Indian Navy successfully launched the BrahMos missile

The Indian Navy successfully launched the BrahMos carrying an indigenous Seeker and Booster designed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Sunday.

The missile test was carried out from a Kolkata-class guided missile destroyer warship. BrahMos Aerospace is continuously working on increasing indigenous content in the missile.

BrahMos is one of the world’s most powerful missiles which is in a joint venture between the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Russian Federation’s NPO Mashinostroyeniya and together they have formed BrahMos Aerospace.

It is a supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from either a submarine, a ship, an airplane, a jet, or even land. Also, it is the fastest supersonic cruise missile in the world. The name BrahMos is formed from the names of two rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia.
