New Delhi: The Indian Navy on March 5, 2022, successfully demonstrated the accuracy of an extended-range land-attack Brahmos supersonic cruise missile from the stealth destroyer INS Chennai.
The missile hit its intended target with pinpoint accuracy after traversing an extended range trajectory and performing complex manoeuvres, the Ministry of Defence informed in a press release.
Both Brahmos missile and INS Chennai are indigenously built and highlight the cutting-edge of Indian missile and ship-building prowess.
They reinforce the Indian Navy’s contribution towards the Atma Nirbhar Bharat and Make in India endeavours, the release added.
This achievement establishes the Indian Navy’s ability to strike even deeper and influence land operations further away from the sea, when and where required, said the Ministry of Defence. (Press Release)
