In India, they declared the intention to sell Russian Federation Perspective Winged Brahmos missiles

The CEO of the manufacturer Aatul Dinkar Rana stressed that the agreement can only happen after the current situation is "over" in Europe. The Indian defense company Brahmos Aerospace has declared its intention to sell Russia's promising winged Brahmos missiles. This was announced by CEO of Atul Dinkar Rane in an exclusive interview with The Week. At the same time, he stressed that this would happen after "the current situation in Europe is over.

" Rana stated that his company was actively studying the Russian market as a potential Brahmos missile buyer. He also emphasized the strategic value of the acquisition of these missiles, especially in the light of the current geopolitical situation. The Brahmos Winged Rocket Rockets include different types: air base missiles, anti-ship missiles, land base missiles, land-land missiles and underwater-based missiles.

These weapons, jointly developed by India and Russia, has been in service since November 2005 and has now been deployed in Indian Land Forces, Navy and Air Force. In addition, recently ordered for these missiles has placed the Marines of the Philippines. Specifications: rocket weight - 3,000 kg, length - 8. 4 m, diameter is 0. 6 m, which provides excellent aerodynamic characteristics. The mass of warheads - up to 300 kg.

Thanks to a powerful engine consisting of a solid fuel rocket accelerator on the first stage and a liquid jet engine in the second stage, Brahmos reaches a maximum speed of 3 Mach (3 700 km/h). One of the key features of Brahmos rocket is its range, which depends on the launch platform. Ship and land variants have a range of more than 500 km, and the air base rocket-450-500 km. The rocket flies at a height of 3-4 m, providing exceptional accuracy and maneuverability.

The flight ceiling reaches a height of 15 km, which allows to overcome various obstacles. The developers claim that Brahmos provides accuracy with a probability of a circular error in 1 m. This is achieved by the navigation system, as well as satellite (Satnav) and the inertial guidance system. At the final stage of the trajectory, an active radar system of self -esteem is switched on, which provides accurate capture of the goal. The cost of Brahmos rocket is about $ 3.
