Good article.

 

http://in.rbth.com/blogs/2015/04/20/why_the_brahmos_armed_sukhoi_is_bad_news_for_indias_enemies_42687

 

air launched nuclear ballastic missile from a highly survivable 4.5 gen fighter..SFC to get 42 of these, this is most potent. India can destroy whole missile complexes/ launch silos and storage bases etc. Even a country the size of China can only have 10-15 such spots..if Brhamos m2 is successful then it will get integrated into mig29kub's then add 2 more squads to the alredy existing 2 squads of SFC. thats 4 whole squads of ballestic missiles with very high to extreme kinetic ability and accuracy. India would be able to take out Diego Garcia if it wanted to lol.
