Army Tests Extended Range BrahMos Cruise Missile From Andaman And Nicobar Islands

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.
