BRAHMOS HITS TARGET IN MAIDEN TEST FIRING
FROM NAVY'S NEW DESTROYER INS KOCHI
INDIAN ARMY SUCCESSFULLY TEST-FIRED
BRAHMOS LAND ATTACK MISSILE
The formidable BRAHMOS supersonic cruise missile on 01 November 2015
validated its strike power yet again after being successfully tested from
Indian Navy's newest stealth destroyer INS Kochi on the west coast of India.
At 1000 hrs on 07 November 2015, the Indian Army fired BRAHMOS landattack cruise missile successfully against a designated target at Pokhran test
range in Rajasthan, demonstrating the weapon's supreme operational
capability.
The world's fastest cruise missile, after performing high-level and extremely
complex manoeuvres, successfully hit a decommissioned target ship
'Alleppey' located at nearly full range of the missile (290-km) with high
precision.
The test-fire, carried out in the user-deployment configuration by trained
army personnel, met all the mission objectives.
Dr. S Christopher, Secretary Defence R&D and DG DRDO congratulated
Indian Army and BrahMos Aerospace on the successful flight test.
