The most credible threat to U.S Navy surface
combatants like destroyers and supercarrier comes from the anti-ship missile. One of the most potent anti-ship missiles
is the Brahmos missile. The BrahMos cruise missile is produced by
India-based BrahMos Aerospace, set up in 1998, and is a joint venture between India’s Defense
Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia. India is an ally of US and Indo-American relationship
has been getting stronger in the last decade. But this is not the case with Russia which
is a rival. In this video Defense Updates, analyzes if
U.S Navy can defend against Brahmos missile? Let’s get in the details. Brahmos weigh in at 3000 kg, has a length
of 8.4 m and diameter of 0.6 m. It has a solid fuel rocket booster for the
first stage and liquid-fueled ramjet for the second stage. Brahmos can be launched from aircraft, land
installations and warships. It is being tested for induction into submarines
also. A hypersonic version of the missile, BrahMos-II,
is also presently under development with a speed of Mach 7-8 to boost aerial fast strike
capability. It is expected to be ready for testing by
2020 Brahmos is currently considered to be one
of a most deadly anti-ship missile. The reason is its unique features. Let’s check them. 1. It has a supersonic speed of Mach 3 or 1 km
per second providing very little time to intercept. 2. Brahmos uses a 300 kg Semi-Armor piercing
warhead and also has very high Kinetic energy since Kinetic energy is directly proportional
to the square of velocity. Brahmos actually has about 9 times the Kinetic
Energy of conventional subsonic missile like Tomahawk. The combined destructive force of massive
warhead and kinetic energy is lethal for even the biggest surface combatants. Brahmas has been known to break ships in half
in several tests. 3. It can perform S maneuvers in final stages
of flight.The missile basically doesn’t move in straight line, making it very hard
to intercept. 4. There are lots of redundancies in the guidance
system – right from the INS, GPS, GLONASS and GAGAN making it hard to jam. 5.The accuracy of around 1 square meter makes
it apt for a precision strike on high-value targets. 6. Russia is a signatory of the MTCR (Missile
Technology Control Regime) and India was not. According to the MTCR guidelines Russia could
not help or jointly develop a missile with a none MTCR nation, whose range is more than
300 KM. This is why Brahmos range had to be limited
below 300 KM initially. But last year India has entered MTCR and both
countries are now working to increase the range to 600 km. The excellent range will enable it to be launched
from standoff distances. The best defense against the Brahmos missile
is to destroy the launch platforms before the missile could be launched. The diverse launch platform makes this task
difficult but not impossible. Once the Brahmos gets launched successfully,
it’s a totally different ball game. The normal procedure is to direct fighter
jets from nearby aircraft carriers towards the incoming missile and shoot it down. But this is not a viable option against Brahmos
because of its Mach 3 speed. US Navy will mainly depend on the onboard
weaponry for defense and there are 3 of those. 1. The Medium range defense is provided by Evolved
Sea Sparrow Missile which is quad packed and has a range of 50 km range. 2. RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile is present
for point defense in U.S supercarrier and not on destroyers. These have a speed of Mach 2 and range of
9 km. 3. Phalanx CIWS is a close-in weapon system is
present for last-ditch defense. It has 3,000 rounds/minute rate of fire and
has a maximum firing range of 3.5 km. For the analysis, we are considering a salvo
of 8 Brahmos, half of what a new generation of Russian frigates carries. There are potentially 2 scenarios. 1. Solitary warship like an Arleigh Burke-class
destroyer is targeted. 2. A U.S Carrier Battle Group is attacked. When a warship is alone and not having AWACS
cover then the BrahMos will be detected at about 35-40 km from the ship when it is in
its sea-skimming terminal phase and on the verge of employing evasive S maneuvers. The warship will have 35 – 40 seconds to react. The 2 layer defense of Arleigh Burke theoretically
be able to defend against all missile but practically it may be able to intercept only
3-4 of the missile. It is highly likely that the warship will
be knocked out. A U.S Carrier Battle Group always has an AWACS
cover and Brahmos will be most likely be detected at around 150 km range. The flotilla will have around 150 seconds
to react. The Carrier Battle Group with multiple destroyer
and frigates travel in such a formation that supercarrier is not directly in the line of
fire. The ships will also be able to coordinate
the defenses. In this case, the outer layer of destroyer(and
frigates) will be able to intercept most of the missiles or could also maneuver to take
hits to protect the supercarrier. Still, it is not impossible that 1-2 may sneak
in and home in on the supercarrier. The 3 layer defense of the supercarrier may
be able to take those out all of those on some occasions and may not on some other. So, it is difficult to predict and results
will vary but the potential of Brahmos can be judged by the fact that few of these launched
in salvo has the capability to challenge multi-billion dollar warships of the U.S Navy.
