India to roll out new BrahMos missiles in 2-3 years
India is about to roll out its new 800-km range BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles within the next two to three years.
Built through a partnership with Russia, these missiles are undergoing major tests.
The upgrade means India can hit land and sea targets farther, using platforms it already has.
The upgraded missile flies at nearly Mach 3
The 800-km BrahMos missile flies at nearly Mach 3, packs improved navigation for better accuracy, and resists jamming.
Plus, there's more on the horizon: India is developing the lighter BrahMos-NG, which will fit more fighter jets.
Over ₹58,000 crore in deals for extended-range BrahMos missiles
With over ₹58,000 crore in deals, these missiles are a big part of India's defense upgrade plans.
The Navy ordered 220 extended-range versions last year, and air-launched models are expected for Su-30MKI jets after end-2027.
It's all about boosting self-reliance with advanced tech made at home.
