Ajay, no need. I imagine if India wants to foot the bill for an air-launched Brahmos, it will depend on the TU-22 deal.
Even the Brahmos on the Flanker is not easy. It may get there, but it will have to be dependent on a cut-down Brahmos with no solid propellant booster. So you ditch 800kg at best.
As it stands right now, the thing is just too big to put on a fighter. Best for India to seal the TU-22 deal, lose the solid fuel booster, and use the TU-22 as the air-launch platform. Just trying to be realistic...

Let's get back to that, shall we?
