CX-1 Cruise Missile

Just a thought. This new cruise missile that appears similar to the Brahmos, could it have been born out of a PLA/PLAN development to create something similar to the Brahmos for the purpose of research? Perhaps they have the P-700/P-800 info, and given the fact that the Indian Navy is (or appears to be) devoting a fair portion (?) of their naval strategy around the Brahmos missile, perhaps the PLAN wanted to have something that can simulate the Brahmos capability for research? Researching ways to counter a weapon system on the market? At the end of the day, they (the Chinese) being practical and business minded people, decided to modify that project and offer it for sale on the world stage?

Just suggesting the above for discussion purposes (after all, this is a discussion forum).

That's a possibility but wouldn't a super computer could have done a lot of that early data analyses and testings without it?:confused:

More photos... Some give a better sense of its size. It looks to me to be somewhat over 26 ft. or 8 meters in length.

Seriously guys, i want to see this Missile being paraded on the constitution avenue Islamabad followed by paramedics giving CPR to the Indian ambassador.

Yes I suppose, perhaps I'm just thinking in a more old school mentality. If this CX-1 was originally build for testing some counter measures, how many would have been build, and how much would that have costed!

If they were that concerned with Brahmos, it would have been faster, easier and cheaper to just develop a target drone with minimal range, no warhead or seeker, and just the Brahmos' terminal flight characteristics.

To develop something like this is to start from the very beginning to design a supersonic cruise missile.

Something must have been lost in translation.

I highly doubt this thing is powered by a scramjet >_>