Don't count India as US ALLY.
I know for a fact the US can destroy these missiles before they reach a ship. The biggest threat to US ships is submarines.
The USA could stop Mach 3-4 missiles. They do tests on missiles of that speed. I've read a report the essm can do it.
ok, comment section is full of with curry missile, ass hole missile, us will bring hell then on India , go get sm toilets first and what not.
Relax… we almost on a verge to have toilet fr every poor, we trying hard to give gud standard of living fr our citizens, plz don't make fun of us, no one is born rich, it's only 70 yrs now that we got independence. we r trying in our best way.
We haven't a single bullet to fire at sm one in first instance.we jst ensuring our deterrence and safety. We will nvr compete with us niether we can.
India have history of peace and fraternity since long ago. So stop speculating nonsence and lets work fr better world fr all.
We are getting full functioning lasers in a few years. I feel safe to say that America can defend against any foreign enemy. But India is our very dear friend and we have their backs against Pakistan and especially China. Not that they would need any help but in case they did you know our phone number. So in the end these missles will probably defend American ships. Thank you INDIA, America loves you very much.
Hey D.U ….. what a POS video… well maybe on a good day it can defend against it and maybe on a bad day it can not.. LOL….WASTE OF TIME VIDEO. GET WISE OK?
Indian expertise from Silicon Valley & White Plains grace
the Indian BrahMos anti-ship missiles
* do "friends" pinch each other jewels ? ? ? no no no no no
I have no problem with India, but SOME Indians are aggressive towards China and Pakistan. They have nukes as well. It doesn't matter how strong India's army is, it will be obliterated in nuclear war with either China or Pakistan. Why don't they find our common enemy such as poverty? Poverty is our common enemy all over the world.
An American I love India and her people and her customs.
'
nah nah nah…
america and india are good allied friends…
too many indiaians are living in here america…
how many americans are living in india…
america is never war anti india…
india is never war anti america…
but famous ussr russia is always want to push push india too much…
shame on ussr russia
Sorry, but this is not very authoritive. It forgets to mention things like the nulka Misssle decoy system in all US Supercarriers and many other ships that reproduce exact multi sensory copies of ships to confuse such systems, so the Missile will see 3 to 5 carriers and have to pick the correct one. Jamming technology will also reduce effectiveness. When you had in Jamming and decoy missiles the odds greatly increase the survivability of US capital ships. I am sure the US has a few toys that no one knows about as well.
No US cant do anything to these missiles, whole navy is just big fat juicy target in the future. But dont worry, US ships works just fine against banana countries they are planning to war with.
He's just HYPOTHETICALLY comparing Brahmos against US defense as they have some of the most sophisticated systems. Everyone doesn't need to be a diplomat in comment section.
Go to the last 25 seconds for the answer.
I'm wondering about how well lasers can shoot down missiles of similar complexity and capability as the Brahmos.
India is partnering with Russians? That's a losing proposition. Of course these missiles can get to our destroyers and maybe an aircraft carrier or two. But we do have defenses that we don't advertise. No matter how fast, you can't penetrate a wall of lead.
Narrator needs to learn how to use plurals properly
Why
Click bait crap you tube is full of it fucking bullshitter
I allwais wondering why not the USA develop a EMP bomb and EMP rockets and surch ? it must be the best thing i can think of as a defence and attack weapon then all the equipment used by the enemy is out of order! Maybe a swarm of small drones could drop emp charges over the area it is
go for i dont know but it dont seem impossible to do!
BrahMos is not for America…..it's for China and Pakistan
Thank you Russia for sharing BRAHMOS technology with India
If you can grasp or understand the mind of an Indian you would be shocked it is one of the most brilliant I have ever seen
USA is not our enemy (An Indian)
8 missiles is only what a four-ship formation of SU-30 could carry.Imagine if a whole squadron took off.Four ships are used for typical TASMO operations not for disabling a whole carrier strike grouo
This is a U.S Intelligence propaganda channel. BEWARE of media programming.
I'd bet you Russia could nail all the USA carrier groups with nukes in about 5 minutes
U.s vs Randia ? 😆😂
Youre talking about u.s The super power
CHINA BETTER TAKE NOTICE!
INDIA IS A FORMIDABLE MILITARY POWER.
Its mainly for high value land & sea tgts 7-800 kms from Indian intl borders , & we know who are mischievious within this range😉😉
The problem with the Brahms missile is it has no range. After 300 miles it’s dead. The U.S. can sit outside the range lobbing tomahawks in.
