India successfully test fires BrahMos supersonic cruise missile
India today successfully test fired the 290-km range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from the Navy's latest guided missile frigate INS Tarkash off the coast of Goa.
The missile performed the high-level 'C' manoeuvre in the pre-determined flight path and successfully hit the target.
Jointly developed by India and Russia, the BrahMos is capable of carrying a conventional warhead of 300 kg.
India is readying several different versions of the missile, which includes land attack, anti-ship, and submarine- launched versions.
