With 3500 Km Range, India To Strengthen & Modify Its Su-30MKI Fleet With BrahMos Supersonic Missiles

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will increase the number of Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighters that can carry the air-launched version of the BrahMos supersonic missile. According to reports, BrahMos would have a whopping range of 500 kilometers which can be increased up to 1500 kilometers, at par with the best US missiles.

As per the latest media reports citing sources in the Indian defense and security establishment, the IAF had approved plans to modify 40 Su-30MKIs to enable them to operate the BrahMos Air-launched Cruise Missile (ALCM). [...] The Brahmos missile increases the combat range of the Su-30MKI, enabling the IAF to strike targets at long distances. For example, as part of a test in 2020, a Su-30 armed with the air-launched version of the missile took off from a base in Punjab and struck a target in the Indian Ocean.

The target was struck deep in the Indian Ocean, approximately 4,000 kilometers away, which was considered ‘the longest’ mission of this kind.
