      It may sound shocking, but "Brahmos" can also be based on a ship and on the ground!

      Generally infa passed that it will be suspended from the SU - 30 MKI. And on the issue of the number of these aircraft - the question is not for me.

        It sounds even more shocking. - Armed with Russia
        Since BrahMos is structurally similar to the P-800 Onyx missiles, it can replace them as part of the missile system, in particular, on frigates of Project 22350. The Navy did not enter service. And what is infa that Russia adopted a ground-based BRAMOS on armament.

        I heard similar words in one war film from the commissar Shtykom and a shovel, little blood and on foreign territory !!! But in reality, everything was not as it was perceived, as it should have been. Warriors do not win new units on slogans !

Yes, they like land claims to us and others do not have an acre aircraft carrier, and even they managed it, so I agree with you on all 100+

India is our main ally.
Let them arm themselves.
We are calmer if that!

  Russia has three allies — the Army, Aviation and Navy, and India is more likely an economic partner.

Invar-M, as far as I remember, is part of the Reflex complex, and is not a projectile, but an anti-tank missile system developed in the early 90s. On its basis, "Cornet" was made

India, with the support of Pakistan, strikes at NATO’s Afghan bases ... Drying with long-range missiles kills an enemy in the air and at airfields without entering their weapons. Tank wedges cut through the Afghan desert with targeted shots at great distances of 5000 meters. At that moment, the United States began hyperinflation and the dollar collapsed ... Civil war swept over the states, command and control is broken, fuel is running out, desertion, panic, encirclement, captivity ... Then there will be the Washington trial and the trial of bankers and federals with the subsequent transfer of power to the state front
