New Delhi, November 18, 2013: The Indian Army on Monday successfully test-fired an advanced version of Indo-Russian BrahMos supersonic cruise missile in Pokhran range in Rajasthan.

 

The Block III variant of BrahMos with deep penetration capability was tested from a Mobile Autonomous Launcher (MAL) deployed in configuration with Mobile command Post (MCP).

The missile took a predetermined trajectory and pierced the designated concrete structure at bull’s eye owing to its sheer velocity.

"The launch has successfully validated the deep penetration capability of the supersonic cruise missile system against hardened targets," a statement said.
