BrahMos
takes flight
In November 2017, BrahMos
Aerospace and India’s Defence
Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO)
conducted the first air launch
of the BrahMos supersonic
cruise missile.
The weapon was
launched from an Indian Air
Force (IAF) Sukhoi Su-30MKI as
the first stage of clearing the
weapon for IAF deployment.
Forty Su-30s are being modified
to fire the missile, which could
become operational by the end
of this year.
India has uppped the stakes
in the regional power zone , with
Pakistan now having to consider development
of its own industries , or to purchase
equipment to counter the said Indian threat.
