I don' t like the Indians having this 'bramhos' with them. Makes them too unpredictable. Remember the time when they did 5 nuke tests under our noses and we learnt it from the BBC first that was major underestimation on our part!
Also if these guys have the super sonic cruise missile which they "jointly" developed with the russians it would mean that they know how to use it as well.
Actually the US considers India as quite a potent force in south east asia and also the Indian navy is only the second most powerful navy in the Indian ocean after the USN which has a base at Diego Garcia just south of India.
Here's a picture of the Indian Brahmos(spelt it wrong the last time!)


Does this look like a cruise missile that can be launched off an airplane?Its huge!
Also the russians have supposedly only developed a 300km range missile for the Indians- I can bet these guys have increased the range to atleast 1000km ! Thats dangerous even if it flies high and can be tracked easily!

This looks very much like the russian "bastion" in the Onyx class of missiles .

I reserched a bit and found out that the Indians only produce the guidence system while the russians produce the actuall rockets themselves! www.translate.ru... va%2Eru%2Frussia%2Fchelomei%2Fp%2F800%2Fbrahmos%2Fbrahmos%2Ehtm
Couldn't understand much from the link as most of the stuff is in russian even after translation!

At the last phase of flight it has a sea-skimming role.

Which makes it vulnerable at boost phase but dangerous in terminal.
