"Malfunction" of Brahmos

This incident of a missile crash in Pakistan has created a lot of controversy with many opinions on the subject. After detailed research, this is what I have found out. 

- It was a supersonic cruise missile, not a fighter jet or UAV.

- Air Defense operation center of PAF tracked & monitored the missile from start within the Indian airspace. 

- PAF initiated tactical and technical actions as per SOPs. 

Now let’s start from the launch pad: 

It was launched from Sirsa district western region of Haryana, India. Interestingly from an Indian Air Force base under Western Air Command. Sirsa Air force base is one of the most critical forward bases. It is home to 15 Squadron of IAF with IAF Su-30MKI at the base. 

Now let’s compare the length, speed, structure of the crashed missile with coming BrahMos NG

- Speed of Crashed Missile ✅

Mach 2.5 ended with 3 

Speed of Bhramos speed Mach 3- 3.5

- Distance traveled (33+124+104= 260) ✅

BrahMos-NG (290)

It is important to note it crashed

It is likely test trial of BrahMos-NG (Next Generation) (mini version of BrahMos) from Sukhoi Su-30MKI went wrong. That means it was air-launched, not surface-launched. Moreover, Brahmos NG is half of the size of original Brahmos the now compare the size & structure of both.

It's a failure & Test went wrong for the following reasons:

- Features match with BrahMos NG, Time of the test. 

- BrahMos previously also faced navigation issues, and the guidance system was upgraded. Also Had failure in the final phase.

- This attack posed a serious threat to civil aviation, could have hit the Passenger Plan of Qatar airways, Saudi Airways, Indian airlines traveling at that time in those areas.

- Last week IAF recently postponed largest exercise probably due to the failure of these missiles. There might be other perspectives as well because this unfolded at every critical time recently an Indian navy submarine was detected in Pakistan’s EZZ & forced to surface. Plus, Direction of the missile was towards a sensitive installment. This could be a readiness test. But in both cases. It is a serious violation of international borders, a major threat for civil aviation and the civilian population. This endangered security of civil aviation could have resulted in a major disaster For this India should answer and hold accountable.
