We could have won a couple of wars with the amount of Brahmos expended through "trials".
Nice, but how do they do the targeting?
No specific targetting pod AFAIK. I guess the missile itself has a missile-as-sensor that is used similar to Kh-31P and Rudram-1.
Of course, these missiles do have their own homing sensor. But intitial geolocation of SAM sites has to be done by specialised ESM pod, no? See for exmaple F-16CJ or Growler. Rafale, Gripen can also do that using their built in EW suite and networking as far as I read.
If they can integrate this one with Rafale, (upcoming ones) that is going to be an important step for IAF in SEAD/DEAD capability.
