On Sunday, March 5, the Indian Navy tested a BrahMos anti-ship missile from a Kolkata-class destroyer in the Arabian Sea. The test is notable because it used a seeker made by the DRDO.
BrahMos anti-ship missiles are on at least seven types of Indian navy ships, like destroyers and frigates. At least three regiments of BrahMos units are also part of the Indian Army’s arsenal.
The Indian Air Force uses a version of the Su-30MKI that can be launched from the air to attack ships.
BrahMos has also been sent to the Philippines as part of a $375 million deal to equip the Philippines navy’s anti-ship missile system that is based on land. It is also said that the Philippines Army is thinking about getting the Brahmos system.
The BrahMos missile is very flexible and can be used to attack ships, land-based targets, and radar stations, among other things. It has a small radar cross-section, which makes it hard to find and stop.
The missile is powered by a solid fuel rocket motor and guided by an inertial guidance system with terminal active homing. It also has high-tech features, such as stealth technology, digital scene matching, and area correlation, which help it move through difficult terrain with great accuracy.
