India successfully test-fired a developed edition of the Brahmos missile with enhanced capacities on Thursday, expanding to a sequel of examinations administered newly by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
DRDO in an announcement told that the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile with raised indigenous quantity and enhanced achievement was successfully test-fired at 10:30 am from Integrated Test span, Chandipur off the shore of Odisha.
The liftoff was administered by the Brahmos Aerospace in conclusion coordination with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) committees.

Top five facts to know about the BrahMos missile launched
- BrahMos is able of holding up a warhead of 300 kilograms including both conventional as well as nuclear and has a prime supersonic velocity of Mach 2.8 to 3 with approximately 3 times the velocity of sound. This aviation experiment was surveyed by all the detectors of the span instrumentation encompassing telemetry, radar and electro-optical tracking strategies deployed across the eastern shore and the down span ships.
- The BrahMos missile is a cooperative undertaking between India’s DRDO and Russia’s NPOM and both coalitions contributed in the occasion. The aim has been to continuously promote the influential, highly adaptable BrahMos to improve its effectivenesst and lethality against sea and land marks.
- It has system-centric architecture, numerous trajectories, path-point capacity, and is eligible of committing any aspect of land or naval targets beyond the boundary in a minimum deployment time.
- The missile is highly adaptable and its unmatched speed, accuracy and energy gives rise to it the ultimate contemporary missile. Architects tell that the missile has a strike precision percentage of 99.99%.
- The flight examination is a crucial milestone in the means forward for the BrahMos programme. The highly maneuverable weapon roamed at supersonic velocity to its utmost span and all mission goals were fulfilled. The missile was eligible with developed indigenous technologies and attended a modified optimal trajectory for developed efficiency and enhanced achievement.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praised the Brahmos, DRDO committees and initiative for the profitable aviation experiment.
Director General Brahmos Atul D Rane furthermore congratulated the cooperative committees of NPOM Russia and DRDO committees pertained in the experiment.
G Satheesh Reddy, Chairman of DRDO, admired the scientists and architects for continuously settling undertakings to maximise missile networks efficiency and concentrate extra on indigenous subject.
