86% indigenisation complete as we have already known for some time. (possibly by value) Only the ramjet being the final elusive piece of the puzzle.
Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile : News, Updates and Discussions
- Thread starter Manmohan_MMY
- Start date
Old pic's of brahmos hitting the surface vessels, the missile flies very close to the surface of the water
There are so many up there right now...... I won't be surprised if few are dedicated for India missile tests alone.
probably not so low for cuise.
The missile take a dive at the end of it flight, driven by its seeker, so as to explode well inside the hull.
Multi trajectory yes , due to cruise it can low fly significant duration during the terminal phase
Make them pay
So big order coming up then. It won't just end with a $450M order.
In case all the amateur experts here didn't notice we're financing Indonesia's bid to buy the Brahmos. Further this is Indonesia we're talking about.
When they faced a financial crunch in either coughing up their contribution to the TFX project or their bid to buy submarines from RoK they casually turned around & offered a barter deal to the Koreans in the form of palm oil. You can take a wild guess at how things panned out .
Since we import huge quantities of them from Indonesia as it is, you can rest assured they'd pull this from their hat sooner rather than later with the value of the palm oil linked to prevailing market rates which means in terms of sheer value we stand to potentially lose & that's only part of the problem.
Further, I believe they've also requested for payment in Indonesian rupiah which is under negotiations. The French are equally susceptible to the barter in palm oil card in the Rafale deal.
Whoever finances them will have to tie up with agencies here to dispose of the palm oil. And now they want a ToT. Real shrewd guys these palm tree climbers turned out to be. Certainly light years better than our lot who're good only for kerimeen & toddy.
I predict we're going to have real fun times with this deal such that we may well buy another full regiment of Brahmos, otherwise not needed, only to target Indonesia.

India, Indonesia working to conclude $450 mn rupee-rupiah transaction for BrahMos missiles; announcement likely on R-Day
For financing the Rs 4,000 crore deal, India is offering a loan to Indonesia from either the State Bank of India (SBI) or another Indian national bank
Indonesia already deploys the Yakhont missile. Strange that they want the Brahmos now. Both have the same kinematic performance, perhaps the guidance, eccm is what interests them. Hope it's a downgraded export version with previous gen electronics we're selling them. These guys have 'brotherly ties' with the Pakistanis.

Just curious , have they completed upgradation of the engine or improved it on the imported engine ? yes we all know there is active plan for this , that there will be a mach 5 version plus the NG/whatever .
What does ALARM-N stand for? Air-launched ARM-Naval variant?
May be AIR LAUNCHED ANTI RADATION MISSILE - NAVAL ...
