India successfully test-fires supersonic BrahMos missile

Date:

India successfully test-fired supersonic cruise missile BrahMos from a base in Odisha’s Chandipur on Tuesday (December 17), defence sources said.

The land-attack version of BrahMos missile was test-fired from a mobile launcher at Launch Complex-3 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) and the surface-to-surface missile succeeded in hitting the given target.

BrahMos is the fastest supersonic cruise missile and it can be launched from submarines, ships, fighter jets or land. The missile is a joint venture between India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) of Russia.

Indian Air Force (IAF) said that Tuesday’s test-firing was the third such live launch of the weapon and with this launch the integration of the missile on Su-30MKI aircraft is complete.

On October 21 and 22, 2019, IAF had test-fired two BrahMos surface-to-surface supersonic cruise missiles as part of routine operational training. The missiles were fired from Trak Island in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago.
