Army Tests Extended Range BrahMos Cruise Missile From Andaman And Nicobar Islands
BrahMos missile tested by the Indian Army from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on 29 November.
The Indian Army tested a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from the Andaman and Nicobar (A&N) Islands earlier today (29 November).
An extended-range version of the missile was tested by the Western Command of the Army, the A&N command, the only tri-services command of the Indian Army, said in a post on Twitter.
Earlier this month, India had issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), indicative of a missile test, for 29 November and 1 December.
The no-fly zone notified for the test suggests that the variant of the missile tested today can hit targets at a range of 450 km or more.
India has conducted multiple tests of the BrahMos cruise missile from the A&N Islands this year. In February, India test-fired a BrahMos missile from a land-based launcher there. An extended-range version of the BrahMos cruise missile was tested from the Islands in March. In April, the A&N Command test-fired the anti-ship version of the BrahMos.
