Horses for courses. Helos and aircraft will find it difficult – if not impossible – to handle a Brahmos-class missile, but that doesn’t mean such a weapon is useless altogether, other platforms (like large surface ships) will have no issues.

What you’re saying is that the PzH2000 artillery piece is irrelevant because Germany also builds the G36 assault rifle :rolleyes:

Not at all. But supersonics are portrayed as instant death for surface combatants and yet REAL Pussers and other Naval warfare officers who train AGAINST these threats are not as concerned by them as the fanboys who like to portray these missiles as invincible simply because they are fast…

Low and slow may not be as “sexy” as something going Mach 4 and lighting up the sky with an enormous thermal bloom, but they sure scare the hell out of people who may be at risk from them…

Ask the Israelis…
