Work on the BrahMos project began in mid-1999. The new missile was based on anti-ship missile ”Yakhont“. The first successful launch of the BrahMos missile took place from a coastal launcher on June 12, 2001.
Cruise missile ”BrahMos“ is used by the Indian army. Over the 20 years of the joint venture, more than 50 BrahMos missile launches from all types of carriers have been conducted in India. The project is highly assessed by the political leadership of Russia and India and is a vivid example of a new promising form of cooperation.
