🇮🇳 BrahMos
Multi-domain · BrahMos Aerospace (Hindistan DRDO + Rusya NPO Mashinostroyeniya ortak girişimi) · 2007
An Indo-Russian supersonic cruise missile that skims in at Mach 2.8 from sea level, launchable from ship/land/air/submarine — the world's fastest operational cruise missile.
Specifications
- Type: Supersonic cruise missile (anti-ship + land-attack), ramjet-powered
- Origin: India + Russia joint (DRDO + NPO Mashinostroyeniya)
- Speed: Mach 2.8 (~3,430 km/h), supersonic throughout flight
- Range: 290 km (export); ER variant up to 450-800 km
- Warhead: 200-300 kg conventional
- Propulsion: Two-stage: solid booster + liquid-fuel ramjet
- Platforms: Ship (vertical/inclined), land (mobile TEL), Su-30MKI aircraft, submarine
- In service: 2007 (Indian Army); first export customer Philippines 2022/2024
Beats: Tomahawk (Mach 0.7 subsonik vs Mach 2.8 — önleme penceresi çok dar), Kalibr (BrahMos daha yüksek terminal hız ve daha ağır kinetik etki)
Loses to: Tomahawk (menzilde — ~1600 km vs 290 km ihracat tavanı), Zircon (hipersonik Mach 8+ rakip ham hız ve önlenemezlikte önde)
The supersonic sea-skimming profile leaves the defender under a second to react; in the anti-ship role the essence of deterrence is speed.
