Navy successfully tests land-attack BrahMos supersonic missile

NEW DELHI: In a boost to the precision-strike capability of hitting land targets from the sea, the Navy successfully tested the supersonic BrahMos land-attack cruise missile from a stealth frigate in the Bay of Bengal on Friday.

The BrahMos missile, which last month was tested with an extended range of 450-km from the earlier 290-km, was fired from frigate INS Teg. "The land-attack variant of BrahMos provides Indian warships the capability to precisely neutralize selected targets deep inland, far away from the coast, from stand-off ranges at sea," said an Officer. [...]

Till now, the Navy had equipped over 10 warships with the anti-ship version of the BrahMos missiles, which fly almost three times the speed of sound at Mach 2.8 and have been jointly developed with Russia.
