![]() First of all, this kind of patrol vessel is too small and hardly appear on the radar (using the AN/SPS 55) at horizon's range. Brahmos video downloadīy the way, I use to play a real time naval wargame, and when commanding an FFG-7, my last nightmare is to see some kind of missile patrol vessel like Osa or Molniya-M armed with supersonic missiles like Sunburn! Why? Even if they manage to hit the missile at around 2-3 km range, the debry travelling at 1000 m/sec can do substantial damage to the ship. Its seeker does a single short pulse scan at this range to confirm the target and then switches on at 10 km range.Īs Doc said when Brahmos is fired as salvo, the CIWS will have hard time intercepting the missile. In Hi-Lo trajectory it descends to 10 m height around 40 km from the target. In case of Brahmos, the range is 290 km for a HI-Lo flight and around 120-150 km for LO- HI-Lo flight path. Supersonic missiles also have a lo flight path at the terminal phase. Most of the modern navies have some kind of Air borne early warning capability (fixed wing or Helicopter based such as KA-31) which can detect these missiles much earlier. The assumption that subsonic sea skimming missile can be detected only at 15-20 km range is not entirely right. Lot figures are being thrown around for detection range of anti-missile defence of the ship.
