BRAHMOS is a supersonic cruise missile developed through a joint venture between India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia. The name "BRAHMOS" is derived from two rivers: the Brahmaputra in India and the Moskva in Russia.
Key features of BRAHMOS:
Speed: The missile travels at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0, making it one of the fastest supersonic cruise missiles in the world.
Range and Capability: It has a range of approximately 290-300 km and can be launched from multiple platforms: ships, submarines, aircraft, and land.
The Indian Army adopted the BRAHMOS missile on 21 June 2007, making it a key component in India’s defense capabilities. The missile's speed and precision allow it to engage and destroy high-value targets swiftly.
