Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile : News, Updates and Discussions

Since Op Sindoor, the Pakees have been trying to build a narrative that Brahmos is dual capable and could lead to miscalculations in a future conflict. That's the whole crux of this article.
Phattustanis have pitiful depth and whatever shit they get from China won't be enough to defend against Brahmos. India has thousands of Brahmos and it produces hundreds per year, launching even 15-20 like in Sindoor is enough to make them get on their knees.

Some of them are so delusional on the ch*nk dominated reddit defence forums they were claiming they "diverted" or "intercepted " 90% of the Brahmos India launched and India only achieved some hits because apparently we launched 100s 🤣. It will take another 1971 style humiliation to show them what their level is.

How will they miscalculate when they can't detect? Pakistan's radar installations to detect anything were neutralized without Brahmos on the night of 9th May. They were fighting blind and didn't know what was thrown at them, Brahmos came later. This is why Pakistani DGMO requested Indian side for the cease fire.

These propaganda pieces can be useful in Pak lobbying efforts in the US for the resumption of weapons sales to maintain the 'strategic balance'.

The US could be willing to oblige (just pick up any DSCA notification related to an India/Pak arms deal. This is spelled out in everyone of them).

PAF is anyways looking for replacements for AN/TPS-77 and older model radars it lost in Sindoor. The US could route them via Turkey (like it did last time) to avoid raising Indian criticism.
 


Evidently a Russian hypersonic antiship missile was used in a ground attack role, Ukraine shot it down and its seeker antenna was found in the debris.

U.S. and Philippine Marines are training how to defend Manila’s coastal waters through maritime strike rehearsals that simulate the use of recently acquired BrahMos anti-ship missiles, USNI News has learned.

According to images recently released by the Pentagon, the drills practiced the process of forming a kill chain using notional Armed Forces of the Philippines drones and ground-based anti-ship missiles against simulated maritime targets.

At Manila’s northernmost Marine base in Luzon on Aug. 25, American and Filipino planners plotted Air Force Hermes drones to track a surface action group in support of a BrahMos anti-ship missile strike. The simulated maritime targets were represented by two Type 052D-class guided-missile destroyers, a Type 054A-class frigate and a Type 901 fast combat support ship – vessels currently in service with China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy.

“Training alongside the Coastal Defense Regiment gives Marine Rotational Force – Southeast Asia Marines and Sailors valuable insight into how our Philippine counterparts approach maritime defense within the unique geography and operating environment of the Philippines,” Capt. MacKenzie Margroum, a spokesperson for the Marine Rotational Force – Southeast Asia, told USNI News.

The training occurred during Archipelagic Coastal Defense Continuum 26.4 and allowed forces from both nations to practice target identification and fire planning on maritime targets, Margroum said.

The Coastal Defense Regiment’s first BrahMos facility was built at a base in Western Luzon facing Scarborough Shoal, a contested maritime feature between Manila and Beijing. Chinese warships, such as the Type 052D destroyers and Type 054A frigate represented in the maritime strike drill, have been involved in incidents at Scarborough. Last summer, a Chinese guided-missile destroyer collided with a China Coast Guard cutter in a fatal incident that killed two people.

Additional detachments and facilities are planned for Northern Luzon and Palawan. From these planned deployments, the Philippine Marine Corps can hold transiting warships and artificial island bases under threat.​

With a minimum 68% indigenous content, the project encourages active participation of various Indian industries including MSMEs. The project will generate employment over a period of three years. It also bolsters India’s maritime security architecture and defence capabilities and marks a critical milestone in the ongoing efforts to indigenise advanced military technology.

The BrahMos System fitted onboard various frontline warships is the Indian Navy’s primary Surface to Surface Missile (SSM) system for maritime strike operations. The weapon system is capable of targeting land and sea targets from extended ranges with pinpoint accuracy at supersonic speed.

India and Indonesia are likely to discuss sale of additional BrahMos supersonic missile systems during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three-day visit to Indonesia starting July 6.

Sources told the Tribune that Indonesia has expressed its keenness on going beyond the lone BrahMos missile battery it had sought under a preliminary procurement framework finalised in March this year.

A BrahMos battery includes launchers, radars and missiles.

India and Indonesia had first discussed the sale during the Defence Cooperation Dialogue in New Delhi in November last year, when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hosted his Indonesian counterpart, Sjafrie Sjamsoedd.

In March, Indonesian Defence Ministry spokesperson Rico Ricardo Sirait had said the agreement with India on getting the missile system was a “part of the modernisation of military hardware and defence capabilities, especially ⁠in the maritime sector.”

Sources said the two sides are working on a phased procurement plan that would include the Brahmos missile that can fire at targets 290 km away. Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) restrictions on range, cap missile at 290 km.

Vietnam is also looking at the missile systems and the contract is reportedly valued at approximately $620 million. It includes the supply of mobile coastal defence missile batteries, operator training and long-term logistics and maintenance support.

Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, Indonesia sign defence cooperation accord, Ankara says​

 
* Exports: First export order in 2022, followed by deals with two more Southeast Asian countries in 2026. Exports involving the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam are set to exceed $600 million.

* Production: Units in Hyderabad, Nagpur, Pilani and Lucknow are working in full swing to complete Armed Forces orders.

* Supply chain: Plans to expand from 1–2 industry partners per system/subsystem to 45 sources to improve quality, pricing and surge capacity.

* R&D: Setting up Tech-bricks for niche technologies needed to develop and test next-generation BrahMos.

* BrahMos-NG: First prototype expected by 2027–28, with higher indigenous content, new technologies and advanced materials.

* 1,500-km variant: Part of the future roadmap, currently at the conceptual stage. Range-extension work has demonstrated capabilities beyond the original 290-km range.

* Indian Navy: MoD signed a contract on 6 October for BrahMos fire-control systems and launchers, with at least 68% indigenous content and MSME participation.
