A new version of Brahmos Missile was tested with pin-point accuracy on Thursday the 29th of December 2022 against a ship-target fired from Su-30MKI fighter aircraft.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the Indian Air Force(IAF) successfully tested an ‘Extended Range’ Version of Brahmos Air Launched missile against a moving ship target at sea.
The missile achieved the desired mission objectives in the Bay of Bengal region, the IAF said.
With this, the IAF has achieved a significant capability boost to carry out precision strikes from Su-30MKI aircraft against land/sea targets over very long ranges.
The extended range capability of the missile, coupled with the high performance of the SU-30MKI aircraft gives the IAF a strategic reach and allows it to dominate the future battle fields, the IAF said.
The dedicated and synergetic efforts of IAF, Indian Navy, DRDO, BAPL and HAL have been instrumental in achieving this feat, the IAF added.
