Russia may participate in the joint development of BrahMos-2 · 2008-10-06 16:36
Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation will participate in the joint development of a new cruise missile with India only if a decision is made to adopt it for service with the Russian Air Force.
"Our participation will be certain only if we receive an official request to equip Russian fighters, the Su-MKI in particular, with these missiles," said UAC president Alexey Fyodorov.
Russia and India announced in September plans to jointly develop a new BrahMos-2 hypersonic cruise missile.
At present, BrahMos Aerospace, a joint Indian-Russian venture, produces and markets BrahMos supersonic missiles, whose sea-based and land-based versions have been successfully tested and put into service with the Indian army and navy.
The head of BrahMos Aerospace, Sivathanu Pillai, earlier said that the company had finished the development of the airborne version of the BrahMos missile and the Indian air force had chosen the SU-30 MKI Flanker-H multirole fighter as a trial platform for the missile.
The BrahMos missile has a range of 290 km and can carry a conventional warhead of up to 300 kg. It can hit ground targets flying at an altitude as low as 10 meters and has a top speed of Mach 2.8, which is about three times faster than the U.S.-made subsonic Tomahawk cruise missile RIA Novosti reports.
