BrahMos-2 is expected to have a maximum range of 600 kilometres, but
will be limited to 290 kilometres due to the regulations laid down by the
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which prohibits countries
from developing missiles with a range beyond 300 kilometres. Both
Russia and India are a part of this agreement
Even if the range is limited, the speed is doubled. BrahMos-2 is
expected to have a top speed of Mach 7
BrahMos-2 is expected to be ready for test fire by 2020
A Boomerang version of BrahMos missiles is also under development
India also promised to develop most advanced BrahMos-3 missiles in
the near future for Russia. With that movement, India will be a
superpower in missile technology
Way Forward
India is planning to invest more in the research and development of BrahMos.
It is expected that selling BrahMos in the global market will help India to
generate an income of about $12 billion annually. India will be one of the
best missile technology-occupied countries in the world in the near future.
