The latter aircraft will be modernised to take and fire the missiles. The Indian Air Force has already made the relevant decision.

Pillai hopes that the first ship-based version of the BrahMos missile will be fired in the fourth quarter of this year from a SU-30MKI jet fighter.

The missile will be 6 metres long and have a diameter of 0.5 metres. It will be able to travel at a speed 3.5 times the sound velocity and carry a charge of 200 to 300 kg over a maximum distance of up to 290 km. The BrahMos missiles that have been tested up to date are two-stage cruise missiles 10 meters long and 0.7 metres in diameter.

The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test fired from the Indian Navy's newest guided missile frigate INS Tarkash off the coast of Goa in late May 2013.

The missile performed high-level “C” manoeuvre at pre-determined flight path and successfully hit the target. The surface-to-surface missile, having a range of 290-km, was test launched from the Russian-built Project 1135.6 class warship.

BrahMos cruise missiles have been adopted by India’s Army and the Navy's surface ships. The Indian Air Force has also ordered a batch of land-based missiles. Work is also underway to adapt the missile to Su-30MKI planes used by the Indian Air Force.

BrahMos is an acronym of the two rivers: Brahmaputra in India and Moskva in Russia.

When visiting the headquarters of the Russian-Indian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace Limited that makes supersonic cruise missiles, the chief of the Russian Army General Staff said that the joint venture made reliable missiles that have few matches in the world.

The joint venture has designed a new version of the supersonic cruise missile of the same name that can be launched from submarines.

The missiles are intended for use aboard the Scorpion-type submarine, for which the Indian Navy has placed orders in France.

The Russian-Indian joint venture BrahMos has designed a new version of the supersonic cruise missile of the same name that can be launched from submarines.

The BrahMos missile has a flight range of up to 290 kilometres and is capable of carrying a conventional warhead of 300 kilograms. The missile can cruise at a maximum speed of 2.8 Mach.

Light in weight. Small in dimension. High in speed. Same in range. Great!!!!!!!!

Do it fast. This missile mounted on super sukhoi will be a serious *** kicker.

The most deadly combo of Sand off missile mounted on Aircraft.

 

[HariPrasad]

This missile called Brahms has increased India's defense preparedness to a large extent. It is an omni potent Omni role missile fit in each and every role you can think of.

1) Anti ship.
2) Surface to Surface.
3) Precision strike.
4) Air launch.
5) Submarine launch.


Really India's enemy are going to cry. If war take place, this missile may proved to be a game changer.

lol...

Pakistan's JF-17 Thunder loaded with CM-400AKG is "the most deadly stand-off missile combo mounted on Aircraft" in subcontinent.

CM-400AKG is way, way faster than Brahmos....

Moreover, Pakistan is geared to field hundreds of such strike fighters armed with hypersonic missiles, long-range anti-ship cruise missiles, and even nuclear-armed stand-off weapons.

Pakistan Air Force enjoys a clear edge in this type of strike-element.

Your Post is a BS. You lacks the basic knowledge of Missile technology. This is a long discussion and may take a lots of posting to prove. I do not want to enter into an argument.

Set your country flag right.

Don't bullshit yourself.

Unless you are a defense-minister with inside information about Brahmos, "nobody" knows the actual "technology" used in the operations of missiles. All we have is basic know-how and specifications received after testing.

Going by that, CM-400AKG is much, much faster than Brahmos. That is a simple fact.

Moreover, Pakistan Air Force's stand-off strike capability is far superior to that of India's.

PAF already *has* hypersonic missiles deployed on its fighters. You are still 'trying'...

PAF already *has* the capacity to launch a nuclear-capable stand-off missile from its fighter jets. IAF doesn't even come close.

Pakistan already has hypersonic missiles deployed on its fighters?? .You still have to buy that missile from China which you will mount on JF17/

 

[GR!FF!N]

@The Sultan Erdogan

posting off topic BS generally earns you an infraction.do you even know that??because,its a thread on Brahmos missile and its integration with Su-30 MKI and you're posting on JF-17??it is as much alien as it could be like integrating your bra!n into your skull.you should know what to post than just spamming into Indian defence section with off topics.

So any chances of buying the ONLY 2nd Russian carrier when upgrades complete...

Yes but you only have to paint those russian made missiles so later you can say they are indigenously developed in india.
Looks like the indian paint making industry is indigenous .

One of your elite members was spanked very badly for claiming the same thing you are just saying now Can you show me the proof that India had no contribution in Brahmos missile??

Has it even been tested?

Pakistan has CM-400AKG *deployed* on JF-17. Confirmed by vice-director of JF-17 project in an interview. Remain 'updated'

It also makes sense..JF-17 is developed by Pakistan and China, and both countries have its source-codes etc...integrating a chinese-weapon on JF-17 would not be that hard..and keeping in mind CM-400AKG was first revealed with JF-17 well-over a year ago..It is nothing but logical to understand that JF-17s now have working CM-400AKG hypersonic ground-attack missiles on board.

Making them lethal strike fighters...

Has it even been tested?

Yes. In China.

PAF already has this weapon on board.

Vice-director of JF-17 already confirmed it. Read my reply to Jarves

its just common missile Anti-ship missile a cruise Missile not like Brahmos Stop fooling people around just reduced range of 250 km and its super sonic

Are you stupid or what?

CM-400AKG is a hypersonic land-attack missile...whats the fulling here?
