The BrahMos land attack cruise missiles engaged the designated mock targets close to 300 Km away and achieved direct hit in both the cases. The launch was smooth and both the missiles followed the desired trajectory.

The firing by IAF demonstrates the mobility and agility of IAF units to operationally deploy and launch at targets with pin-point accuracy.
IAF had previously successfully fired the land version of the BrahMos missile at Pokhran.

In addition, IAF had also recently successfully fired the air version of the BrahMos missile from its frontline Su-30MKI fighter aircraft in May 2019 in the same area.

The 2.8 Mach BrahMos missile is a state-of-art supersonic cruise missile designed and developed by BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd (BAPL). The missile is ideally suited for launch from large stand-off ranges to engage fortified targets deep inside the enemy territory with precision.

The BrahMos missile provides Indian Air Force a much desired capability to strike from large stand-off ranges on any target at sea or on land with pinpoint accuracy by day or night and in all weather conditions.

Supersonic speeds combined with capability to attack the assigned target in Single or Salvo mode ensures quicker target engagement with a high degree of assurance. The missile functions on the Fire and Forget principle with high accuracy.
