1.Partially successful.More succesful than babur's first test,where it flew for 17 km.Even in second flight babur flew 22km.
Yes more successful in going offcourse and crashing.. while Babur CM is in service... while its naval version is under development with more range...
2.What developing?Brahmos is already operational.Its seeker is much more advanced.
Im talking abt air launched version with shorter range etc..
3.Never said that...sure ull get air defenses too.But we will use both supersonic and subsonic missiles for LACM duty.U only subsonic.
Sir except yakhont or brahmos.. none other are in service and under development..
4.CM-400AKG is not land attack missile as such its small range 180km -240 km is insufficient for such mission.
Brahmos itself has a range of 280-290 kms... whereas CM-400AKG has a range of 250km.
In anti shipping role its no match for brahmos,smaller range,no manuevering ability,can;t hit fast targets and only achieves its great speed at terminal stage rather than sustained supersonic cruise.
Here is what Air Commodore Mahmood Khalid, PAF JF-17 Deputy Project Director stated:
"The CM-400AKG is a very high-speed missile that is very tough to intercept. It hits the target at Mach 4 or above and its kinetic impact alone is enough to destroy any high-value target, like an aircraft carrier."
More info:
The CM-400AKG is a 400 kg solid-rocket-powered weapon that can be fitted with either a penetrator or blast/fragmentation warhead. It is a fire-and-forget precision-guided weapon that can be fitted with several seeker options, which are understood to include an active radar seeker and an imaging infrared seeker with target-recognition (TR) capabilities. PAF sources say the missile can be pre-programmed with digital imagery for highly precise attacks against fixed sites in TR mode, but it can also be retargeted in flight by using the radar seeker option.
Again .. im not much familar with the missile...also most of the specs of CM-400 are not known anyways...
Also this thread might interest you... as youve already post a few comments in it... :

Only initial testing versions around 750.Operational version as stated by armed forces requirements will be 1000 km.
Sir it was supposed to be a 1000km LRCM... but now 700km is the range being worked upon...
S-300 based naval sams have one bad weakness,have problem dealing with sea skimmers due to engagement angle.
Though i doubt any navy can deal with salvo mach6-7 ascms.But brahmos 2 is years away ur right.
Right now klub is enough to cause headache,let alone brahmos.Even for AEGIS.

Its not just S-300 or HQ-16 (improved n long ranged HQ variant) even barak-8 will have a hard time dealing with missiles like cm-400akg...as the thread i posted mentions the issues..
