BrahMos is the name of a short-range supersonic cruise missile.
BrahMos is a joint venture between India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyeniya. It is named after two rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia. It is one of the fastest supersonic cruise missiles in the world.
BrahMos can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or land. Its speed is around Mach 2.8 to 3.0. While “short-range” is relative, cruise missiles are distinct from ballistic missiles (which follow a parabolic trajectory) and glide weapons. BrahMos flies at low altitudes, making it difficult to intercept.
