DRDO testfires land-attack version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile

DRDO on Monday successfully test fired the land-attack version of 290 km strike range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile off the coast of Odisha.

The BrahMos missile test-fired today has been fitted with increased indigenous equipment and is a version used by the Indian Army, Defence sources said here.

BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile operated by all the three services of the armed forces in different roles and different versions.

The BrahMos is a joint venture between India and Russia in which DRDO has been working hard to increase the indigenous content to cut down on the import costs.
