So basically a smaller scramjet cruise missile, using brahmos as a base.
Good for air launch, ship launched and sub launch.
Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile : News, Updates and Discussions

Good for air launch, ship launched and sub launch.
Brahmos (Ground/Ship) Diameter - 700 mm
Brahmos A (Air) Diameter - 648 mm (~650 mm)
Brahmos NG Diameter - 540 mm
hmmmm, could they dual pack the brahmos NG for short strike missions or would it not be worth the range drop? is it even feasable in the first place?
i meant Dual packing in a VLS cell but tbh i dont think its worth it to put that much money to modify a VLS for it and then only get 290 KM out of the range.
Absurd question. how the hell you dual pack cruise missiles in a cell made for one. Range is just one parameter to judge a missile. You need to improve your questions and understanding.
which is why i asked if the UVLM could be modified to it 2 of these.
Range is indeed only 1 parameter to judge a missile but when you alr have a missile that does 800 km(will probably be improved beyond that) it hardly makes sense to expensively modify anything(if even possible) when you get significantly lesser range out of it.
My question wasnt particularly phrased well but it was a rhetorical question in part because the practical answer was always no.
Not everything is serious lol.
Lmao ok , if you cant interact with someone without being a arsehole then you'd belong in the same category as twitter users. No need to act so high and mighty, nobody's gonna jump on it.
If the next generation of ALCMs do get a ranges the likes of 500kms, strikes like these will pretty much become the norm. It will allow the strike packages to be deep within the AD bubbles.
Note: Ignore the heat map, It had been generated a while ago while looking at opportunities of conducting strikes from multiple areas.
If the LRLACM is taken into consideration, the dynamics would further change. However, I do not know the status of its air launched version.

it says on pg 13 that the range is 300-400 km? i thought the ER version was successfully tested and already in service ?
BrahMos missiles built in Lucknow ready for action; 1st batch to launch Saturday
The first batch of BrahMos missiles produced at Lucknow’s new manufacturing facility will be flagged off on October 18 by the Defence Minister and the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
India is set to witness a major milestone in indigenous defence production on October 18, when the first batch of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles manufactured at the newly inaugurated Lucknow facility will be handed over. The Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath are scheduled to lead the flagoff ceremony.
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: On the flag-off of the first batch of BrahMos missiles, Deputy Chief Engineer, DRDO, SN Singh, says, "This missile is very fast and highly accurate. It travels at more than three times the speed of sound, and its greatest strength is its precision. It hits its target with exceptional accuracy, which is why there is global interest in it. The Defence Minister has called it a great achievement for both the state and the country. It is a moment of pride for all of us. Undoubtedly, the BrahMos missile will pave the way for a self-reliant India."
Is this a new thing?
Wasn't its top speed already mentioned at mach 2.8-3.2 during cruise phase.
cruise speed is usually little less, in the early days i read somewhere it was cruise at 2.5 mach .
