Indien hat am Donnerstag vor der Küste Odishas in Balasore erfolgreich eine neue Version des Überschall-Marschflugkörpers BrahMos getestet, wie aus Verteidigungskreisen verlautete.

Der Flugkörper sei mit neuen technologischen Entwicklungen ausgestattet, die sich erfolgreich bewährt hätten, so die Quellen.


BrahMos wurde von der indischen DRDO und der russischen NPOM entwickelt und ist ein universelles Langstrecken-Überschall-Marschflugkörpersystem. Er kann vom Land, vom Meer und aus der Luft abgeschossen werden.

Das System wurde in zwei Varianten für den Einsatz gegen Schiffe und für Landangriffe konzipiert. BRAHMOS Weapon Systems ist nach Angaben der DRDO sowohl bei der indischen Marine (IN) als auch bei der indischen Armee (IA) eingeführt und einsatzbereit.

Anfang dieses Monats wurde vom Zerstörer INS Vishakhapatnam der indischen Marine vor der Westküste ein erfolgreicher Test des Überschall-Marschflugkörpers BrahMos durchgeführt.

Die See-zu-See-Variante des Flugkörpers wurde mit maximaler Reichweite abgefeuert und traf das Zielschiff punktgenau.

"Die fortgeschrittene See-zu-See-Variante des BrahMos Supersonic Cruise Missile wurde heute von der INS Visakhapatnam aus getestet. Die Rakete hat das bezeichnete Zielschiff präzise getroffen", teilte die DRDO in einem Tweet mit.

Offenbar ging entweder bei einem Test nach dem Start etwas schief oder aber der ganze Start war unbeabsichtigt - jedenfalls hat Indien anscheinend versehentlich eine BrahMos nach Pakistan geschossen. Kann ja mal passieren...

Accidentally fired missile into Pakistan due to tech glitch, says India. ‘It was BrahMos’

India Friday said malfunction in the ‘course of routine maintenance’ had caused missile to be launched into Pakistan Wednesday. Govt has ordered high-level court of enquiry.

New Delhi: India Friday confirmed that a missile had entered Pakistan from India Wednesday due to “accidental firing” caused by “a technical malfunction” in the “course of routine maintenance”. Sources said this was a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. “On 9 March 2022, in the course of routine maintenance, a technical malfunction led to the accidental firing of a missile. The Government of India has taken a serious view and ordered a high-level court of enquiry,” the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

The MoD added that the missile landed in an area of Pakistan.

“While the incident is deeply regrettable, it is also a matter of relief that there has been no loss of life due to the accident,” it said. Although the defence ministry did not clarify which missile it was, sources in the defence and security establishment said it was the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. [...] While Sirsa, Haryana — from where Pakistan claimed the missile was launched — does not have a BrahMos base, the missile system is operated from specialised trucks and can be moved from one location to the another. Such missile tests usually happen on the Eastern flank and from the Andaman and Nicobar Command.

Philippines to receive Brahmos cruise missiles within the next three years

According to information published by Tass on August 3, 2022, the Russia-India Joint Venture BrahMos Aerospace will deliver BrahMos supersonic antiship cruise missiles to the Philippines within the next three years. [...] It can be launched in either inclined or vertical configuration based on the type of the ship or user requirements. The potential carriers are Frigate, Corvette, Offshore patrol vessels, and any other type of ships.

The BRAHMOS missile has also been tested in vertical configuration from a moving warship. This has proved the missile’s vertical launch capabilities from a moving platform and also that of the Universal Vertical Launcher Module (UVLM), designed and developed by BrahMos.

With 3500 Km Range, India To Strengthen & Modify Its Su-30MKI Fleet With BrahMos Supersonic Missiles

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will increase the number of Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighters that can carry the air-launched version of the BrahMos supersonic missile. According to reports, BrahMos would have a whopping range of 500 kilometers which can be increased up to 1500 kilometers, at par with the best US missiles.

As per the latest media reports citing sources in the Indian defense and security establishment, the IAF had approved plans to modify 40 Su-30MKIs to enable them to operate the BrahMos Air-launched Cruise Missile (ALCM). [...] The Brahmos missile increases the combat range of the Su-30MKI, enabling the IAF to strike targets at long distances. For example, as part of a test in 2020, a Su-30 armed with the air-launched version of the missile took off from a base in Punjab and struck a target in the Indian Ocean.

