Statements A, B, and C are correct about the BrahMos missile. It is a supersonic cruise missile developed in a joint venture between India (DRDO) and Russia (NPOM). Its name is derived from the Brahmaputra river of India and the Moskva river of Russia. Indian scientists successfully integrated and test-fired the BrahMos-A (Air-launched) variant from a Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft. Statement D is incorrect. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) manufactures the Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft under license in India, not the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). DRDO is involved in research, design, and development of defence technologies and systems, including missiles, but the manufacturing of the Su-30 MKI is done by HAL.

BrahMos is a product of Indo-Russian defence collaboration, while the Sukhoi-30 MKI is manufactured in India by HAL under license from Russia’s Sukhoi Corporation.

BrahMos is one of the fastest supersonic cruise missiles in the world. It can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or land. HAL is India’s state-owned aerospace and defence company responsible for manufacturing aircraft, helicopters, avionics, and their components.
