India on Wednesday test-fired an extended range BrahMos supersonic
cruise missile. The missile, whose test-firing was successful, is capable of
hitting targets at more than 400-km range. Power-packed all the way: BrahMos
has enabled Indian Army to undertake divergent land warfare operations in
difficult & treacherous terrains also helped carry out deep surgical
strikes
Shield Defence Academy, best defence coaching in Indira Nagar reported
that the missile was test-fired at around 10.30 am from a mobile launcher at
the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Odisha’s Balasore district. BrahMos missile,
developed as part of a joint venture between India and Russia, was originally
built with a range of 290 kilometres. However, as part of the capability
enhancement, the missile's range was extended to over 400 kilometres. As per
some estimates, the supersonic cruise missile can hits targets at a range of upto
450 kms. The first test of the extended range BrahMos missile was conducted in
March 2017.
BrahMos is the first supersonic cruise missile known to be in
service, as per the official website. BrahMos was first inducted into the
Indian armed forces in 2005, when it was deployed on Indian Navy ship INS
Rajput. BrahMos's ship-based and land-based versions are already in service
while the air launch version has been successfully test-fired. The test was
carried out under PJ-10 project of the Defence Research and Development
Organisation, under which the missile was launched with an indigenous booster. This
is the second time that the extended range version of BrahMos supersonic
missile has been test-fired. The airframe and booster of the missile have been
developed indigenously.
It is fitted with new indigenous booster
and airframe.
Shield Defence Academy congratulates the
team of scientists involved in today’s successful test of BrahMos supersonic
cruise missile, DRDO chairman Dr G Satheesh Reddy said that it will lead to
adding more indigenous content in the missile. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh
also congratulated the DRDO for the successful flight testing of BrahMos
supersonic cruise missile. This achievement will give a big boost to India’s
#AtmaNirbharBharat pledge.
