Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile : News, Updates and Discussions

Why none of the naval articles in test got any control surfaces/fins like the air launched one? This is why I actually thought the NG version is solely air launched. Do these deploy the fins later via actuator control?
 
Yeah they are quite close to realising Nirbhay variant, though SLCM is a complete new project under ANSP so there is nothing yet on range etc. Nirbhay was 1000km, most likely to be extended further with STFE later variants, mk2 version etc. Below are some pics, thanks to @ Neutronx find from a presentation seminar last year. In the engines pic below, that mkII will be powering several articles I hope.

#WATCH | As one of our most lethal air-combat assets, the BrahMos supersonic missile has really galvanized the way we will equip ourselves with precision firepower in the coming years. Seeing the conflicts that are happening across the globe the importance of precision, long range firepower can't be underscored: Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari
The combination of BrahMos on the Sukhoi Su-30 has really given us tremendous capability that has enhanced our firepower. It has made the deterrence value of the IAF go up by leaps and bounds: Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari
As the situation unfolded in Northern borders three years ago, we realised that the potent weapon can be used very effectively for land attacks... In future, next-generation BrahMos or a small version that can be fitted onto smaller platforms like MiG-29, Mirage 2000 or even the LCA: IAF Chief


 
Look in that interview 2 months ago DR Rane specifically mentioned Brahmos was never meant for nuke use. It is a conventional warfighting weapon & will remain so. As Dr Kalam famously said re warheads, you can put flowers in it if you want to. So this is a question for the policymakers . But as a weapon for export, Brahmos was & will always be a conventional missile.
 
Future is subsonic LO Cruise Missiles......Brahmos is a over expensive over Hyped Missile.
Nirbhay failure like most of DODO failure has been a real disaster. Thy can't complete one Project & immediately start running towards other resulting in more & more failure , no accountability nothing.
 
Not sure why would they want 3 versions assuming land, ship and air launched. They are landlocked country.
Yes, surprising as they don't even have a navy. Air Launched BrahMos for their fleet of Su-30SM and land launched versions are perfect for them as per common discretion.

Armenia has really turned towards India after Russia double-crossed them by vetoing their use of Su-30SMs against Azerbaijan. Good for us though:)
