The BrahMos, a Mach 3 cruise missile developed in collaboration with Russia, can effectively target surface or sea-based objectives up to a distance of 300 km.

Notably, it was produced in India with Russian cooperation.

In November last year, the Indian Navy had successfully test-fired a BrahMos missile from one of its warships in the Bay of Bengal. The missile demonstrated success in meeting all mission objectives.