Soooooo we really dont know shit about %…
Brahmos is very soon going hyper sonic
USA can defend themselves from any missiles?????🖕🏿NOT like in invisible airplanes 1999 shot down by Serbians old antiaircraft system not one more then you can hear from media around but if you go ask Serbians they will tell you different things
Everything is propaganda absolutely everywhere and everything yo see
propaganda propaganda is propaganda propaganda
Brahmos can be launched from su-30 fighter jets, ships subs and land… Launchpad cant be distroyed.. so embrace for impact
Nuclear powered super lasers will blow all existing weapons off the radar and make all abselete.
Indians developed this for Pak and China and also… Russians developed this for their long time friend, the US!
Sukhoi 30 and brahmos alone are destructive and super maneuverable but when brahmos shot from su – 30 , the missile already gets the initial velocity of the plane which is 2 mach and it's own speed 4 mach together makes it around 6.5 mach .
Not only can the US Navy defend against Brahmos easily, next thing is India would be bombed back to pre stone ago in a week.
Brhamos can be increase 3km per second
Us F16 was destroyed by mig21 fighter jet.
… and yet some masked men in a boat rammed a warship.
Who protecte America from India , we will take revenge of 1971😈 , America can save him self by buying S400😸😹
there is no defence against brahmos…. period …
Bro do video on US vs rest of the world !!
Brahmos has vertical dip. No ships can defend this missile
We made this to defend ourselves from terrorist country Pakistan and its father china.
India don't want war. We believe in Peace ☮️
U forgot the avengers
it's for our best friend Pakistan 😀
Deadly secret weapons are being developed in India. India is not arrogant like U.S
India has policy of NFU (no first use) if we are attacked first only then we will retalliate its for defence
India will never use them on USA…we have more Indians in USA than India😂😂😂😂
Brhmos is for China alone. Indian has no other Naval enemy.
ALL YOUR EXCUSES IS BULL!! IN THIS AREA, THE U.S. IS SIMPLY OUT-MANNED AND OUT-GUNNED….CATCH ON BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CATCH UP!! THEFT AMD PROCRASTINATION IS GOING TO LEAD TO THE BURNING OF ROME…..AGAIN!!!! YOUR LEAD SENATORS ARE THE SELLOUTS AND COMMIE TRAITORS…NIXON AND KISSINGER!!! (WHORES,THE BABALYON TYPE) HAS NO PROBLEM SELLING YOU WHEN THIS BITCH WOULD HAVE SOLD"THE GOOD OLE GAL!"……….HIS MOM!!!!!!! SAME WHORES KILLED MY FELLOW-CITIZENS AND FAMILY IN THE. WORLD TRADE CENTER CONTROLLED DEMOLITION CARRIED OUT BY MOSSAD AT THE BEHEST OF THE U.S…..DEEP STATE( ILLUMINATI !THE CIA; THE CFR ETC.) THIS DAMMED WHO'RE WAS BUSCH, THE ANHEISER GERMAN NAZI MOTHERFUCKER LIKE HIS ANCESTORS!!!! FRIENDS OF ADOLF SOCIETY!!!
Brahmos has vertical Dive versions
Man what if India didn't have Brahmos?? We would have been vulnerable 😕😕
Because this missile fly at the altitude of 10 Meter above the sea level so us radar can only detect it at the distance of 18 km so shift has 18 second to take counter-measures
It was wrong awacs can detected
Electrical generators mounted in each of the E-3's 4r engines provide 1 megawatt of electrical power required by the E-3's radars and electronics.[2] Its pulse-Doppler radar (PD) has a range of more than 250 mi (400 km) for low-flying targets at its operating altitude, and the pulse (BTH) radar has a range of approximately 400 mi (650 km) for aircraft flying at medium to high altitudes. The radar, combined with a secondary surveillance radar (SSR) and electronic support measures (ESM), provides a look down capability, to detect, identify, and track low-flying aircraft, while eliminating ground clutter (radar) returns.[2][13][21]
Actually its based on Russian tech india just buying its tech and for developing researching for new generation!
Chandra Gupta Thought Indians Not To Attack, But How To Defend! 🚩💪🙏❣️
Israeli Barak 8 can stop Brahmos.
Why tf india attack US ? US is the primary source for bobs and vagene .
The next war can be between China and America.Because the country is not in the whole universe more calm than India.🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳China seems to be ending According to the prophecies of Nostradamus
What if awacs killer is launched first to destroy the awacs and then brahmos ? Will it still be able to intercept brahmos ?
