How India Hit It Out Of The Park With Legendary Brahmos Cruise Missile | In Our Defence, S02, Ep 21

In this episode, host Dev Goswami and defence enthusiast Shiv Aroor delve into the cutting-edge advancements in India's missile programs and the coveted missile technology programs at large. They examine two significant tests: the successful launch of the indigenous Nirbhay cruise missile and a new variant of the Medium-Range Ballistic Missile, both of which showcase India's technological prowess.
Why is the Nirbhay test off Odisha's coast a monumental achievement for India?
Why is exporting homemade BrahMos, India's iconic missile, to the Philippines a significant development? BrahMos is gaining traction and making a resounding impact in international markets, including Southeast Asia and Africa. Some countries in West Asia have also expressed keen interest. This global interest in BrahMos is a testament to India's growing influence in defence technology, sparking intrigue and awareness among our audience.
Listen in to know more about India's growing prowess in missile technology.

Three caveats:- 1) Shaurya , Agni-P, Pralay are quasi ballistic missiles. 2) Modified Agni-III, Agni-IV, Agni-V may be ballistic in nature but they don't follow predictable ballistic parabolic path after re-entry. 3) All Indian SLBMs follow the same characteristics as missiles of point (2) referred above.

Nirbhay vs bramhos 1. Cost and range. 2. Land target don't have so much ad As much as ship. 3. Nukes fail safe mechanism r not garunteed aginst such high speed. Extreme acceleration and heat..pressure built up. But these can be overcome

[@abhijitsoman3116]

Shiv Sir, there appears to be a lot of confusion in our mind. You are comparing RAM Jet engine with a Jet engine. These are two quite different systems. RAM jets don’t have moving parts and a Jet engine (or a turbofan Jet) has several moving parts. The complexity begins with “METALLURGY” of turbine blades and it’s dynamic balance when it’s rotating with superfast speed inside. I think India is struggling with stable performance of turbine engine that can produce enough thrust. Otherwise, we already have developed Kaveri engine which is a Gas Turbine Engine.

[@braddbradd5671]

News from today says India have developed new alloys for the fins of jet engines so now that basically means they can make there own super sonic jet engines .This is the last jigsaw in the jet engine puzzle that India needed

[@jayakumarpaliyath]

Very good programme, appreciate both of you

[@michaelburman8059]

Loved the episode

[@sb9060]

First point of suitability of Nirbhay vizaviz Bhramos- Nirbhay is way cheaper than Bhramos.

[@varoonshekhar4023]

It's by all accounts a very good missile, unique, or at least very rare. It's definitely been a success

[@Olive_Chap]

main issue with Bhramos is we can't fit it into our 21inch torpedo tubes & to put it on Tejas MK1a or MK2 is nightmare in term of maneuverability for the delivery platform.. hence we need JASM or Storm Shadow like missile which we could even fit into our AMCA weapon bay & ITCM advantage is comparatively cheap missile which could also be put into torpedo tubes of our subs

[@draloksharma]

A sweet happy podcast

[@psvasu23]

The BrahMos was developed from Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) P-800 Oniks family of cruise missiles, through a joint venture between NPOM and India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), named BrahMos Aerospace.

[@thedroidbha]

India really needs to focus on engines of all types. We're far far lagging behind in various types (jets, turbofans, missiles, ship, electric, diesel, tanks etc etc) of engine manufacturing.

[@BalancetheKeyinanyargument]

Hey Shiv & Dev ( kinda a bit curiosu if the naming was planned or the jodi was planned names wise :) ) ! But either ways you guys do a wonderful job , the only podcast I follow religiously is this . Kuods , fantastic discussions .. My 2 cents on possible Topic for future discussions : 1. Indian Navy growth and Construction of force , sub surface or above surface - is the 3rd Carrier coming ? hows our submarine force doing and how well will we fare vis-a-vis Pak china ( elephant in room) are we covered for our horn of Africa to mallaca starit responsibility , how are plans for our various bases going , do we plan to allow and keep quiet on the "research ships" of china coming up whenever they wish and observer our missile tests? 2. Indian army Guns - both small arms and big guns - ATAGS, DHanush , and other Vajra .. hows that cooing up ? is the Arjun just a placeholder or will it actually see more use and more volume production instead of token 100 now 100 then orders ( Our current tank force needs are 1000+ tanks - T90's make the buk ) - whats being done about the extra weight on it?

