BALASORE, ODISHA (PTI): India on Friday test fired the BRAHMOS supersonic cruise missile with certain new systems from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur off Odisha coast.
The test comes two days after defence scientists conducted a similar trial from the same site.
"The missile was test fired from a ground mobile launcher from the launch complex-3 of the ITR at about 1000 hours," a senior official said.
The supersonic missile, which has a flight range of up to 290 km, is capable of carrying a conventional warhead of 200 to 300 kg.
"Today's launch was a developmental trial of the land version of BRAHMOS incorporating certain new systems," Dr A Sivathanu Pillai, CEO and Managing Director of the Brahmos Aerospace, an Indo-Russian joint venture company developing the missile system, told PTI.
