Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully tested the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. This achievement illustrates the IAF's expanding capabilities in strengthening India's military capabilities.
The BrahMos missile, noted for its supersonic speed and precision, was fired from a Sukhoi fighter jet, demonstrating the IAF's capacity to deploy long-range BrahMos cruise missiles.
This successful test represents a big step forward in India's defense capability.
«The BrahMos air-launched missile was fired from a Su-30MKI fighter jet in the last few days,» defense officials said according to a TOI report. The aircraft took off with the missile from a southern peninsula air base and went almost 1,500 kilometers to effectively attack a target from a wider range than before."
This air-launched missile is a longer-range variant of the already formidable supersonic weapon system, and it represents a one-of-a-kind collaboration between India and the Russian military sector.
In addition to this achievement, the Indian Air Force has recently conducted two successful trials of the land attack missile system, demonstrating impressive precision in hitting their designated targets.
These achievements highlight the IAF's dedication to enhancing its offensive and defensive capabilities, contributing to the nation's security.
Furthermore, India is actively exporting these advanced BrahMos missiles to friendly nations, including the Philippines. These missiles will be deployed for coastal defense purposes in these allied countries, fostering international cooperation in defense technologies.
The BrahMos missile is highly versatile, capable of being launched from a range of platforms, including fighter jets, submarines, ships, and land-based
