For a long time, India has been actively developing strategic nuclear forces, Dream “hegemony in South Asia.” Since 1983, began implementing the “Integrated Guided Missile Development Program” has successfully developed the “Prithvi” and “Fire” in two series of ballistic missiles.
In addition, in February this year, land and naval exhibition in New Delhi, the Indian army openly stated that in India, near the border between India and Pakistan could carry out the deployment of additional long-range precision strike missions, the “Brahmos” -2 ultra sonic cruise missiles, and hinted that more than the power of such missiles and similar weapons in China and Pakistan.
“Brahmos” -2 is still the core technology research and development stage belonging to the Russian
In order to meet the Indian Army attacked the ship and the demand, India’s Defense Research Development Organization in the “Brahmos” cruise missile, based on the continued development of “BrahMos” supersonic cruise missile development -2. The missile on December 22, 2004 launched the first test.
Professor of the Second Artillery Command College Senior Colonel Shao Ling interview In an interview with reporters, said Ben Wang, “Brahmos” -2 can only say that research and development stage, but did not successfully developed. Have been successfully developed is the “Brahmos.”
“Bula” refers to India’s Brahmaputra River, “Moss” is taken from Russia’s Moscow River. This is a supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles.
Supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles and cruise missiles on the general meaning is different. In a general sense of the cruise missiles, such as the U.S. “Tomahawk”, China’s “sword -10″ are to subsonic flight, a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, using a turbo-fan engines. Some are subsonic anti-ship cruise missiles, using the turbo-fan engine; supersonic rocket engine is used is also a flight within the atmosphere, the speed very quickly.
“Brahmos” is a supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, there are several models, such as ship-launched and air-launched and land-launched. Supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, fuel-consuming, it actually could only handle a range of 300 km.
As the “BrahMos” is a use of supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, rocket engines, Russia accounted for technology components were relatively large proportion of the core technology is still part of Russia, and India is mainly involved in the development of some software.
India is already equipped with the “Brahmos” cruise missile, but Russia did not use, because Russia has better weapons and equipment. India is not satisfied on this point, because Russia, as developed countries are not equipped with their own words, is bound to affect “Brahmos” exports.
