Indian Navy Carries Out Precision Hit of Land Target With Extended Range of BrahMos
According to the official BrahMos website, the supersonic cruise missile is a two-stage missile with a solid
propellant booster engine as its first stage which brings it to supersonic
speed and then gets separated. The liquid ramjet or the second stage then
takes the missile closer to Mach-3 speed in the cruise phase
The Indian Navy and the BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited (BAPL) on Wednesday
carried out a successful engagement of a land target at enhanced range with an
advanced supersonic cruise missile.
