Jij verwees naar het M-fregat dat het niet meer zou kunnen dan een OPV bij zo'n aanstormende raket....

Over de uitrusting van de OPV's is al genoeg discussie gevoerd, daarbij lijkt mij het niet waarschijnlijk dat een OPV van de ene op de andere dag totaal onverwacht een Brahmos op zich af ziet komen... Maar ben zoals gezegd wel benieuwd of een westers land de komende jaren met een meer capabele opvolger van Harpoon komt...

Het M-fregat heeft in ieder geval een goalkeeper die het OPV ontbeert....

En wij.... wij trekken ons terug achter de dijken, verkleinen de vloot en geven haar minder middelen, maar het komt goed: wij hebben immers het OPV.

Blij dat jij je kans weer schoon zag om het OPV af te kraken, maar inhoudelijk kom je nergens mee. Ik vraag me namelijk af of M-Fregatten wél veel kans maken om een brahmos raket te weren. Groter probleem is volgens mij dat de VS noch Europa echt bezig zijn met een rivaal voor Brahmos, gezien die qua range en zeker qua snelheid superieur is aan Harpoon. De logica is was dat betreft helder: hoe sneller en hoe lager het ding vliegt, hoe moeilijker hij is neer te halen...

Work on submarine launched BrahMos in final stages

12 Jul, 2012

COIMBATORE: The work on launch of submarine variant of supersonic cruise missile BrahMos was in the final stages, a top official of the Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace said today.

"Yes we are on the job and it is in the final stages," BrahMos Aerospace CEO and MD Dr A Sivathanu Pillai told reporters here when asked about the submarine launched-missile.

Sea and ground-launched versions have been successfully tested and put into service with the Indian Army and Navy. The flight tests of the airborne version will be completed by the end of 2012.

Pillai said the Hypersonic version of Brahmos-2 cruise missile will be ready for launch in another five years.

With the research on propulsion of scramjet underway, the hypersonic missile, with four times speed that the present Supersonic missile, would be ready for induction into Indian forces by 2017.

With a 300 million Dollars investment, the company, a Indo-Russian joint venture, was doing a business of five billion dollars at present, he said.

However, he said the company would think of large scale exports only after meeting the requirements of Indian armed forces.

BrahMos develops anti-aircraft variant of missile

Press Trust of India / New Delhi Mar 31, 2012, 16:01 IST

Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos has developed an anti-aircraft carrier variant of the 290-km supersonic cruise missile.

"We have achieved the capability to attack aircraft carriers using the supersonic vertical diving variant of the missile and after demonstrating the capability recently with high precision, we will now offer this to the Indian Navy," BrahMos chief A Sivathanu Pillai said here today.

He was asked to comment on the recent two successful test firings of the missile.

Pillai said the test firing for the steep dive variant was done for the Army and after its success, the path is clear for the induction of the fourth regiment of the  missile for mountain warfare.

The army has plans of deploying this missile regiment in the Northeast along the borders with China and the proposal was accorded sanction in a Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) meeting last year.

The development comes in the backdrop of China's first aircraft carrier undergoing scientific testing and training exercises ahead of its commissioning in August.

The BrahMos chief said the tests were also to evaluate certain new systems of the missile, which are produced by the Indian industries so that bulk production clearance can be given for integration.

"This will facilitate faster induction in the Indian armed forces," he said.

Pillai said with the Indian forces planning to induct a number of new aircraft such as the 126 multirole combat fighter jets and the MiG 29K naval fighters, BrahMos was considering developing a smaller version of the BrahMos missile for them.

At present, the company is developing an air-launched version of the Su-30MKI, which falls in the heavy weight category among fighter jets.
