Hon. Webmaster Saheb,
Is there any operational reason why the Brahmos cannot be deployed in Siachen (say 30-50 in numbers)? Is there a problem the storage of the ramjets liquid fuel (kerosene) at around 6500-7,000 mts? It will further deter the Pak army because even from their forward most deployment, they can't see the glacier. I'm concerned about the lack of artillery and/or CM firepower on the Saltoro Ridge. Also, I've still to get a definitive answer of the effectiveness of FAE's at such altitudes, or even on the Eastern front, owing to the scarceness of O_2. Perhaps it may be possible with a modified design where the FAE is used in combination with something else.
