Let us enjoy the news little bitWe all know the difficulties and downsides of liquid fuelled missiles. Shelf-life, preparation before launching, stocking of missile are not as easily tackled as solid fuelled missiles.
Brahmos on the other hand is a liquid fuelled Ramjet engined missile with a solid fuelled discardable booster stage.
Yet Meteor has an integrated solid fuelled nozzle-less booster stage which helps missile reach the required initial speed for solid fuelled Ramjet to kick in.
I wonder if Tubitak Sage was already developing a solid fuelled Ramjet in secrecy and Hulusi Akar let the cat out?
Hell how many details in defense industry, real rocket science.
Anyway first step is more precious than following ones.
