SMASH SLBM Testing - Nov 2025

[Vapnope]

The missile was fired from the Pakistan Navy’s most advanced Type 054A/P frigate, PNS TIPPU SULTAN (F-280), and successfully validated a full spectrum of mission parameters including cold-launch ejection from a universal vertical launch system (UVLS), accurate mid-course guidance updates, autonomous terminal-phase manoeuvring, and a steep-angle hypersonic re-entry exceeding Mach 8 before achieving a direct kinetic kill on its intended target.

Whattt??

8-16 BrahMos is alot more than what we can bring to the fight.

Also, i mean barak has demonstrated combat interceptions of smash type missiles before, so its not anything unreasonable

Was referring to the number of baraks in IN. Yes the number of brahmos in IN is frankly terrifying the number of proper AD is kinda laughable in comparison. 32 baraks for however potent they may be can be easily saturated by drones and CMs leaving even fewer so chances of them then being able to take on a decent number of SMASH go down with them. The us struggled to fight houthis with many more and much more potent missiles. With some proper planning you can very easily force the IN to turn back long before they get into a brahmos firing solution by simply depleting their AD capabilities such that they have to return home. PN has many of the same shortcomings in this regard but we will have better air and shore based AD cover.

re read it.

Israeli AD was extremely successful in its defense.

Against SMASH-type targets? Somehow I doubt that.

Laughable honestly

Hello sir

This is purported to be the CM400AKG used in the recent conflict:

Have you come across this footage? Or, do you know anything about it's veracity?

"Oh teri.." is a common saying used to describe a sense of shock or amazement.

No, that isn't CM400AKG, I think that's actually Brahmos.

No, that isn't CM400AKG, I think that's actually Brahmos.

Nope, all Brahmos attacks happened in daylight 10th of may.

Against SMASH-type targets? Somehow I doubt that.

Israeli origin Barak-8 of Azerbaijan successfully intercepted Multiple Russian Iskander-M (500km ranger Tactical Ballistic Missile)
So Barak-8 is quite capable of intercepting ballistic threats.

Israeli defence system shot down Russian missile Armenia fired at Baku

Russia urged Yerevan to fire rocket at Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict's final days as Moscow pushed for a ceasefire

Care to explain what you want to say? Anyone knows, the CM-400AKG is a ballistic missile or do you want to tell us it is a cruise missile? Why should I google or search in Wiki?

Bother yourself and google it. I wonder why you react like a kid.

CM-400 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Naming a marketed military hardware has a meaning.

CM = cruise missile
BM = ballistic missile

Nope, all Brahmos attacks happened in daylight 10th of may.

Are you sure about that? The missile in that video is flying a nap of the earth flight profile at high speed, similar to what a land launched brahmos would do. The CM400AKG doesn't fly like that, it would follow a ballistic trajectory.

 

[Liquidator]

No, that isn't CM400AKG, I think that's actually Brahmos.

Please do not spread rumours.

Please indicate where exactly that was sighted to be brahmos

If you take Google and wiki as the gospel truth, then that's you're prerogative, but I'd suggest you look a little more into it.

Hey - no worries! All good. Thanks for the clarification

Please tell me exactly where it was sighted to be CM400AkG? All we have is a video and a claim from someone online. Can you visually identify it as the CM400AKG?
