· India · dpa-international
India conducted a flight test of the land-attack version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, according to dpa-international. The test launch took place from a mobile launcher in the Odisha coast, demonstrating India's indigenous development capabilities and joint collaboration with Russia. The Exercise demonstrated that the BrahMos land-attack system can find targets on land with pinpoint accuracy and strike, making it a valuable addition to the country's strategic defence arsenal. The test was declared a success.
Why it matters
The successful test of BrahMos comes at a time of heightened tension among regional powers. As BrahMos is capable of carrying a conventional warhead at speeds of up to Mach 3 and executing sweeping high-altitude manoeuvres, this achievement further solidifies India's position as a strategic power in the region.
