An advanced version of BrahMos land-attack supersonic cruise missile system was successfully test-fired at the Pokhran field firing range by the Indian Air Force (IAF). The IAF successfully conducted test firing of the supersonic surface-to-surface cruise missile against a designated target situated at Ajasar, approximately 30 to 32 km away from Pokhran test range at 12 pm. The missile was test launched by a Mobile Autonomous Launcher (MAL) deployed in full configuration in Chandan Range Zero Point.
On the occasion, senior officials of Army , Air Force, DRDO and BrahMos Air Space were present. This formidable missile system has empowered all three wings of the armed forces with impeccable anti-ship and land attack capability.
Meanwhile, BrahMos's air-launched version is getting ready to be test-flown from the Su-30MKI fighter aircraft of the IAF in the coming months.
The air-launched version of the world-class weapon system, BrahMos-A, is lighter than its other variants and will weigh 2.5 tonnes, though it would be equally potent in firepower and devastating capability as its range and maximum speed of 290 km and 2.8 Mach respectively will remain unchanged.
The Integration of BrahMos-A with the Su-30MKI will render the missile a multiplatform weapon capability.
