This flight testing comes on the close corners of another imperative benchmark that was made last November when BrahMos missile was test-fired for the very first time from the frontline Sukhoi-30 MKI combat jet of the Indian Air Force.
Further BrahMos has come out to be the favoured standard precision strike-weapon for the armed forces. The smooth supersonic cruise missile flies at almost thrice the speed of sound.
