PJ-10 BrahMos Cruise missiles represent one of the finest joint ventures in Indo-Russian defence cooperations . DRDO and NPO over last 15 years have fully exploited growth potential of BrahMos Cruise missiles by developing new and improved blocks and are now working on the development of ASCM ( Air launched Supersonic Cruise Missile ) BrahMos-A which will make it deadlier than ever before .
India recently carried out maiden flight of Su-30MKI with an inert BrahMos missile and IAF plans to have around 40 Su-30MKI aircraft which will be modified to be BrahMos missile and first live firing might take place from the aircraft by end of this year .
India’s recent successful cross-border strikes in Azad Kashmir has rattled Pakistani Military establishments but this will not deter them and they will continue to support terrorist to carry on their low-cost proxy war with India and with additional Pakistani military reinforcements now guarding this terror launch pads and camps , it will only make it very difficult for India to carry out such cross-border raids without causalities or with risk of counter ambush .
BrahMos-A which will 500kgs lighter but will carry 300kg warhead will allow India to decimate any enemy or terror infrastructure with impunity , while Su-30MKI the launch platform continues to stay outside the reach of Pakistan’s longest range Surface-to-Air missiles range and also well with Indian Airspace.
BrahMos-A will be formidable than present Russian-supplied KH-31A/ supersonic ASCM due to its advertised range of 290 km which is quite an improvement over 70-110 km provided by this missile systems. While KH-59ME is main Air-to-Surface ASCM of Indian Air Force with a reported range of 280kms but the missile is subsonic and remains firmly at subsonic speeds of Mach 0.72 to 0.88 over its whole mission profile which could allow enemy’s Air defence Systems much-needed reaction time to Intercept.BrahMos-A will provide India capability to fully exploit its range when the launch platform does not need to be positioned deeper inside .
BrahMos-A will also allow India to carry out surgical strikes at mountain areas and high value Pakistani military establishments and latest blocks employ enhanced manoeuvrability and ability to fly through multiple waypoints prior to striking the target with pin-point accuracy .