WTF are you talking about? We all know American missile defenses can't hit jack shit. When for instance did the PAC-3 ever, as in EVER, successfully destroyed an incoming target?
Its not for our allie america.that is for china paxtan
Once the hypersonic version this missile is made….
then Pakistan will not even able to see when it is launched…😅
they will know when this missile is actually entered in Pakistan🤣🤣🤣🤣
India didn't make it nor collaborate with Russia.
Russia made the missiles earlier on, the name of which I don't remember but can be found online, and India used its derivative.
you put that scary music in background!
oh come on we indian are not monster the way you put that scary music.
BRAHMOS ( 🇮🇳 & 🇷🇺)
.

.

That's why 🇮🇳 ♥ 🇷🇺
Btw 🇮🇳 believes on Tit for Tat
India is a terrorist like Pakistan and china… Pakistan china or india all of them are same. India does wrong thing to its weak neighbours like Bangladesh and Nepal.
Indian missile are very intelligent they hit back to place, they are launched. And then their lair media shows them dreams of success.. hahahaha…
It's only for China
Its a toy for US. Do some work, dont waste time to compare with US. 24 ×7 our media channels are even not having time other than comparing with Pak and China.
The second generation of these missiles will be a pain in the ass
We develop such tech for our lovely neighbours like pak and china not for the us pak is dead if it attacks india and if china attacks india both the countries are destroyed. India is catching up and soon will surpass china pak was always behind and will stay behind
It has an frontal RCS of 0.1 & in sea, it will fly up 3mtrs from surface so it's impossible to detect it before 50 kms .
Proud to be Owner of The Fastest missile in the world:-Brahmos
Hypothetical video. India and US are allies with pro-democracy. Brahmos never built for US..
Glad that the US and India are allies!
Not for US
Accept it or not …even if the ratio is 1:3 , one carrier and three brahmos, its game over for the warship.
Can any aircraft in the world sustain a speed of 7-8 mach …i have serious doubts…
We should sold some of Brahmos missile to Vietnam ,Taiwan,phillipines Brunei ,Vietnam n other southeast countries
We are coming with hypersonic in 2020 for our sweet neibours
Anyone remember GI Joe's and the type of weapons they had they had these rockets that fired off into a spiral like movement think it wouldn't be a bad idea to get some ideas from the cartoon lol they had some pretty awesome weapons for a cartoon like that lol
India's 'potential ' enemies are usa china pak. I don't think in near future either of them will be happy from it's progress
Anyone has video of Brahmos doing whatever S or dipping maneuvers before exploding onto target? I remembered India claimed that its moonlander has "soft landed" on the moon, though NASA clarified it couldn't even spot wreckage at alleged landing location. Another high level hoax?
My country (Philippines🇵🇭) is planning to buy this missiles, so if American ships may have difficulty in encountering it if they encounter it. I don't know if the Chinese ships can handle it 😅
Carrier will be dead if brahmos locked and lunched…🔥….that's why it's deadly….
Brahmos 2 is upcoming soon
There is no such thing as 100% protection, either defensively or offensively. In other words or in short, out of 10 missiles fired and only 1 got through offensively, that's only 10% effectiveness while it's 90% effectiveness defensively. Nonetheless, that $3 Million, 1 supersonic (Mach 3) Brahmos I missile is enough to create havoc to a ship even as big as an aircraft carrier that costs several thousand times more! Imagine what the upcoming hypersonic (Mach 8, 2020 testing) Brahmos II can do? Think again. 🙂
Dont make this type of video .India make this weapon for its protection not to attack another country.India is very very very peacefull country
Ho-hum. Can't beat lasers.
Almost all armed forces have similar weapons in their arsenal. India must go advanced in Kali 10,000 or more so as not to be dependent on arms logistics especially in the mountainous area bordering China and Pakistan. India must go advanced in Robotics Sniper and Grenade Launchers to guard its borders . India must go for decoy's of battle tanks, artillery guns and shelter areas to deceive the enemies and to lure or confuse the enemies (Remember WW 2). Since most armies have satellite's and GPS snooping down on India , therefore it is only best to apply decoy tactics.
Yes good educative video.
I'm an Indian and I can tell with confidence that India is a peace loving country. We don't want to interfere with attack any country.We are against terrorism and not a nation. Brahmos is our pride indeed but it is for our defence only
E/A-18E Growler & F-35 Lightning 2 can disable this missle easily by Laser Beam System. United States always have answer to anything. I don't know about China but i think they saw this video & they working on it.
India developed brahmos missile for his enemy Pakistan and China.
Enhancements to hypersonic weapons guided by satellites will make surface ships easy targets.
india america❤❤❤
