BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test-fired from a naval warship on Thursday. The supersonic missile, with a strike-range of over 290 km, was test-fired from the Navy’s stealth destroyer INS Kochi, hitting a decommissioned target ship in the Arabian Sea.

The second ship of Project 15-A “Kolkata-class” guided missile destroyer test-fired the advanced missile during a naval drill in the west coast.

The world’s fastest cruise missile, after performing extremely complex manoeuvres, successfully hit decommissioned target ship with high precision, defence officials said.

“After two successful test trials from INS Kolkata in June 2014 and February 2015 and one successful test firing from INS Kochi in November 2015, today’s test firing from INS Kochi has re-validated the ship’s precise strike capability. Brahmos as the 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” DRDO sources said.
