Flew 900 km: India tests the Brahmos rocket increased range (video)

Experts say that rocket range has increased significantly in recent years. Initially, Brahmos was limited to a flight to 290 km, but after modernization the situation improved. The India's Navy announced a successful lesion of the landing target for increased range with the supersonic winged Brahmos rocket. A warning to ban flights in the zone was announced for the maximum length of about 900 km to carry out the test launches. This was reported on February 2 in Navak News.

"It is the longest of the known warnings about the banner of the flight during the test of the Brahmos rocket, which convincingly indicates that the rocket is now able to reach up to 900 km," the observers write. According to Brahmos tests, the Indian military reported a successful lesion of the landing target for increased range. In this case, the RajPut - either Ins Ranvir or Ins Ranvijay, as evidenced by the published images, acted as a test platform.

British experts say Brahmos is the best offensive missile used by the Navy of India, and its various versions are often tested. Initially, the rocket of the joint project of India and Russia was limited to the flight range of 290 km, but in 2017 the distance was increased to 400 km. Modifications contained changes in software and some components of the motor installation. In July 2021, it was announced to create a faulty area with a maximum length of 760 km. However, this test Brahmos has failed.

But a year later, the launch of a "extended opportunity" rocket was announced. A successful test at a distance of about 780 km was reported. "Anti -ship options with a maximum range of 900 km, when they are tested, will put to the fore the need for an Indian fleet to improve awareness of the sea space and the capabilities of the ISR system," the observers concluded. Earlier, we wrote that the Indian weapon company Brahmos Aerospace has announced the desire to sell its winged missiles in Russia.
