Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile : News, Updates and Discussions

They will likely bump the speed a bit more because of less weight, normal one cruise at ~ 2.5mach , Ng they showed a bit more. I think they will use the same warhead config (which our armed forced want to improve on naturally) of 200kg for the export version.

This will be a lethal combination for Tejas. buy the Tejas fighter jet with the BrahMos missiles or purchase a package of at least 50 BrahMos missiles should allow Tejas to be exported for many years.

Combine that with Tejas's small size, small RCS and huge numbers we'll eventually have(MK1/1A/MK2) and we've a kickass light weight strike fighter too.

Talking about export, you're correct, Tejas with BrahMos NG is a mouth-watering proposition for most of our friendly developing countries. Just like Rafale, Tejas is taking time in finding its export success, but it will take off after it finds its initial customer. BrahMos NG could be that impetus that Tejas needs to dominate export market.

Hello, Did Russia transferred its Zircon missile technology to BrahMos Aerospace for BrahMos 2 development?
 
Same company also makes the tactical auto shown in defexpo

Indigenous fuel being tested, hopefully the vajrabega next.


below is the approved list of different fuel stuff that we make & cemilac certified

 
800kms(+) range BrahMos is quite a dangerous proposition to our enemies. Hopefully this new indigenous fuel not ONLY provides more range but also the much fabled "near hyper-velocity", @marich01 ;);)

the fuel is same jp7 or jp10 grade whichever is used, import substitute. i guess they put in more in the tank or increased capacity perhaps. onyx is 800km itself right? Should be no problem.

Are there any updates on wreckage of the Brahmos missile which was misfired towards Pakistan? Is it in the hands of Pakistan are they analyzing it? Is it possible to analyze it?
 
If they say over , they have fudged the numbers well. Given the size, its multi year procurement + resupply work, possibly amc also attached now. Missile checkout system on ship will happen possibly. Now a very much world class all round service.

On BrahMos, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R Hari Kumar says,

"It is a very potent missile, and it has been evolving also, in range capability and so on. So the fact is that it is made in India, so we are not dependent on anybody else. It can be repaired, and spares are available. So it's a great advantage...BrahMos will be our primary weapon now as the surface-to-surface missile weapon. Probably the Air Force and the air fighters also will have that as the primary air-to-surface weapon. This has evolved in range, in capabilities, in its lethality, and so on. So this is going to be the mainstay for some time and that is why we are replacing all old missiles with this... and we are installing the BrahMos. Now, we have the expertise to install it in a very quick time"

 
The contract for procurement of BrahMos missiles has been signed with M/s BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited (BAPL) at a cost of Rs 19,518.65 crore. These missiles would be utilized to meet combat outfit and training requirements of Indian Navy. This project is likely to generate employment of nine lakh man-days in Joint Venture entity and around 135 lakh man-days in ancillary industries (including MSMEs) of the country.

The contract for Procurement of Ship borne BrahMos system has also been signed with M/s BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited (BAPL) at a cost of Rs 988.07 crore. This system is the Indian Navy's primary weapon for maritime strike operations fitted onboard various frontline warships. The system is capable of hitting land or sea targets from extended ranges with pinpoint accuracy at supersonic speeds. The project is likely to generate employment of around 60,000 man-days over a period of 7-8 years.
