India is due to test the air-launched version of the supersonic Russian-Indian BrahMos cruise missile in the next three months, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

India’s Deployment of BrahMos Supersonic Stealth Missile is Making China Nervous
The Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta quoted Sudhir Kumar Mishra, chief executive of the Russian-Indian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace, as saying that India will test-fire the air-launched version of his company's supersonic Russian-Indian BrahMos cruise missile in the next three months.


Mishra also said that the hypersonic version of the BrahMos missile, capable of flying at a speed of up to 5,000 kilometers per hour, may be created by 2020.

The 2.5 metric ton supersonic Brahmos air-to-ground missile will be fired from an Indian Air Force's Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft that has already undergone modifications to accommodate the new weapon.

A successful preliminary trial was carried out earlier, and several more dummy trials are in the pipeline before the actual test.

"In March, we will hold three more tests, which will be followed by actual firings on sea and ground targets. However, we are already certain the launches will be successful, Mishra said.

Currently, BrahMos is capable of hitting targets beyond the radar horizon and can be launched from sea-based and land-based weapon systems.

If the air-launched version of the BrahMos missile is successful, Russia and India may get a strike system which will be second to none in terms of effectiveness among conventional airborne weapons, Rossiyskaya Gazeta quoted experts as saying.

The nine-meter BrahMos missile can travel at a speed of Mach 2.8, making it one the fastest missiles in the world. It has a flight range of up to 290 km and carries a 200-300 kg conventional warhead.

As for the supersonic version of the BrahMos missile, it is expected to be created before the end of 2019, Mishra said, adding that the project is being developed by Mashinostroyeniya rocket design, a Russian NPO bureau, the Moscow Aviation Institute and India's Defense Research and Development Organization.

Is it a requirement by law to get pissed off on hearing the name Brahmos ? Is not just a poor downgraded variant of Yakhont aka Onyx ?

indians caliming brahmos is the best then why you are making cruise missile same as pakistan and yet failed many time Babur is a terrain hugging stealth cruise missile in the world only USA and pakistan have the technology of that missile (wanna prove me wrong show other missile wihch have same feature)

there is a reason USA,russia,china is not funding supersonic cruise missile cause they can be shot down by a missile defence like in USA aircraft carriers and other war ships and there is a land version of it

Before I show other missiles, prove if Tom hawk aka Babur has this capability. lol . Now who says USA, CHINA are not working on supersonic cruise missiles?

Russia developed this missile but refuse to use it. They are sticking with their "inferior" originals. Shameless Indians claim that Russia is using it in Wikipedia. But once you read the whole thing, it's about Russia will eventually use it. The word "will" in this case is the key word. Such as it will never happen.

You are asking this because you do not know the difference between the two. Nirbhay will have a range of 1100 KM+ which is double the range of Brahmos inspite of many other parameter differs.
