Hi Sniperz11
You have an excellent blog. I've finally gotten round to responding to your Brahmos comment on my blog - I've been away in New Zealand. My reply is:
"Its true Australia wouldn't be pleased if Indonesia possessed such a powerful (future) weapon as the Brahmos. I realize the Sovs (sorry the Russians - run by old KGB stalwarts) would not wish Brahmos technology exported to Australia knowing we would pass it on to the Yanks for examination.
However its good to have a diversity of weapons suppliers.
What Australia may probably hope to fill the hypersonic cruise missile niche is a mature development of the US X-51 http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app4/x-51.html with an expected speed of Mach 4.5!"
I'm putting you on my blogroll list.
Regards
Pete
