does look a bit sus

one might even say AI generated

also the missile hangs way too low to not colide with the ground even when the landing gear is out

you are right, the rudders are somehow splitting in between

Yeah overall if you look at it for a bit there’s a ton of weird stuff and the overall proportions are all off
I hate ai so much

Idk why someone would make ai stuff like this, like idk what is it for?

you kinda expect it when they use renders for 80% of the time

yeah it’s pretty annoying when AI is used when there is absolutely no need.

Example there is this one guy on Twitter postings pics of eastern military equipment but everything he posts he runs through some AI upscale/enhancer so the pics just look like slop.

like I see the pic not realizing it’s him and I zoom in to see some details and realize whatever it said is completely unreadable since it’s been AI “enhanced”

I would like to clear that BrahMos is not just an ASM and can be used for GNSS launches too. It can be used against ground targets and not just Ships.
Sources from its first actual combat use : BrahMos - Wikipedia

I shortened both Air to Surface Missile and Anti Ship Missile as ASM because I’m lazy, but yeah ik

:sob: I just found out that ASM is the term for all surface targets whether the surface is on water or land.

Hmm… maybe just like how Astra Mk1-3… maybe BrahMos A to Block3… :-/

Please +1 for Indian tech tree

ANI, a pretty reputable source, reports possible future integration of RVV BD
https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/india-to-modify-su-30-fighter-jets-to-integrate-them-with-rvv-bd-air-to-air-missiles20260907095931/

Tho i am still very skeptical of this, mainly due to the vague langauge and the fact that mki cant harness the missile fully. Bars M is outranged by the missile itself, plus it cant guide via awacs either since the export variant doesnt have 2 way datalink

The discussion over RVV-BD have been going on for very long. Take it with a pinch of salt as Russia is very interested in selling more weapons to India where it has identified long range Anti Air missiles as one of the laggards in Indian Air Force.
