What is the BrahMos missile?
The BrahMos is a long-range supersonic cruise missile developed by India’s DRDO and Russia’s NPOM. It can be launched from land, air, sea, or submarines, and travels at speeds up to Mach 3. It follows a fire-and-forget model with high precision.

How BrahMos works
The missile uses two stages a solid booster for launch and a liquid ramjet for high-speed cruise. With a cruising altitude of 15 km and the ability to fly just 10 metres above ground at impact, it’s hard to detect and even harder to stop.
