New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

A BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test-fired from the Indian Navy’s frontline guided missile destroyer INS Mormugao, officials said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The missile firing demonstrated the Indian Navy’s firepower at sea, they said.<\/p>\n

“INS Mormugao, the latest guided-missile destroyer, successfully hit ‘bulls eye’ during her maiden BrahMos supersonic cruise missile firing,” a Navy official said.<\/p>\n

“The ship and her potent weapon, both indigenous, mark another shining symbol of ‘AatmaNirbharta’ and Indian Navy’s firepower at sea,” the official added.<\/p>\n

The location of the test-firing of the missile is not immediately known.<\/p>\n

BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd, an India-Russian joint venture, produces the supersonic cruise missiles that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or land platforms.<\/p>\n

BrahMos missile flies at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound. India is also exporting the BrahMos missiles.<\/p>\n

In January last year, India sealed a $375 million deal with the Philippines for supplying three batteries of the missile.<\/p>\n
