NEW DELHI:
The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test fired from a Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jet from an unknown location on Wednesday.
It is a historic achievement for India as this was the first time that the missile was successfully flight-tested from the fighter aircraft against a sea-based target. The missile was gravity dropped from Su-30MKI fighter jet and the two-stage missile immediately headed for its target at the Bay of Bengal. The success of the maiden test firing will significantly bolster the IAFs air combat capabilities from stand-off ranges. The Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman congratulated the DRDO and IAF on successfully test firing the BrahMos missile.
The missile weighs 2.5 tons and is the heaviest weapon to be deployed on the Su-30MKI aircraft modified by HAL to carry weapons. Brahmos, the world-class weapon with multi-platform, multi-mission role is now capable of being launched from land, sea and air, completing the tactical cruise missile triad for India. Brahmos is a joint venture between DRDO of India and NPOM of Russia.
