„BrahMos“ is a two-stage cruise missile with a solid propellant launching
stage, which accelerates it to supersonic speed, and then separates.
The flight altitude can reach up to 15 kilometres, and the lowest possible
altitude is 10 meters. The missile carries a conventional warhead weighing
from 200 to 300 kilograms. It has the same configuration for ground, surface
and underwater launchers (carriers). The missile is produced by BrahMos
Aerospace, a joint Russian-Indian venture established in 1998, named after
the Brahmaputra and Moscow rivers. The company was founded by DRDO
and the Russian „NPO Mashinostroyenia“.
