    BrahMos missile successfully test-fired at nearly 3X speed of sound
  • India on Wednesday successfully test-fired the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur.

    The surface-to-surface missile features an indigenous booster and airframe section along with many other 'Made in India' sub-systems, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

    The missile flew at Mach 2.8 or nearly three times the speed of sound.

    Here are more details.

    The missile, which has a strike range of over 400 km, was cruising at a top speed of Mach 2.8.

    "All the parameters were met during the trial," a DRDO official told PTI.

    BrahMos considered world's fastest supersonic cruise missile

  • BrahMos is a two-stage missile with a solid propellant booster engine as its first stage which brings it to supersonic speed and gets separated, according to BrahMos Aerospace Ltd.

    The liquid ramjet or the second stage propels it closer to Mach 3 in the cruise phase.

    The missile—considered the world's fastest supersonic cruise missile—is already operational with the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force.
