New Delhi, May 15 (KMS): The Indian Navy claimed that it has test-fired a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.
The INS Mormugao, the latest guided-missile Destroyer, successfully hit ‘Bulls Eye’ during her maiden Brahmos Supersonic cruise missile firing, a Navy official claimed.
The ship and her potent weapon, both indigenous, mark another shining symbol of Indian Navy’s firepower at sea, he added.
BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd is an India-Russian joint venture, responsible for producing supersonic cruise missiles that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or land platforms, Indian media reported.
The BrahMos missilesfly at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound, the media report added. The location of the test-firing of the missile is unclear.
Notably, India sealed a $375 million deal with Philippines for supply of three batteries of the missile in January last year.
