Finally, BrahMos-A Flanker Test In March

After years in development and modifications, the Indian Air Force and BrahMos Corp. are finally ready to conduct their first dummy test-firing of a BrahMos-A supersonic cruise missile from a modified Su-30 MKI. Livefist can confirm that BrahMos plans the dummy test-firing in March, and aims to conduct the first live missile test-firing from the same aircraft in the June-July period.
The belly pylon & launcher are currently underdoing final qualification tests. BrahMos Corp. CEO Sudhir Mishra has revealed to a journal that the launcher will then be put through final shock tests before being cleared for the dummy firing in March.
If things go well, it’s going to be a lively March. The Tejas will also be test-firing its first Derby BVRAAM that month.

  1. More smoke and mirrors ! When will these agencies stop peddling snake oil and get down to actually delivering something useful ? The Brahmos-A is just too heavy a missile to be effectively ferried and used in combat. They really need to get their act together on developing and testing the Brahmos-NG rather than wasting tax payer money on modifying the under-carriages of the Sukhois to carry these ALBATROSSES around their necks ! Jeez …give me a break ! A 2.5 tonne cruise missile on a air superiority fighter. You gotta be kidding – no seriously ?

    Bang on target. precisely said. SU-30s cruising on vast arabian seas with just one missile under belly. I dont think our airforce has that much of luxury.
