According to reports, BRAHMOS supersonic cruise missile featuring Indian propulsion system, airframe, power supply and other major indigenous components, was test-fired in the morning hours.
Reportedly, the missile, with a strike range of 290km, can be fired from land as well as sea-based platforms.
With this successful mission, the indigenous content in the formidable weapon has reached a high value, thus bolstering India’s defence indigenisation and the flagship ‘Make in India’ programme.
