Russia, India to Produce, Sell 1,000 Supersonic Cruise Missiles
"Russia and India intend to make 1,000 BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles over the next ten years through their joint venture company, and nearly 50 percent of them are expected to be sold to other countries, defense sources said Friday."
Right! and sell them to North Korea and Iran! #@%&@*!
Noting that BrahMos is the world’s only supersonic cruise missile without a competitor, Sivathanu Pillai stressed the need for retaining that competitive edge.
“Having reached this stage, it’s necessary that we keep that edge. We are definitely working on that (an upgraded version of BrahMos).”
The 2.5-ton BrahMos has a strike range of 290 km and has a maximum speed of Mach 2.8 (one km per second).
