BrahMos-II to enter prototype stage in the next 3 years | Speed Mach 8, Range 1,500km

BrahMos-II to enter prototype stage in the next 3 years As per the recent report from India Today, The BrahMos-2 will be a hypersonic missile and will probably have a range of 1,500 km. Trials have put its speed at almost Mach 8, making it the fastest in the world. It is likely to enter the prototype stage in the next three years and series of tests of the missile were conducted at the speed of Mach 6.5. BrahMos-II in 5-6years Last Month, Atul Rane, CEO and MD, BrahMos Aerospace was speaking at an event marking the start of India’s ‘Silver Jubilee Year’ celebration (1998-2023) said that, “BrahMos Aerospace is capable of making hypersonic missiles. In five to six years, we will be able to have our first hypersonic missile by BrahMos”. If we talk about the India’s Hypersonic missile, there are various programs which are being pursued concurrently. These are BrahMos-II, Rudram-3, HSTDV, Shaurya Missile & Hypersonic Glide Vehicle HGV202F. In today’s video we are going to discuss in detail about the BrahMos-II missile. BrahMos-II India has collaborated with Russia on the development of BrahMos II hypersonic cruise missile with maximum speed between Mach 7-8 and range over 1000KM. The BrahMos series is being developed by the BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited, the joint collaboration of India’s DRDO and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM). The same firm has developed Russian Zircon. It’s been said that the Russian Zircon missile technology might be used in Brahmos-II. Russia’s has successfully tested multiple times Zircon hypersonic cruise missile which is good news for India as it will expedite the development of the delayed BrahMos-II hypersonic cruise missile. The BrahMos-II is supposed to be powered by an Air Breathing scramjet engine similar to Zircon missile. Zircon Missile Zircon is believed to be a maneuvering, winged hypersonic cruise missile with a lift-generating center body. A booster stage with solid-fuel engines accelerates it to supersonic speeds, after which a scramjet motor with liquid-fuel in the second stage accelerates it to hypersonic speeds. The missile's range is estimated to be 250 to 500 km at low level, and up to 740 km in a semi-ballistic trajectory;average range is around 400–450 km. The longest possible range is 1,000 km and for this purpose a new fuel was created. Some internet sources even claim the range of missile can reach 1,000 - 2,000 km, depending on the type of target. The high speed of the Zircon likely gives it better target-penetration characteristics than lighter subsonic cruise-missiles, such as Tomahawk. Being twice as heavy and almost eleven times as fast as Tomahawk, the Zircon has more than 242 times the on-cruise kinetic energy of a Tomahawk missile (~9 gigajoules, or equal to 2,150 kg TNT explosive energy). Its Mach 8-9 speed means that it cannot be intercepted by existing missile defence systems and its precision makes it lethal to large targets as aircraft carrier. Why Hypersonic missile is considered lethal? Zircon can travel at a speed of Mach 8 – Mach 9. This has led to concerns that it could penetrate existing naval defense systems. Because it flies at hypersonic speeds within the atmosphere, the air pressure in front of it forms a plasma cloud as it moves. These plasma cloud absorbs the radio waves and making it practically invisible to active radar systems. This phenomenon is called Plasma stealth. With plasma stealth, hypersonic-speed and sea skimming technique, intercepting a flying Zircon is extremely difficult, if at all feasible at the current level of technology. The final section of the trajectory will be overcome in a minimum time (under 10 seconds), the enemy will have no time to respond. ==========WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN============= Most of the pictures clip or BGM included in the Video Belongs to their Respected Owners and we do not claim rights.
