India marks a new generation of domestically produced weapons, “Brahmos” supersonic cruise missile is in the introduction of derivative models. Former Indian President, Kalam said the missile technology experts, India is developing a “super BrahMos” missile, it is not only the flight speed of up to 8-10 times the speed of sound, but also repeatedly put into use.
India Newkerala News 9 said, Kalam said he is proposing in the existing Indian “BrahMos” missile, based on the development of a new concept of reusable missiles. He said the biggest advantage is that the missile can fly to put the theater on their own return to base after the warhead, can be simply re-launch maintenance. Compared with the existing fighter aircraft, which targets small and does not require pilots can perform some dangerous attack missions. In addition, the new missile’s flight speed fast, 8-10 times the cruising speed can exceed the speed of sound. Estimates according to Kalam, “Super BrahMos” missile in 2016, developed later than 2020.
“BrahMos” missile was jointly developed a new Russian-Indian supersonic missile. This missile has a maximum range of 290 km, the use of low altitude flight patterns to avoid the opponent treetop reconnaissance radar, even if they are found, a cruise speed of Mach 2.5 is also able to intercept before the opponent to organize an effective attack. A new generation of weapons made in India, “Brahmos” The development process could be considered a rare smooth sailing. India’s army has decided to develop the models derived from three kinds of sea and air missiles, armed forces to achieve universal primary combat weapon. At present the Indian Army has been equipped with four groups of “BrahMos” missile, one of the regiment deployed in the border region.
according to Kalam idea of ??reusable “Super BrahMos” missile combat pattern similar to the U.S. war in Afghanistan, widespread use of the “Predator” and “Reaper” unmanned aerial vehicles, But with the existing subsonic UAV leisurely compared to the “super Brahmos” 8-10 times the speed of sound to ensure exposure to the whereabouts of terrorist leaders and other “time sensitive targets” can not escape. The U.S. is also developing similar hypersonic aircraft, such as the recent launch failure of the “Falcon” HTV-2 maximum speed up to 20 times the speed of sound, basic can not intercept the existing air defense weapons. But analysts believe that the development of hypersonic aircraft from the U.S. experience, this type of missile 10 times the speed of sound in the engine needs, material, and a breakthrough, which is India’s defense industrial system weaknesses. Therefore, India’s “Super BrahMos” missile can schedule service, it is difficult to judge. (Wei Yunfeng)
