Indian Navy recently successfully fired a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from its destroyer in the Bay of Bengal.
During the test-firing, all the objectives and parameters were achieved.
The missile successfully destroyed its target with pinpoint precision.
The Indian Navy posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating, “An Indian Navy destroyer of the eastern fleet carried out the successful firing of a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile in the Bay of Bengal. The missile achieved all mission objectives.”
Worth mentioning that within a month two BrahMos tests have been conducted by the Indian Armed Forces.
Just a fortnight ago, the Indian Air Force (IAF) Sukhoi Su-30MKI combat jets fired the air launched variant BrahMos-A missile successfully destroying its target in the Bay of Bengal.
Besides, another test was undertaken last month by the IAF and Indian Army during which the defence services jointly fired four BrahMos-ER (extended-range) supersonic cruise missiles.
