BrahMos Missile

The BrahMos is a two-stage missile with a solid propellant booster engine that separates when the weapon achieves supersonic speeds. The second stage, or liquid ramjet, accelerates the missile to speeds approaching Mach 3, or over 3,700 km/h. The BrahMos has a range of 290 kilometres but, more importantly, it boasts ‘reduced dispersion of targets, quicker engagement time, and non-interception by any known weapon system in the globe’, according to its inventors. The BrahMos carries a conventional warhead weighing 200 to 300 kg and has a cruising altitude of 15 kilometres, with a terminal altitude of 10 metres.
