Indian supersonic missile reached Mian Channu in Pakistan : ISPR
- Thread starter Tatvamasi
- Start date
I doubt it ie via command ( not sure , info not known to me ) but will self destruct if not detonated via target ( to prevent salvage by hostiles )
On what do you base this? Are you saying that armed missiles can be launched and there will be no retaliation?
The Brahmos web-site? Have you seen it? It clearly mentions that the warhead can be conventional or strategic.
Classification of Missile - BrahMos.com
a universal supersonic cruise missile.different types of indian missile and russian missile.

The connection escapes me.
As far as I know, the Americans have tried but failed to get control over their procedures. If you know better, do you have a source?
You don't seem to get the point. If they detect a missile coming their way, they have no way of knowing if it has a warhead or not; very few people will come to the conclusion that a missile has been launched at them without a warhead. They also have no way of knowing if it is conventional or strategic.
Under those circumstances, what do you expect them to do?
There is no need for avoiding an answer by making personal remarks.
Well whatever our jingoistic guys here , we can just ignore it.
Because your point is valid.
May be it was a intentional strike or just a misfire only.
But the point is there is an unpredictable situation in here.If it was a strike and Pak officials are tries to cover it then it means they were doing some real nasty work there.
Our methodology and over reliance on Brahmos kind of weapons is bit uncomfortable.
You have a point, if you are saying that by the time a missile from India lands, there will not have been enough time to launch their own missile, although my own impression is that they have systems that can be activated in minutes, not in hours.
However, surely the point has occurred to you that we in turn will have no way of knowing if a reactive strike from the other side is armed or not, if armed, if it has a conventional warhead or a nuclear one. We already know that they have focussed on tactical nuclear weapons, and it is inconceivable that they have not tested it on their missiles.
It's about one moment of panic - on either side - leading to nuclear disaster.
My problem with jingoistic guys here is that they are never to be found when jingoistic guys of the other side have to be countered. Then these heroes are usually under their beds.
Picking up from your last line, the danger is that the only hot line, a direct line that goes straight to a decision-maker from his counter-part, exists only between the two DGMOs. NOT, afaik, between the air force and naval equivalents.
Considering that this was an air force misadventure, there was in fact no way of communicating with the other side in haste.
We wont Rely only on the Brahmos when we have to go for a real strike
It will be a Combination of Brahmos ,Rudram , Shaurya and Nirbhay to take out their Air Defences
Can we trust the Chinese not to do this, considering their behaviour on the ground in recent months?
Excellent point.
They will have their own audit now and whatever it takes they will do something for defence and since their window for response of Brahmos kind of system is minimal ,next time they will overreact to anything that resembles to a missile blinks in their radar .
Not good at all
It is difficult to do it by command, considering the distances, the reliability of signals over those distances, and the added complication of designed evasive manoeuvres in some cases. Self-detonation by time lapse is the preferred method.
Very well articulated.
My friend the problem is why we have so much itching for a war with Pakistan.
Did you see what is happening to Russia?
We can learn a thing or two from Chinese in this regard.
No matter what ever sophisticated technology we are using on field there will be some definite drain in our resources we cannot invade another nation even if we have absolute self reliance in defence .
Fortunately our Govt now knows it .
Unlike the jingoistic nationalistic approach like last they did in Balakot , this time it was bit mature (only if it was strike.)
I believes it was an attack because there wont be any chance for multiple SOP and system failures .
We have to be smart.

They will have to bring out their Missiles and keep them ready for Firing by integrating the warheads
It is a good thing for our ELINT assets and more over our HUMINT assets too can bring more information to supplement the ELINT gathered by the satellites
And all those advantage will neutralize if we consider the time variant.
Suppose if we have a genuine misfire in future and went to Pakistan .Things will easily went down to south .
Pakistan as a nation dont have any better thing to do instead of K word and attention seeking .
They are damn for it .
We dont have to Start a War
We have to Only Retaliate to provocations
And Pakistan will keep provoking India.
US has been humiliated by Pakistan inside Afghanistan
They will infact help us because US wants Revenge from Pakistan
After all these mess they made for Russians by scapegoating Ukranians , you still have the audacity to trust that Western Bald Eagle .
US wants profit, big chunk of profit and a throne to rule the World .Nothing more nothing less.
They want Pakistan
There is no need to worry about a Accidental firing because we have been handling missiles for
30 years Now
We know all about missile safety
This was a deliberate thing done to probe their defences and deliver a message
The Top Brass is aware of all exigencies and contingencies
And the Global Geo political situation
Let the Pakistanis escalate , do another Swift Retort
US Russia relations , US Pakistan Relations , US India relations are all different
How will US proceed in this case
They will also find out what exactly did we target
Secondly they will have a Re look at
Pakistani Air defences in that area and in other places especially the Much Vaunted HQ 9 because they would also like to have a go at them , sometimes in future
Then they will lecture us on Escalation and Restraint
And lastly they will ask us to buy more goodies , simply to look the other way
yes Brahmos does not have self destruct mechanism. It seems that the missile had full fuel in it and that fuel exploded which resulted in the kind of destruction we saw in some videos. The warhead not only has lots of explosives but also other material like iron balls etc to cause huge damage.
Wrong!!!!
Guys debate the points.... Not the person... And Pls do not bring SS from other forums....
