India tested BrahMos supersonic rocketRIA News. The Indian Army on Wednesday conducted another successful test of the BrahMos supersonic rocket, developed by Indian and Russian specialists, the Times of India newspaper reported.

According to the military command, the launch of a ground-to-ground missile, which is in service with the ground forces, took place at the Chandipur range in the state of Orissa in eastern India and was recognized as successful.

The Brahmos missile systems of sea and land bases are already in service with the naval and land forces of India. Preparations are underway for the installation of this weapon on fighters and submarines.

Currently, the Indian Army has two regiments deployed with BrahMos missile systems capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 300 kilometers at speeds of up to three Machs. According to media reports, such missiles are also planned to equip another regiment, which will be deployed in the state of Arunachal Pradesh on the Chinese border.

The Russian-Indian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace, created by the Indian Organization for Defense Research and Development (DRDO) and the Russian NPO Mashinostroeniya, is named after the rivers of India and Russia - the Brahmaputra and Moscow. Its headquarters is located in New Delhi. The company produces two-stage solid-fuel supersonic cruise missiles with a range of 290 kilometers, capable of carrying warheads weighing 200-300 kilograms.

            Brahmos block 1 - the option for firing at ground targets seems to be equipped with an inertial control system and GOS with guidance on the radar portrait of the target. Brahmos block 2 - In the media there was information about the use of GOS operating in a wide range of frequencies (optical + GOS radar apparently). Perhaps the appearance of a modification with a passive radar GSN.- BrahMos block 1 Sea LACM - Conditional name, sea-based KR - LACM - Land Attack Cruise Missile; BrahMos block 2 LACM - Land-based cruise missile with vertical launch SPU, LACM - Land Attack Cruise Missile; SPU based on the Tatra vehicle (manufactured in India, license), wheel arrangement 12 x 12, on SPU 3 TPK with missiles, launch from a vertical position. Presumably, the missile can be equipped with a nuclear warhead and a new control system for use on ground targets. - BrahMos block 2 (option II) - conditional name, ship-based anti-ship missiles with vertical launch launcher, conditional variant name;BrahMos (option III) - RCC for basing on submarines with vertical launch launchers, the name of the option is conditional; April 20, 2010 announced the completion of the development of the rocket and the readiness of the rocket for testing;
            - BrahMos A / BrahMos (option IV) - RCC aviation-based, the name of the option is conditional; The development of an air-based missile was completed on May 12, 2010. It is planned to conduct tests with the Su-30MKI fighter (2 units are being converted) from 2011 to 2012. The missiles are equipped with a new fairing of the frontal air intake.

      The missile is based on the P-800 Onyx (more precisely, on its export version - Yakhont) - the development of the NPO Mashinostroyeniya of the 1980s. BrahMos is capable of speeds from 2,5 to 2,8 Mach.
      It has long been in service.

          The United States has nuclear weapons and we have nuclear weapons. Our missile attack on the USA AUG will entail a nuclear strike, the attack of the USA AUG on our territory will entail a nuclear strike. A nuclear strike would entail a retaliatory nuclear strike. And this is the total collapse of human civilization.
          It follows that only the patient will send the USA AUG to Russia and only the patient will send Russian missiles to the USA AUG.
          But the whole problem is that AUG Americans use perfectly well in combat without strikes against Russia, but our anti-ship missiles have never attacked anyone in their entire history, because they are focused on fighting AUG, and they have no fight with AUG capabilities.

          To defend their interests in the territory of a third country, the United States can use the ACG and do it. And our anti-ship missiles languish in the mines.

