Footage of debris from the BrahMos supersonic air-launched missile, a joint Russian-Indian development, has appeared online.
BrahMos is one of the fastest cruise missiles in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 3. According to preliminary data, the munition carriers are the Su-30MKI "4++" generation fighters of the Indian Air Force. The munition was jointly developed by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation and the Russian NPO Mashinostroyeniya.
Initially, the BrahMos missile was developed in a shipborne version based on the P-800 Onyx. The missile is capable of speeds from 2.5 to 2.8 M, that is, 2.5-2.8 times the speed of sound.
The firing range along a combined trajectory is 300 km, at low altitude - 120 km. Flight altitude - 5-15000 m.
The missiles are assembled by BrahMos Aerospace in Hyderabad and PA Strela in Orenburg.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Pantsir-S1 SAM system will be able to launch more missiles to destroy drones.
