Yes. A tornado is not a solid object; it is mostly air. However, the violent winds would likely throw the missile off course.

Some researchers have attempted to fire instruments into tornadoes on missiles, but failed as the light missiles were tossed aside by the wind. It was suggested that a heavier missile would have better luck, but the researchers on the project could not get approval to use one.

Other than for research there would be little use in firing a missile into a tornado, as any explosive strong enough to possibly disrupt a tornado would only cause more damage.

No, a missile cannot penetrate a tornado. Tornadoes are powerful natural phenomena with rapidly rotating winds that can reach speeds of over 300 mph, making it extremely difficult for any man-made object to penetrate them. Additionally, a tornado's unpredictable movement and variable wind speeds would make it nearly impossible for a missile to target and successfully penetrate it.

Which is best missile babur or brahmos?

Although BrahMos is an anti-ship missile, it has the capability to engage land based targets. The missile can be launched either in a vertical or inclined position and is capable of covering targets over a 360 degree horizon. The BrahMos missile has identical configuration for land, sea and subsea platforms. The air-launched version has a smaller booster and additional tail fins for added stability during launch. Babur is capable of carrying either conventional or nuclear warheads and has a reported range of 500 km (310 miles). It is reported that it can hit its target with "pinpoint accuracy" and can be fired from warships, submarines and fighter jets. It is designed to avoid radar detection and penetrate undetected through a defensive system. The cruise missile is a terrain hugging missile and it has up-to-date navigation and guidance system and a high degree of manoeuvrability. u answer after reading this.