The target was struck deep in the Indian Ocean, approximately 4,000 kilometers away, which was considered ‘the longest’ mission of this kind.

IAF Su-30MKI test-fires extended Brahmos ALM against sea target

The IAF carried out this test in the Bay of Bengal region, in close coordination with the Indian Navy.

The Indian Air force’s (IAF) Sukhoi Su-30MKI aircraft has conducted test-firing of an extended-range version of Brahmos air-launched missile (ALM) against a ship target. This was announced by the Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) in a media statement. The IAF carried out this test in the Bay of Bengal region, in close coordination with the Indian Navy and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The test was also supported by Brahmos Aerospace (BAPL) and Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL). [...]

Sharing a video of the missile’s test launch, IAF tweeted: “The IAF successfully fired the Extended Range Version of the Brahmos Air Launched missile. Carrying out a precision strike against a Ship target from a Su-30 MKI aircraft in the Bay of Bengal region, the missile achieved the desired mission objectives.”

Die Ausbildung philippinischer Soldaten am BrahMos-System (wobei es hier um die land- bzw. küstengestützte Variante geht) schreitet offenbar zügig voran:

Philippine Personnel Completes BrahMos Anti-Ship Missile System Training

21 Philippine Navy personnel completed the "Operator Training" of the BrahMos Shore Based Anti-Ship Missile System in India. [...] The training that ran from 23 January to 11 February 2023 focused on the operations and maintenance of some of the most important logistics package of the SBASMS (Anm. von mir: Shore Based Anti-Ship Missile System) that will be delivered to the Philippines. [...] The training is a critical package included in the Philippine Navy Shore Based Anti-Ship Missile System Project Contract that was signed by the Philippines and India in 2022.

The said acquisition was viewed as a boost to the Philippine Navy’s capability to defend the country’s maritime borders and will further complement the efforts of the PN surface assets in patrolling the Philippine waters.

Ich wage mal die Aussage, dass dieses System in einem möglichen Konflikt mit China, und bekanntermaßen gibt es ja ein paar "kleinere" Reibungspunkte um einige noch "kleinere" Inseln, für die Philippinen durchaus sehr gewichtig sein dürfte. Es wird hinter den Kulissen auch gemunkelt, dass die USA, die vor dem Hintergrund der chinesischen Ambitionen seit ein paar Jahren eine Annäherung und eine bessere Zusammenarbeit mit Indien anstreben, diesen Deal zwischen den Philippinen und Indien unterstützt bzw. auch finanziell Manila unter die Arme gegriffen haben.

India test-fires extended-range BrahMos on soon-to-be-commissioned destroyer

India has carried out another test fire of its extended-range (ER) BrahMos PJ-10 supersonic cruise missile from a Kolkata/Visakhapatnam (Project 15A/15B)-class guided destroyer, the country's Ministry of Defence (MoD) disclosed on 27 November. The missile was fired from the programme's sixth hull, which will be in service as INS Imphal once it is commissioned. It was fired as part of the vessel's pre-commissioning trials, the ministry added.

India's BrahMos PJ-10 is based on the Yakhont (3M-55E) supersonic cruise missile, which is the export version of Russia's domestic P-800 (3M-55) Oniks. [...] The BrahMos PJ-10 is believed to have a maximum range of in excess of 500 km, which is an improvement over the older variant's estimated range of about 300 km. [...]

Dass die Philippinen den BrahMos erhalten würden, war schon seit 2-3 Jahren im Gespräch, nun wird es langsam Realität - ein Umstand, der China sicher nicht gefallen dürfte...

Philippines Builds First BrahMos Anti-Ship Missile Base Facing South China Sea

From Western Luzon, Manila's new supersonic cruise missiles can hold adversaries at risk up to 290-300 kilometers away. [...]

Manila’s order of the Indian supersonic cruise missiles in 2022 marked a significant milestone in its defense modernization program that aimed to modernize the country’s outdated military amid regional disputes with China. Procured under the Philippine Navy’s Shore-Based Anti-Ship Missile Acquisition Project, the $375 million sale earmarked three batteries of BrahMos missiles and technical support for the system to the Philippine Marine Corps Coastal Defense Regiment. The purchase also marked the first international sale of New Delhi’s missile system, reportedly sparking more international interest in the system by countries in the region such as Vietnam and Indonesia.
