“The launch from the aircraft was smooth & the missile followed the desired trajectory before directly hitting the land target,” Indian Air Force said in a statement.
BrahMos provides IAF the capability to strike from large stand-off ranges on any target at sea or on land with pinpoint accuracy by day or night in any weather condition.
IAF successfully tested aerial version of Brahmos from Sukhoi 30 MKI aircraft.
“Brahmos coupled with the superlative performance of Su-30MKI gives IAF the desired strategic reach,” said the force.
India has already developed naval and land version of this lethal missile, and successful testing of its aerial version will act as a strong deterrent for its adversaries.
