The KS-172 is lighter than brahmos at 750 KG. IF brahmos can be mounted on various platforms why the KS-172 too? Also 200 su-30 MKI and 100 odd MRCA should be able to carry the KS-172.

Wouldn’t an active radar guidance at terminal stage to ensure impact be more useful. Proximity fuse would only prevent any real damage to the ship??

It is still a ground attack AC not a fighter. It can possibly carry LGB and other smart weapons after upgrade but not air to air missiles like Jag.

Kirov all the way
