CHENNAI - December 19, 2008: Supersonic cruise missile BrahMos was successfully launched from a vertical launcher of a naval ship in the Bay of Bengal on Thursday.
The earlier launches of the missile from naval ships were in an inclined mode.
A press release from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) called the launch “a milestone” because most warships were now fitted with the vertical launcher. All mission objectives were met, it added.
The missile is developed jointly by India and Russia. It flies at more than three times the speed of sound (Mach 3) and has a range of 290 km.
The Navy and the Army have inducted the missile into their arsenal.
