Indian Navy's Stealth Destroyer Successfully Test Fired BrahMos Supersonic Missile

: A naval version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test-fired from an indigenously built
stealth destroyer of the Indian Navy in the Arabian Sea on Sunday, officials said.
The missile was fired from INS Chennai, a stealth destroyer, and it hit the target with pin-point accuracy after performing
"extremely complex" manoeuvres, they said.
BrahMos as 'prime strike weapon' will ensure the warship's invincibility by engaging naval surface targets at long ranges,
thus making the destroyer another lethal platform of Indian Navy
BrahMos Aerospace, an India-Russia joint venture, produces the supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from
submarines, ships, aircraft, or from land platforms.
In the last few weeks, India has test fired a number of missiles including a new version of the surface-to-surface supersonic
cruise missile BrahMos and anti-radiation missile Rudram-1.
The original 290-km range BrahMos has already been deployed in Ladakh as well as Arunachal Pradesh during the ongoing
military confrontation with China.
The armed forces have already inducted the 290-km range land and warship-based versions of the BrahMos missiles, which
fly almost three times the speed of sound at Mach 2.8, over the last decade.
A sleeker version of air-breathing missile was also test-fired from Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jets last year. These air-to-ground
BrahMos missiles can conceivably be used for pinpoint strikes on terror camps located deep inside enemy territory, or to
take out underground nuclear bunkers, command-and-control centres and other high-value military targets like aircraft
carriers on the high seas, from long stand-off distances.
India also carried out successful test firing of a laser guided anti-tank guided missile and nuclear capable hypersonic missile
