Prior to this test fire, the Indian Navy successfully test-fired the BrahMos Supersonic Cruise Missile on January 11 this year. It also took place from INS Vishakapatnam. The missile was able to hit the target with pinpoint accuracy. Furthermore, back on December 8, 2021, India test-fired an air version of the Supersonic Cruise Missile. It was from the integrated test range of Chandipur, off the coast of Odisha. Additionally, the Indian Air Force test-fired the air version from a Sukhoi fighter aircraft on October 30, 2020. The BrahMos missile is being integrated on over 40 Sukhoi fighter jets by IAF.

The BrahMos Supersonic Cruise Missile has been deployed from all the three arms of the Indian Armed Forces, the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force, and the Indian Navy. It is being produced by BrahMos Aerospace, a joint venture between Russia and India. These missile deployment locations have been part of strategic ways by India along India’s border with China in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. Finally, it is being sent for President fleet review, after setting the mark of 75 years of Indian Navy’s service to the country with the test fire.
