India successfully tests supersonic missile

BrahMos Aerospace, an India-Russian joint venture, produces the supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or from land platforms. The BrahMos missile flies at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound.
India has now successfully test-fired a naval variant of the advanced supersonic BrahMos cruise missile from a stealth guided-missile destroyer of the Indian Navy. The advanced sea to sea variant of BrahMos Supersonic Cruise missile was tested from INS Visakhapatnam and the missile hit the designated target ship precisely.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the successful launch of the missile reconfirmed the robustness of the Indian Navy's "mission readiness".
Minister Singh had tweeted that “The robustness of @indiannavy mission readiness is reconfirmed today after successful launch of the advanced version of BrahMos Missile from INS Visakhapatnam today. I congratulate the wonderful team work of @indiannavy @DRDO_India & @BrahMosMissile,"
