Indian Missile News And Discussion

[emperor]

To me Brahmos II Size < Brahmos I size completely makes sense.

And the above statement suits with Pillai`s words couple of years back that Brahmos-II will use same launcher.



My take on Brahmos-II hypersonic short-legged cruise missile:



It uses a booster similar to B-I to kick it to high super sonic speeds where the scramjet starts functioning.Since the range is only few miles which is the other side of the pond,It dont need to carry much onboard LH2.A small LH2 tank and an empty tank to contain L)2/Gaseous O2 for further combustion.



When the solid fuelled booster expends the missile will reach near hypersonic regime or high super sonic phase and might have gathered ample O2 needed for further cruising.



If the B-II is moving at ~ 6 Mach i.e ~7350km/h <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> and 290 km travelling will take?????????????? Geeeeezzzzz.....



The enemy will start browning his pants after hearing that B-II got inducted into forces <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
