Description The BrahMos missile is a supersonic cruise missile jointly developed by India and Russia, named after the Brahmaputra and Moskva rivers. Known for its speed, precision, and versatility, it can be launched from land, air, sea, or submarine platforms. With a range of approximately 300–900 km, it travels at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3. It is considered one of the world’s fastest and most advanced cruise missiles. The enemy cannot jam the guidance system. At terminal stage, it performs a S maneuver to avoid anti-missile defence system just before reaching its target, which makes it almost indestructible. The missile plays a crucial role in strengthening India’s defense capabilities.
