The range of BrahMos missiles in India was increased to 500 km, accuracy - up to a meter

30

A new version of the BraMos cruise missile of joint production of Russia and India will be tested this year. It will have a range of more than 300 kilometers and greater accuracy. The range of the updated rocket in India will be 500 kilometers. In this case, it will hit the target with an accuracy of one meter. The previous version in range did not exceed 300 kilometers and had an accuracy of 10 meters.

The new BraMos will be equipped with improved sensors and tracking devices. This will be done immediately after the relevant studies.



India will be able to produce rockets with a range of more than 300 kilometers after joining the "elite club" of countries that have recognized the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The countries included in this structure have agreed not to transfer to other states technologies that allow them to produce missiles with a range of over 300 kilometers. It was precisely because of these limitations that India was not allowed to take advantage of the Russian development of long-range missiles. Russia did not have the right to share them.

Currently, the BrahMos missile can be used for land, air, submarine and surface launch systems. The structure of the armed forces of India includes three missile regiments of such missiles located in the west of the country near the Pakistan border. Another such unit is stationed in Arunachal Pradesh.

BrahMos is the result of military-technical cooperation between the Russian Federation and India. Its name consists of the names of two rivers - the Brahmaputra and Moscow.

The Bramos rocket platform, already adopted by the Indian army, its naval and air forces, is now on display at DefExpo 2020 in the Indian city of Lucknow.

Here you can see how closely Russia and India cooperate in the military-industrial sphere. For example, in the Russian exhibition you can see the layout of the Russian Ka-226T helicopter, which will soon be made in India. The T-90 tank, which has long been successfully produced by our Indian partners, is also presented at the exhibition.

In addition, Russia presents products of the Kalashnikov concern, a new artillery module for infantry fighting vehicles and much more.

According to the deputy director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Vladimir Drozhzhov, over the entire existence of the Russian Federation, our country has sold India $ 70 billion worth of weapons.

      Last time on a branch, a colleague fiercely argued with me about the range of BrahMos. I was advised not to talk about the actual range until the "information in the open press" appeared. And I didn't have to wait long!
      About accuracy. Up to a meter, you can only select ECO. Apparently ours and it was delivered to the Indians.

                Israeli Spike-NLOS can hit tanks. Range up to 25 km, optoelectronic targeting. On Brahmos, the OES, if there is, is "simpler" - for 500 km cruise missiles are not fired at individual tanks. But for stationary objects - launchers, command posts, positions of heavy artillery, etc. - yes. On ships, Brahmos with OES can also "work", because due to the size of the ship, it is practically stationary for a super (hyper) sonic missile.

      Why do we give some international structure our sovereign right to decide to whom we can sell missile technology and who not, and call it an "elite club"? Are the upcoming amendments to the Constitution aimed against this?

        In your opinion, the use of the X-35 from aircraft, helicopters, surface ships and coastal complexes is not a record. And "Onyx", which is also launched from submarines, surface ships, DBKs and aviation? Although "BrahMos" is "Onyx" adapted for production in India

      good Cool! fellow
      stop And these are not those missiles whose analogues under the name "Caliber" fly at a distance of up to 2 km?
      According to senior government officials at the beginning of February 2019, the range of a sea-based Caliber-NK missile, if transferred to land, will be up to 2,6 thousand km

      You are on the right track, gentlemen, Indians! Keep it up! Fifteen years and [3x (2600: 500) = 15] will not pass and you will have everything ... Yes

      We ourselves participate in this "international structure". And there must always be some kind of restrictions in order to curb the arms race.
      I think that we do not care whether some country, for example, Georgia supplies ballistic missiles with a range of 300 km or missiles with a range of 2000 km. There should be restrictions anyway. But members of this "elite club" among "their own" can export the same missiles, but with parameters that exceed the restrictions imposed by the MTCR
      And the upcoming changes to the Constitution are aimed against those situations when we were forced to look first of all at the concluded agreements, and not at our own constitution. These are most often political and legal issues.

      This is the same development. Back in the early 2000s, we carried a Sukhoi car with an Onyx suspended under the fuselage to all MAKS air shows. But hands did not get to equip their own aviation with such a complex. Two missiles became a new development. "Brahmos-NG", which is slightly smaller in size than just "Brahmos" and a missile with a range of over 300 km

      And what, "Onyx" and "Caliber" - = are they like twin brothers? Two completely different missiles, two completely different design bureaus. Moreover, it is supersonic, and the second subsonic has already become analogues? And at 2600 "Caliber" will be able to fly only on condition that it will have either a warhead that is half as large in weight, or if this warhead is nuclear. Whether such a rocket will be fired from the ground or from a ship will not change anything. So a high-ranking source in state structures argued stupidity

        Today, Onyx anti-ship missiles are in service with several countries at once. In Russia, this complex was installed on a Project 1234.7 “Nakat” rocket ship, on Project 21631 “Buyan-M” ships, as well as on the Severodvinsk MPLATKR. In 2014, this missile was installed on 35 Su-30 SM aircraft. In addition, Onyx is the basis of the Bastion coastal complex.

      Generally speaking, the Russian analogue of Brahmos is Onyx. "Yakhont", like "Yashma", are export options. And even now it flies 600-650 km
