BrahMOS Supersonic Cruise and Sukhoi Su-30MKI on display at 8th defence expo 2014, New Delhi.
BrahMOS showcasing its supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from different platforms based on land, sea, sub-sea and air against sea and land targets.
The missile is launched from a canister, which also acts as storage cum transportation container. Supersonic cruise missile has many advantages such as long flight range with supersonic speed all through the flight, shorter flight time leading to lower target dispersion and quicker engagement, wide range of flight trajectories and greater effectiveness against ship defences.
The Sukhoi Su-30MKI (NATO reporting name: Flanker-H) is a supermaneuverable air superiority fighter developed by Russia's Sukhoi and assembled under licence by India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF). A variant of the Sukhoi Su-30, it is a heavy, all-weather, long-range fighter.
Development of the variant started after India signed a deal with Russia in 2000 to manufacture 140 Su-30 fighter jets. The first Russian-made Su-30MKI variant was accepted into the Indian Air Force in 2002, while the first indigenously assembled Su-30MKI entered service with the IAF in 2004. In 2007, the IAF ordered 40 additional MKIs. The IAF had 194 Su-30MKIs in service as of March 2013; it plans to have a fleet of 272. The Su-30MKI is expected to form the backbone of the Indian Air Force's fighter fleet to 2020 and beyond.
The aircraft is tailor-made for Indian specifications and integrates Indian systems and avionics as well as French and Israeli subsystems. It has abilities similar to the Sukhoi Su-35 with which it shares many features and components.
