The only answer is that China is stronger than India, so India does not want the conflict to escalate, India is stronger than Pakistan, so India can escalate the conflict recklessly
Here's one take.
Lucky that it didn't turn 180 degree accidentally....
There was a NOTAM for a SAM test , which has failed
PAF chief is explaining I'mRand Khan how next time if India accidentally fires a Brahmos or any other missile they are fully prepared to intercept it and for that they successfully conducted their Air Defence Missile test yesterday but unfortunately India didn't accidentally fired a Brahmos missile so Pakistani Air Defense Missile decided to return back and land on Pakistan itself safely unlike that rogue Indian missile which malfactioned and entered Pakistan and destroyed buildings. He explained how Chinese made Pakistani Missiles are technologically superior to Indian missile as it didn't crossed the border and land in India and caused embarassment to Pakistan like that rogue Brahmos missile did to India....For details on what exactly the PAF chief is explaining Dimran , let me direct you to @lcafanboy

Answer is they could track it partially only when it was already cruising at altitude along the border, hence their curiousity on locating the exact launch position which is being said to be secret military launch site. For reference you can refer to their list of demands which includes the request for launch site confirmation which in another words mean, they know only the general area, not the exact military launch location. If they don't know the exact launch location, then they are speculating of full range during this incident resulting in math figures not adding up for essay writers on both sides of the border.If they had actually tracked it, they would have shot it down. They didn't. The time is a random number given for domestic consumption.
LOL! First, it is a "it" not he. Second, it is primarily anti-ship missile. Land attack is its secondary capability and it is a pretty expensive solution for a land attack cruise missile. Third, do you even know what a SAR is? Fourth it is guided by a very accurate INS augmented with India's own space based navigation system, so it does not need outdated things like TERCOM. Since land attack is its secondary capability anyways, an INS with NAVIC is a much better suited system than mapping terrain contour of all terrains it need to navigate. INS fits the bill for sea as well as land attack guidance. Fifth, it has a very very powerful seeker for terminal guidance which is mostly omitted in land attack mode because ... duh... land targets do not move. Last, there is very very very less chance of any kind of anti air system --least of which made by amateurs like China-- to ever intercept a high supersonic missile like Brahmos, especially when it is fired in a volley of 5-10 missiles. Lastly, the reason why India deploys such an expensive missile is simple : It is impossible for anyone to confuse it for a nuclear ballistic missile.My answer is that BrahMos is already behind the times. At the end of the Cold War, he was very powerful, but now, a person without synthetic aperture radar, without terrain matching ability, relying only on high speed, wants to penetrate the modern air defense network (with CEC capability), the probability is basically zero
Actually no one know if it turned or not because only Pakistani are claiming that. There is no good reason to believe they are telling truth or if they are even capable of knowing the right flight profile. For all we know they might be bluffing about it to keep their in-control image for domestic consumptio as they and Chinese things they use failed totally to even attempt at intercepting this missile.But one of the most important questions is why Brahmos flew in India for a while and then turned to Pakistan, which not only lost the energy of the missile, but also increased the warning time of Pakistan.
But it turned 360 degree! Gafoora and party was saying that the missile turned 360 degree!Lucky that it didn't turn 180 degree accidentally....
First India fired a curise missile, then it fired a SAM! India is going to give entire offence and defence to Pakistan this way!What if this is the second accident coming from India ?![]()
Could be... but since there was a NOTAM for that launch, we could just ignore the damn thing.This missile from Pakistan may have been launched and aborted to check the response of Indian defences. The missile need not fly into India. The moment Indian defences go into hyper drive and switch on all the radars or prepare to do a counter fire is enough for pakistan to know how prepared and good/bad our anti missile defences are.
TERCOM is outdated? Since when? India is incapable of making a credible TERCOM following missile, and suddenly fan boys started hate speech against a technology?LOL! First, it is a "it" not he. Second, it is primarily anti-ship missile. Land attack is its secondary capability and it is a pretty expensive solution for a land attack cruise missile. Third, do you even know what a SAR is? Fourth it is guided by a very accurate INS augmented with India's own space based navigation system, so it does not need outdated things like TERCOM.

Bonus, India is very close to finishing a more modern version of this missile which is powered by SCRAMjet, making it hypersonic missile. Till now only Russia has such a system.
