Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile : News, Updates and Discussions

Don't know if this was posted before :

"The BrahMos NG will first be integrated on India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas. Subsequently, up to 5 BrahMos NG missiles will be fitted on the Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter jets of IAF. At Aero India 2019, BrahMos Aerospace displaced a model of the LCA Tejas with two BrahMos NG missiles integrated under its wings. The maximum speed of the BrahMos NG missile will be 3.5 mach."

More firepower for IAF against China, Pakistan! Sukhoi-30 MKIs to get 5 next generation BrahMos NG missiles

To fit on the LCA, they will make the little Brahmos smaller and lighter than they originally planned to. Which means even the range will reduce.

Brahmos NG with a range of 300+ KM will cover entire Pakistan,Hope Brahmos NG will be smaller and lighter,But as Nirbhay getting matured the air lunch version will be more lethal if we can add few features like data link to mid-course update and also use it for reconnaissance purpose which will provide critical information like coordinates of an enemy battlefield with an imaging infrared seeker for target identification.

Both are in the works, so it should be fine.

You can expect a near-hypersonic Brahmos variant followed by a hypersonic Brahmos variant as well.

Upgraded BrahMos With 500-km Range Ready: CEO Of BrahMos Aerospace

Hack:
  • The upgraded version of home-made BrahMos missile is ready, the CEO of BrahMos Aerospace Sudhir Kumar Mishra confirmed
  • The enhanced version of the supersonic cruise missile has a massive range of up to 500 km
  • Mishra also said that India is now the only country in the world to integrate long-range missiles onto fighter jets after the BrahMos missile was test-fired from a Sukhoi 30 aircraft of the Indian Air Force

The CEO of BrahMos Aerospace Sudhir Kumar Mishra on Sunday said that the upgraded version of home-made BrahMos missile is ready.The enhanced version of the supersonic cruise missile has a massive range of up to 500 km. In an interview, Mishra said that with this development, it is possible to increase the range of this missile because India is now a part of the elite Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
"India has successfully test-fired a vertical deep dive version of BrahMos, the world's fastest supersonic cruise missile, that can now change the dynamics of conventional warfare. The upgraded version of the missile with enhanced range of up to 500 km is also ready," he said.​
Mishra also said that India is now the only country in the world to integrate long-range missiles onto fighter jets after the BrahMos missile was test-fired from a Sukhoi 30 aircraft of the Indian Air Force. Earlier in May, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Friday successfully test-fired an indigenously developed 500 kg class guided bomb from a Sukhoi combat jet at Pokhran in Rajasthan. The guided bomb achieved the desired range and hit the target with high precision.

The Indian Air Force had also successfully test fired the aerial version of the supersonic BrahMos cruise missile from a Sukhoi jet at the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The 2.5-tonne air-to-surface missile has a range of around 300 km, and it will significantly enhance the IAF's combat capability. The BrahMos cruise missile travels at a speed of Mach 2.8, nearly three times that of sound.

Earlier the testing of the missile was delayed due to Cyclone Fani. The IAF and DRDO are planning to testfire the air-launched version of the world's fastest supersonic cruise missile BrahMos from a Su-30MKI combat aircraft.

First prototype of Brahmos-NG to be ready by 2024

The first prototype of the Brahmos-NG, a lighter sleeker variant of the Indo-Russian cruise missile, will be fielded in 2024. A top official of the Brahmos Aerospace, the Indo-Russian joint venture company which manufactures the missile, told India Today TV that the missile was currently under development between NPO Mashinostroyeniya and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The NG or next generation will mark a quantum jump in the offensive abilities of the Indian armed forces. The five-metre-long, 50-centimetre-thick, and 1.5 ton Brahmos-NG is half the dimensions of the Brahmos missiles currently in service today with the Indian Air Force (IAF), Army, and the Navy.

The Brahmos-NG’s significant weight and size reductions mean that it can be carried by many more platforms including the conventional submarines and the fighter aircraft.

It will, however, have the same speed, range and lethality of the first generation Brahmos which flies at three times the speed of sound.

The Su-30MKI which carries one Brahmos presently, carries one Brahmos-NG, will be able to carry five Brahmos-NGs. We can put it on the MiG-29 and on the indigenous LCA Tejas, Praveen Pathak, Chief General Manager (Marketing Promotions and Export) Brahmos Aerospace International Maritime at the Defence Show (IMDS), said.

The Indo-Russian Brahmos joint venture was formed in 1998 and is the oldest military joint venture between India and Russia.
