‘WORLD LEADER’ BRAHMOS CONTINUES TO CHART NEWER MILESTONES

The BrahMos Aerospace joint venture (JV) military programme involving two top-notch scientific and technology institutions – India’s DRDO and Russia’s NPOM – has produced a new-age tactical weapon having no parallels in the world. The project, which started in 1998 with an initial capital of $250 million having a 50.5% Indian share and 49.5% Russian share, today has become the most successful Defence JV programme in the world.

The automation systems are inte- grated in a way that allows MANPADS operators to receive target designation information with- out leaving the vehicle. Independent experts believe that the Tor-M2 SAM system could be used as the commanding vehicle for the Taifun-PVO if need be. In this case, the unit incorporating mixed weapons systems will be able to use powerful Tor-M2 radars for aerial surveillance and target designation, while inexpensive MANPADS will be utilised to engage targets. The presence of a large-calibre machine-gun and the ability of using surface- to-air missiles against lightly armoured and unarmoured vehicles could also enable the use of Taifun-PVO vehicles in limited fire support roles. No design features of the chassis are avail- able so far, but an educated guess has it that these will coincide with the Taifun-VDV proto- type, i.e. a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a TAIFUN-PVO: COMBAT highway operating range of over 1,200 km.

All existing MRLs have an order of magnitude longer minimum firing range and are located at consider- able distances from the FEBA. The TOS-1A operates within the combat formation of troops, which reduces the targeting time and increases the efficiency of fire control. These sys- tems are capable of delivering both indirect and direct fire on visible tar- gets almost immediately after their detection. According to Igor Lobov, Director General of Omsktransmash, the TOS- 1A developer and manufacturer, ’the tank chassis provides tactical mobility and a high level of crew protection, and also makes it possible to quickly move to the required firing position and operate in the zone of direct fire contact with the enemy, which no artillery system can do.’ The TOS-1A heavy flamethrower system is in service not only WIDE CAPABILITIES The BM-1 launch vehicle is a 220 mm 24-barrel launcher mounted on a with the Russian Army, but also with the armed forces of tracked chassis.
