The Ministry of Defense, Government of India has signed an agreement with Brahmos Aerospace Pvt Ltd for Rs. A deal of 1700 crore rupees has been made. Under this, the BrahMos company will provide dual-role capable surface-to-surface BrahMos missiles to the Ministry of Defence. As soon as this missile is available, the strength of the Indian Navy will increase many times. The new BrahMos missile is a surface-to-surface missile that targets enemies from the surface of the ground to the sky. Enemies will be stunned as soon as this missile is released. The enemy will not be able to understand what type of missile is being attacked. Recently the country’s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant has been inducted into the Indian Navy. It has Barak missiles. Dual-role capable BrahMos or VLSRAM missiles may also be deployed in future. This will help in curbing Pakistan’s activities in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal region. This technology can be useful in many ways. It can also be deployed on other warships of the Navy.
BrahMos Missile Brahmastra of Indian Army
BrahMos missile can be launched from land, water or air, anywhere. No matter which direction this missile is aimed, it is certain to die. Indian forces are constantly testing different variants of this missile in all three directions, so that the enemy remembers that India has the Brahmastra.
BrahMos becomes more lethal with fighter jets
The Sukhoi-30 MKI is one of the most lethal fighter jets of the Indian Air Force. This jet flies at a speed of 2120 KM per hour. Its range is also 3000 KM. The aircraft will be fitted with the extended air version of BrahMos. The Sukhoi has the ability to strike back directly and accurately at enemy bunkers, bases, camps, tanks, etc. from near or far. It was successfully tested in December last year. This missile has been developed by Sukhoi. But it can be installed in other fighter jets of the country. In future, this missile will also be installed in Mikoyan MiG-29K, light combat aircraft Tejas and Rafale. A new variant of BrahMos is being developed for submarines.
The greatest feature of not being seen by the enemy
The special feature of BrahMos missile is that it is invisible to the enemy. Wind has the ability to change direction. It can also destroy running and moving targets. It can fly at a height of only 10 meters i.e. 33 feet. That means it will not show up on the enemy’s radar. It is almost impossible to kill. There are four naval variants of the BrahMos missile, with an anti-ship variant and a land-attack variant already in service with the Indian Navy. While the anti-ship variant has been successfully tested. A fourth variant includes the land-attack variant.
Where BrahMos missile is deployed, names of warships
Indian Navy has installed a launcher with 8 BrahMos missiles in INS Ranvir – INS Ranvijay. Also INS Teg, INS Tarkash and INS Trikand have similar launcher system installed. Also fit in Shivalik class frigates. Also deployed in Kolkata class destroyers. A successful test has been conducted at INS Visakhapatnam. Nilgiri class frigates are also planned to deploy BrahMos.
Naval version BrahMos extremely powerful and deadly
A ship-launched BrahMos missile can carry 200 kg warheads. The speed of this missile is 4321 km per hour. It has a two-stage propulsion system. First solid and second liquid. The second stage is the ramjet engine. Which gives it supersonic speed.
