India to carry out multiple launches of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles by November-end

Amid the ongoing tensions with China, India is all set to showcase the massive firepower of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile by the month-end as the three defence forces would carry out multiple firings of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) developed missile system in the Indian Ocean Region in the last week of this month.

The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile is the world`s fastest operational system in its class and recently DRDO has extended the range of the missile system from the existing 298 km to around 450 km.

The defence services are scheduled to carry out multiple test-firings of the BrahMos in the last week of November against different targets in the Indian Ocean Region.

The tests would help the defence services to further improve the performance of the missile system.
