The Russians have made a Klub fit into a cargo container carried by container carrying "civilian" vessels:

Can't the Indians do the same with the BrahMos and mount the containers on cargo vessels carrying the Indian flag? This is literally a "wolf in sheep's clothing".

The same principle could also serve for the Shourya. with some modifications.

qubit Ji :



You will note that the "Container Vessel" carrying the "Klub Missile System " will then become a Warship and thus cannot Dock at a normal Container Terminal to Load or Discharge its Boxes.



The Technical Term for a Mercantile Cargo Ship carrying Guns or Missiles would be an AMC i.e. Armed Merchant Cruiser, which, is acceptable in the Time of War but not during Peace Time.
