  1. Topol SS 27 and SS-N-22 aka sunburn aka Brahmos... by InfinityEdge · · Score: 3, Interesting · on US Missile Shield already Defeated?

    Read up on where the Ruskies have been spending their defense dollars. Functional anti-ABM missiles is very possible.

    Sunburn/moskit/Brahmos http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russi a/moskit.htm

    The 3M82 "Mosquito" missiles have the fastest flying speed among all antiship missiles in today's world. It reaches Mach 3 at a high altitude and its maximum low-altitude speed is M2.2, triple the speed of the American Harpoon. The missile takes only 2 minutes to cover its full range and manufacturers state that 1-2 missiles could incapacitate a destroyer while 1-5 missiles could sink a 20000 ton merchantman. An extended range missile, 9M80E is now available.

    http://www.sinodefence.com/missile/antiship/3m80.a spThe missile is armed with a conventional 300 kg penetrating warhead containing 150 kg of high explosive, or (in the Russian Navy) a 200 kiloton nuclear warhead. Even with a conventional warhead, 3M-80E missile is large enough so that one hit from a single missile could seriously damage or possibly even sink a U.S. Navy major surface combatant, a hit from one or possibly even a few conventionally-armed Moskit missiles might not be enough to halt flight operations on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier because of the carrier's much larger size and its high degree of compartmentalization. A nuclear-armed 3M-80E Moskit, however, could easily destroy a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (and any other nearby ships), even if the warhead detonates at some distance from the carrier.

    http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india /brahmos.htmIndia expects to significantly enhance its long-range strike abilities with the BrahMos cruise missile, jointly developed by New Delhi and Moscow. The supersonic missile -- which derives its name from the Brahmaputra and Moscow rivers in both countries - has a range of almost 300 km and is designed for use with land, sea and aerial platforms. The Indian Air Force (IAF) is reportedly considering the possibility of fitting the BrahMos on its Su-30 combat jets. The production will commence by end of 2003 for induction in the year 2004.

    http://www.hinduonnet.com/2005/04/16/stories/20050 41602941400.htmBrahMos is essentially an anti-ship supersonic cruise missile that flies at a speed of 2.8 to 3 Mach (2.8 to three times the speed of sound). It can take out targets 290 km away.

    http://www.brahmos.com/Brahmos web page SS-27 / Topol-M / RS-12M(1|2) http://www.missilethreat.com/missiles/ss-27_russia .htmlhe Russian SS-27, or Topol-M, is an intercontinental-range, ground-based, solid propellant ballistic missile. It represents the pinnacle of ballistic missile technology, incorporating modern fuel and warhead designs, as well as being capable of being launched from both missile silos and Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) vehicles. Current Russian accounts stress that the SS-27 is invulnerable to any modern anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defenses. Yuriy Solomonov, director of the Moscow Institute of Heat Technology and designer-general of the Topol family of missiles, has stated that the SS-27 will be the foundation of the Russian strategic nuclear arsenal by 2015.

    India has an advanced Cruise missle already. Its called BrahMos. It's faster than the US cruise missle but its range is shorter. Nevertheless its range is sufficient for all its targets.

    Our PARAMs(super computers), Barhmos(supersonic cruise missiles), etc, all denied technologies, give your country strategists sleepless nights and yes they kick-ass in price competitiveness.

    Ah, deshi pride. Lovely to behold. From http://www.brahmos.com/home.html: An Indian-Russian Joint Venture. LOL. Read, "tech brought over from Russia". Really innovative. PARAM. Distributed SPARC arch that was cutting edge 20 years ago and whose sole claim to supercomputer fame was an obsolete DoC/BXA classification. Hey, know what, these days even G5s are supercomputers.

    We have basic healthcare for everyone!

    No shit, sherlock. You don't. You are either an effing liar, or some government propaganda goon made a sucker out of you. Gotta grant you though, even the new PIO ambassador dork wouldn't be able to pass that off with a straight face. Btw, everyone != spoilt brats like you. The day everyone includes the starving tribals in Kalahandi and the landless poor in UP, I'll buy ya a beer.

    And does your 44X have the money to hire a chauffer for the BMW Series 5??? The 44X here can hire one servant for cleaning the house, one to wash the car, one to get groceries for you, one to look after the child(ren). Why do they keep doing such things themselves?

    Because the US believes that human skills have a price. That means maids and chaffeurs are expensive, because we pay them what they're worth, unlike the vast majority of urban Indians who lead cushy lives supported by rural poor who work like slaves and are paid a fucking pittance.

    you have Bill Gates and then the king of all troubles, the junior Bush!

    Gates - ah yes, he who invests large sums so that Indians can live without the scourge of AIDS. The bastard.

    And Bush - LOL, he more than your pussyfooting leaders put the fear of God into Pakistan. It's good to see the BJP appreciate him more than you do, though. I do hope he wins November, though, if only to piss you leftist pansies off some more.

    And yeah, the US has problems. But we at least admit them, unlike you third world hellhole denizens who keep getting into some potladen trip about being in the "best of all possible worlds". Just to keep things balanced, India has done amazing work in services over the past 10 years. But that worked has benefited only a fraction of its population, and hasn't trickled down enough, and even those receiving the benefits are getting nothing like the world standard.

    90% of the current 44Xers had their fathers going to jobs in bicycles at some point. Driving Corollas one generation down was not even dreamt of.

    Aaah. (rummages through one of my old posts which you replied to):
    So yeah, I wouldn't say the educated, qualified, talented Indian -- the 10 grand a year type -- has a great quality of life. But yeah - compared to the life most of these people's parents had, this is heaven; so it's not surprising that they don't see anything wrong with the kind of life they're leading.
    So I guess we're basically agreeing with each other. Nice. Have an excellent day!

    The Brahmos web site has an impressively militant Flash animation. Be the first one in your neighborhood to own your own deterrent.

    Once those things are sold in quantity, sending U.S. Navy carriers to trouble spots will become much riskier.
