(Waffe) BrahMos

[Schneemann]

Offenbar ging entweder bei einem Test nach dem Start etwas schief oder aber der ganze Start war unbeabsichtigt - jedenfalls hat Indien anscheinend versehentlich eine BrahMos nach Pakistan geschossen. Kann ja mal passieren...

Accidentally fired missile into Pakistan due to tech glitch, says India. ‘It was BrahMos’

India Friday said malfunction in the ‘course of routine maintenance’ had caused missile to be launched into Pakistan Wednesday. Govt has ordered high-level court of enquiry.

New Delhi: India Friday confirmed that a missile had entered Pakistan from India Wednesday due to “accidental firing” caused by “a technical malfunction” in the “course of routine maintenance”. Sources said this was a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. “On 9 March 2022, in the course of routine maintenance, a technical malfunction led to the accidental firing of a missile. The Government of India has taken a serious view and ordered a high-level court of enquiry,” the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

The MoD added that the missile landed in an area of Pakistan.

“While the incident is deeply regrettable, it is also a matter of relief that there has been no loss of life due to the accident,” it said. Although the defence ministry did not clarify which missile it was, sources in the defence and security establishment said it was the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. [...] While Sirsa, Haryana — from where Pakistan claimed the missile was launched — does not have a BrahMos base, the missile system is operated from specialised trucks and can be moved from one location to the another. Such missile tests usually happen on the Eastern flank and from the Andaman and Nicobar Command.