                I can cite several ways to this:
                1) Improving conventional air defense (c500 is already approaching this)
                2) Use of an electromagnetic pulse - a huge phased antenna array can not only effectively detect targets, but if used as a microwave emitter, hit these targets with an electromagnetic pulse.
                3) Laser technology - a sufficiently powerful (even ground stationary) laser is quite capable of destroying missiles at any height.

            not obvious due to unpredictable consequences. and very much depends on in response to which a missile strike was applied. dismantling with conventional weapons is more likely, especially if one side has clear superiority, plus a more favorable geopolitical position.

            such ordinary teenagers can not be trusted even with an ordinary bogeyman, and not just with a short barrel or, especially, anti-ship missiles. this is precisely the gusto for a normal state: to have weapons and not to use them. not because they themselves were scared, but because potential lovers of other people's nishtyaks would think about the consequences two hundred times before climbing on the rampage, knowing in advance about the presence of these very weapons on the enemy. In any case, these missiles are a guarantee that you will not be treated according to the Yugoslav, Iraqi or Libyan scenario. otherwise it’s possible to cry that the USSR-RF has nuclear weapons, and has never used it right and left. byad!

        the brilliance and poverty of nuclear weapons lie in the fact that it is not a weapon of the battlefield, but only the last argument of the kings. if a superpower sticks a toothpick in the ass, a nuclear strike is unlikely to follow - a clear overkill - they will try to figure out using conventional weapons in response.

        and in general, a strange approach to business: if there is a sledgehammer on the farm, then it does not follow from its presence that there should not be drills, hammers and pliers on the farm.

      If absolutely for sure, then you are right here, + !!! because ....- P-800 "Onyx" (Navy URAI Index - 3M55, export name - "Yakhont", according to the classification of the US and NATO Defense Forces - SS-N-26 Strobile (English "conifer cone")) - Soviet / Russian medium-range universal anti-ship missile, designed to combat surface naval groups and single ships in conditions of strong fire and electronic countermeasures.

      The Russian side is responsible for the creation of the rocket (glider and power plant), India - the control system. The acceleration of work was facilitated by a high degree of unification between the BraMos anti-ship missiles and the Russian Onyx missile.

      Since 1998, the further development of Onyx anti-ship missiles (namely, the original Onyx, and not the export Yakhont) has been carried out by the BrahMos Aerospace Pvt. Ltd., a joint Russian-Indian venture founded on 12.02.98/1999/XNUMX, founded by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO - Defense Research and Development Organization) of the Ministry of Defense of India and the NGO Engineering. The word "BrahMos" (BrahMos) is made up of the names of two rivers - the Brahmaputra in India and Moscow in Russia. In XNUMX, work began on the complex in related design bureaus.

      Serial production of the rocket was launched in January 2004. For 2005-2006. the capacities of adjacent plants allowed to produce 100 missiles per year, in 2009 - already 200 missiles. During the serial production, about half of the components are planned to be produced at Strela NPO (Orenburg).

      Under third parties it can be assumed, but only according to "rumors", that Iran and Venezuela have applied, and Bastions with Yakhonts have been installed in Syria, but from Syria to Iran is "a stone's throw" !!!

    We should also cooperate with the Indians because it was precisely these people who in the past had great knowledge in the field of aircraft and rocket science. In particular, the ancient book - Vimanika-sastra tells a lot. Below are some excerpts that give reason to think about the level of achievements of civilization.

    Chaapala. When an enemy aircraft appears in the field of view, then by turning the power center switch located in the central compartment of the vimaana, an atmospheric wave is created, which propagates at a speed of 4087 revolutions per hour, and shakes the enemy’s aircraft.


    Sarvatomukha. When a squadron of enemy aircraft attacks the vimaana, they turn the switch located at the very top of the vimaana. As a result, the vimaana will begin to spin rapidly, turning around on all sides.


    Parashabda Graahaka. As explained in the Sudominical, or Science of Electronics, thanks to the sound-catching yantra installed in the vimaana, it is possible to hear conversations and sounds coming from an enemy aircraft.


    Roopaakarshana. Through the photographic yantra mounted on board the vimaana, one can obtain a “television” image of what is happening in the vimaana of the enemy.
