BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd, a joint venture between Bharat and Russia, is responsible for producing these supersonic cruise missiles, which can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or land platforms.
In a previous achievement in May, the Indian Navy conducted a successful test launch of a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from the INS Mormugao, the most recent guided missile destroyer in its fleet.
The BrahMos missile travels at a speed of 2.8 Mach, which is nearly three times the speed of sound.
Notably, Bharat is also exporting the BrahMos missiles, with a significant deal finalized in January , last year. Bharat agreed to supply three missile batteries to the Philippines as part of a USD 375 million contract.
