Pakistan will not be capable of stopping BrahMos for 15 years, India will make Super BrahMos in 2 years, it can attack up to 800km?

In 2018, the DRDO successfully tested the BrahMos missile with an indigenous fuel management system and non-metallic airframe components, which now form the basis for an 800-km range variant. At the 2021 MAKS air show in Russia, a defense industry source told TASS that Indian and Russian scientists are working together on this new variant.

Islamabad/New Delhi: India used the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile against Pakistan in Operation Sindoor. Pakistan's Chinese air defense system had no answer to the BrahMos missile. Currently, no air defense system in the world, including Israeli and American ones, is capable of intercepting the BrahMos. Now imagine, if the world lacks the capability to intercept the current BrahMos, to what extent will Pakistan and China be terrified by the more advanced BrahMos?
Indeed, India has taken another major leap towards its strategic power and technological self-reliance. According to a report in The Times of India, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and BrahMos Aerospace have jointly reached the final stages of finalizing the testing of the 800-kilometer range high-supersonic BrahMos cruise missile. This means the new variant of the BrahMos will be operational within the next two years. Then think... if after a few years India starts Operation Sindoor-2, what could be the fate of Pakistan!

BrahMos 2.0 will be operational in the next two years.
This advanced version of the BrahMos could become operational in the next two years, which is significant news. Writing in the EurAsian Times, former Indian Air Force pilot Vijayendra K. Thakur stated that "the missile is being equipped with a modified ramjet engine, improved fuel efficiency, and a modern navigation system." He wrote that "the 800-km range BrahMos is almost ready with its engine modifications. Now, some tests remain to be conducted to test the accuracy and jamming resistance of the INS (Inertial Navigation System) and Global Satellite Navigation System integration." Thakur wrote that this will not only double India's missile range, but will also take India's strategic strike capability to the next level.

Vijayendra K. Thakur writes in the Eurasian Times that the BrahMos missile's journey began with a range of 280 kilometers. During the Aero India exhibition in 2017, then-DRDO chief S. Christopher announced that the missile's range had been increased from 290 km to 450 km. According to BrahMos officials, this increase was made possible by developing the missile's high-altitude cruise capability. Previously, its range was limited to 300 km under Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) limitations. That same year, the DRDO also announced plans to develop an 800-km variant. Optimizing the ramjet engine's performance and reducing weight through the use of composite materials were the primary goals. The missile's external shape and weight will remain unchanged, ensuring it can be fired from existing launch platforms.

How India made BrahMos a lethal missile
In 2018, DRDO successfully tested the BrahMos missile with an indigenous fuel management system and non-metallic airframe components, which now form the basis for a variant with a range of 800 km. At the 2021 MAKS air show in Russia, a defense industry source told TASS that Indian and Russian scientists are working together on a new variant, which includes a new and significantly more powerful booster. Therefore, defense experts believe that Pakistan will not be able to intercept the BrahMos even in the next 15 years, and by that time, India will have developed several more variants of the BrahMos.

In fact, the success of this advanced variant depends on three key improvements: (1) weight reduction through the use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber, (2) a more efficient solid-propellant rocket booster, and (3) a fuel-efficient ramjet engine. DRDO has nearly resolved the first two challenges and is now in the final stages of testing the high-precision navigation system.

Interestingly, India successfully tested the indigenous booster on March 11, 2017, which was later repeated with an improved version in September 2020. Following that test, DRDO confirmed that the missile featured an Indian-made airframe and several other components. This test was considered a major step towards self-reliance in India's defense manufacturing capabilities. Now that the 800-kilometer range variant is nearing completion, it will significantly strengthen India's strategic deterrent. At the same time, most defense experts believe that if there is a conflict with Pakistan sooner or later, then India can launch a precise attack inside Pakistan with BrahMos up to a range of 800 kilometers.
