Brahmos at best comes close to sea level on its approach to the target like most other Anti-ship missiles of its class. You need true cruise ability for sustained travel at low altitudes. Its just that an anti-ship missile. Its a javelin with a rocket on it which can do some course correction for which it first ascends and positions itself and comes hurling down. Its fast yes, its not something fancy. A typical Russian weapon.
In its lob like flight path, there is a chance to hit it even at high speeds. You do know people are hitting ballistic missiles too which go much faster.
Of course reaction time is totally something else and depends upon the crew, the radar its equipped with...
The question was asked was that how is it an answer to Brahmos? It says right there that it can be used in an anti-missile capacity as its primary role. It wouldn't matter that Brahmos has more range, if its detected on launch, anti-missile weapons can be launched as a response too.
