The Russian-Indian BrahMos supersonic cruise missile

Russian-Indian BrahMos supersonic cruise missile The BrahMos anti-ship missile was jointly developed by Russia's Engineering Research and Production Association (NPO) and the Indian Defense Ministry's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) Specifications Designation 3,000 kg (sea-launched The missile is designed to hit all classes of version), Lift-off weight: warships 2,500 kg (air-launched version) The missile is fired from mobile Up to 300 kg self-contained launchers installed onboard submarines, warships and fixed-wing aircraft Warhead: Flight altitude From 5 to 14,000 meters History and prospects The BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited joint venture was established in 1998 and started Maximum speed: Mach 2.8 working on the project Diameter: 70 cm Twenty successful tests were conducted The Indian Air Force has already adopted the missile Wingspan: 1.7 meters Range: 290 km - BrahMos Aerospace is ready to enter the international market. Prospective clients include 14 countries The Indian Air Force requires 1,000 BrahMos missiles In all, 2,000 Brahmos missiles can be exported The missile rapidly loses altitude while approaching its target and thus evades ship-based air-defense systems There are plans to develop the hypersonic BrahMos missile with a speed of Mach 5 The missile can hit a target of 1.5m x 1.5m at maximum range Various flight paths Name The acronym BrahMos is an abbreviation of the names of two rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia RIANOVOSTI © 2010 www.rian.ru IBRAHMOS Russian-Indian BrahMos supersonic cruise missile The BrahMos anti-ship missile was jointly developed by Russia's Engineering Research and Production Association (NPO) and the Indian Defense Ministry's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) Specifications Designation 3,000 kg (sea-launched The missile is designed to hit all classes of version), Lift-off weight: warships 2,500 kg (air-launched version) The missile is fired from mobile Up to 300 kg self-contained launchers installed onboard submarines, warships and fixed-wing aircraft Warhead: Flight altitude From 5 to 14,000 meters History and prospects The BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited joint venture was established in 1998 and started Maximum speed: Mach 2.8 working on the project Diameter: 70 cm Twenty successful tests were conducted The Indian Air Force has already adopted the missile Wingspan: 1.7 meters Range: 290 km - BrahMos Aerospace is ready to enter the international market.
