Here are some amazing facts about the missile.
India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is achieving some amazing feats in Missile technology. BrahMos is one of the many missiles which DRDO has been working on. It is a stealth supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land.
1. It is a joint venture between Republic of India's DRDO and Russian Federation's NPO
Mashinostroeyenia who have together formed BrahMos Aerospace Private
Limited. The missile is named after two rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia
2. It is the world's fastest cruise missile in operation. The missile travels at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0.
3. The two-stage missile, the first one being solid and the second one ramjet liquid propellant, has already been inducted into the Army and Navy, and the Air Force version is in final stage of trial.
4. A hypersonic version of the missile is also presently under development with speed of Mach 7 to boost aerial fast strike capability. It is expected to be ready for testing by 2017.
5. They can travel close to the surface of the Earth which makes them very difficult to detect. BrahMos claims to have the capability of attacking surface targets by flying as low as 10 metres in altitude.
6. The supersonic missile is capable of carrying conventional warheads of up to 300 kg for a range of 290 km.
7. BrahMos is four times faster and is twice as heavier than US' Tomahawk missile. BrahMos has 32 times the initial kinetic energy of a Tomahawk missile.
8. India and Russia intend to make 2,000 BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles over the next 10 years
