In response to a possible "two-front war with China and Pakistan," the Indian Navy has low-key equipped with the Israeli-made supersonic missile "Fury", which is also the first time that the missile has been exported overseas. According to the recent appearance of the global *** on social **, the Indian Navy has carried the "Fury" missiles produced in Israel on the MiG-29 carrier-based fighter jet. The missile, an air-to-surface precision-guided high-speed**, debuted in 2018 with a range of about 160 kilometers and can strike outside the standpoint. In fact, the "Fury" missile is an air-to-surface missile improved from the long-range guided rocket EXTRA, and it may also be the only air-to-surface missile adapted from a large-caliber rocket so far. The Israeli side said that the biggest selling point of this missile is that it is cheaper and faster, and can reach about 1Mach 6.

At the same time, it is suitable for almost all *** jet fighters, whether it is the MiG-29, Su-30-MKI, the Typhoon in Europe, or the F-15 Hawk fighter and F A-18E F "Super Hornet" of the US military, which can be equipped with "Fury" after modification. The "theater" of the United States even speculates that because it has a certain electronic warfare resistance capability, the Indian side may consider using it to make up for its own shortcomings and better deal with the superiority of China and Pakistan in electronic warfare. In addition, in addition to the MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft, there is unconfirmed information that the Su-30MKI of the Indian Air Force is also being equipped with such missiles.

Considering Israel's claim that it used a "berserk" air-to-surface missile in a 2019 airstrike on an air base near the Syrian city of Masyaf, destroying a large hangar and three nearby buildings, India may want to use the missile against China's powerful air defense system, as well as stationary targets such as command centers, communication nodes, military bases, and airfields near the border. For India, it is a low-cost and efficient option. It seems that India's sudden low-profile armament of such missiles seems to be preparing for a possible war with China and Pakistan. However, their idea of equipment still reveals a strong "Indian-style" unbelievable. First of all, this purchase by India may have inadvertently punctured its superiority.

India and Russia have teamed up to develop a supersonic missile called BrahMos, an achievement that India has always been proud of, and they plan to export it to several countries, including the Philippines. According to the Indian side, "BrahMos" can be launched on land, air and carrier-based platforms at speeds up to 2Mach 8 to 3 with a range of up to 290 km. Although on the surface, the functions of the "BrahMos" and "Fury" missiles overlap, the actual data shows that the "BrahMos" has better performance than the "Fury". In addition, "BrahMos" has been localized, and it is more suitable for the Indian military than "Berserk" in terms of procurement cost and adaptation. However, despite this, India is still low-key and "furious", which may mean that India is not as strong as it appears to be about its own "BrahMos". In fact, these ostentations may not even be believed by India itself.

In addition, India's self-developed "Tejal" carrier-based aircraft is also undergoing take-off and landing tests on aircraft carriers. Now they are again armed with Israeli missiles. It is hard to imagine the complexity of the Indian Navy's aircraft carrier logistics department.
