Navy tests advanced BrahMos Supersonic missile

demonstrated the accuracy of an extended-range land attack Brahmos supersonic cruise missile from the stealth destroyer INS Chennai. The missile hit the intended target with pinpoint accuracy after traversing an extended trajectory range and performing complex maneuvers, the Navy said. “Both Brahmos missile and INS Chennai are indigenously built and highlight the cutting-edge of Indian missile and ship-building prowess. They reinforce the Indian Navy’s contribution towards the AtmaNirbhar Bharat and Make in India endeavors,” the Navy said in a statement. This achievement establishes the Navy’s ability to strike even deeper and influence land operations further away from sea, when and where required, it said. Earlier, the Navy test fired the cruise missile from the stealth guided missile destroyer INS Visakhapatnam ahead of the President’s Fleet Review. Developed by India-Russia joint venture BrahMos Aerospace, the missile is equipped with stealth technology and a guidance system with advanced software for precise target acquisition. The Missile is one of the fastest supersonic cruise missiles in the world. It can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land.
