In a setback, a crucial test on Monday of the 290 km-range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile carried out by the Army failed, following which the Army officially “withdrew” an earlier press statement in which it had said the test was successful. The failure of the test on Monday was a setback to the Army’s efforts to operationalise another regiment of the BrahMos weapon system.

The Army on Monday had test-fired the missile from the Car Nicobar Island to operationalise another regiment of the BrahMos weapon system. The Block III variant of the BrahMos with steep dive capability was launched by an Army unit from a mobile autonomous launcher at about 11 am on Monday. But the missile failed to hit the designated target on Trak Island at an extended range, sources said. “The test has failed,” sources confirmed.

The 8.4 metre-long missile can fly at 2.8 times the speed of sound and is capable of carrying conventional warheads of up to 300 kg for a range of 290 km.

Featuring a very low radar signature, it can be launched from land, ship, submarines and air platforms. BrahMos Aerospace is currently working to develop the submarine-launched, air-launched and hyper-sonic version of the missile.

Bloody media. The Army never said that it failed, they just withdrawn the statement.

The possibilities are several: (a) It wasn't a test that was meant to be announced. (b) The announcement wasn't meant to carry the details it did. (c) The test wasn't a success, and was in fact a dud. (d) There were other factual inaccuracies in the statement. (e) There was no BrahMos test at all, it was in fact a test of the Dhanush, ship-launched tactical ballistic missile.