[@chadbernard2641]

I am going to assume he doesn't know that Zircon missiles are in service and have been used in Ukraine and have be measured at Mach 9+ powered flight from beginning to end. Also oniks and bramhos almost identical and new oniks has 800km range. Bramhos is a great missile though.

[@shalikmnongbri]

Amazingly informative podcast as always.. how @ShivAroor came back with the acronym MTCR just a min after missing it and saying "I'll get it in a moment" 23:53 was just "badam kha lo supremacy" 💀 Have we ever done a podcast on the IAF's TACDE unit ? If not, it'll be a great session I believe..

Bramohs speed Mach 3. That I 1km per second. 300km will be 5 minutes. Take acceleration course correction etc. 300km is abt 6 minutes. Enemy radar can detect it at abt 25 km.. gvinng hardly 30 seconds for enemy to detect, track, and fir country missile.

My doubt regarding Brahmos is, since it's a joint project by India and Russia, does India have the resources to manufacture it on its own and ensure timely delivery? Do we still have a significant dependence on Russia to produce Brahmos?

[@sharthakghosh970]

No the Russians refused to help with the air launched version, because they didn't want to go ahead with it. Infact they said they won't be supporting the Sukhois if India went through with it.

[@psvasu23]

The important point missed out here while comparing cruise missiles and ballistic missiles is not just being sexier as described here...! Both have entirely different mission objectives. Ballistic missiles have a larger payload & range capability than current generation cruise missiles. For short range warfare , cruise missiles are ideal given their stealth Nature.

Whenever India has been pragmatic to collaborate, we have been very successful. Brahmos, LRSAM(Barak), Prachand, Tejas(Engine). You leave everything to the DRDO babus without oversight, they are sure to mess it up! Edit : Missile program was successful due to ISRO. People forget, Dr. K was imported from ISRO for this project!

[@shivanshwadhwani4417]

yeah but you also have to be able to test systems across weather conditions. If you aren't testing because of heavy clouds then well what if there's clouds during wartime and your missiles fail. But if you test with clouds and heavy rain then you see where you fail to collect data and make it full-proof and fully-tested, not partially tested only in ceertain ideal weather conditions.

[@gaurav2k]

Has india started mass producing these missiles to be ready for eventualities?

[@chitchatter-ib4fl]

India needs to build an engine with radically new technology. doesn't need to copy cat what is already out there. This will impact other industries as well.

[@honestpetvideos9307]

I disagree with shiv on the point of nirbhay only being used for land attack , and mostly nuclear.. Cost of brahmos is much higher than nirbhay and to hit a ship you are using supersonic missile only is an idea of contention, itcm will become our main stay for navy along with brahmos .. We are going to increase the number of vertical launchers in our future destroyers and most of them will contain subsonic cruise missile along with brahmos and barak air defense

We are talking about these missiles and war machines we have. Just move away and think for a while that a tiny place like Gaza has withstood the might of the world now lasting nearly 200 days. With huge improvements in Pakistan's Turkish and now Iranian drone and fighter jet capability, thanks to our trading friend China, another Balakot would be a disaster. Last time the Americans managed to persuade Pakistan not to go ahead with their massive retaliation plan after the Balakot attack. We may not be so lucky this time. Unless we have the Israeli Iron dome defense system, we may not be so safe after all. This is the reality.

This fellow attributes his nonsensical fantasies to other nation states motivations 😀 Too much jingoism, and jargon and too little substance... of course, the young 'nationalistic' crowd gets drawn by that. All cruise by definition are subsonic, The Tomahawk is battle tested since the Gulf war and the most successful program. All of the Indian missiles are not battle tested, and probably never will be. India ought to focus more or regular military hardware viz., Shells, Guns, Artillery. Rocket systems, Radar systems.
