Since the cruise missile had been launched from near Sirsa, it would have almost certainly been identified by Pakistan's air defence network as a BrahMos air launched cruise missile
The missile earlier had the capability of hitting targets at around 300 kilometers after being released from a Su-30MKI combat aircraft
India's defence export policy did help in accelerating and convincing Manila about the merits of purchasing the BrahMos

Naval version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test-fired yesterday from an indigenously built stealth destroyer. With this, India has now tested 10 missiles in last 2 months
In fact, most of these tests have involved routine firing trials of weapon systems that the DRDO is developing and which are a long way from operational service
India on Wednesday successfully test-fired BrahMos supersonic cruise missile with a strike range of more than 400 km from a base in Odisha, defence sources said
The Air Force had successfully fired BrahMos air version missile from Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft in May
A land-attack version of the missile was test-launched from a mobile autonomous launcher at Launch Pad-3 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur near here at around 8.30 am
India is now the only country in the world to integrate long-range missiles onto fighter jets after the BrahMos missile was test-fired from a Sukhoi 30 aircraft of the Indian Air Force
BrahMos Aerospace CEO and Managing Director Sudhir Mishra said like the supersonic missiles project, there should have been joint ventures between India and Russia in more sectors
BrahMos Aerospace manufactures the supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or land
The army is already equipped with three regiments of Block III version of Brahmos missiles
DRDO confirmed that first test of Brahmos, to extend the range, would be conducted on March 10
