Aero India 2023 show features models of the air-launched version of the BrahMos supersonic missile along with the BrahMos NG missile.
The BrahMos supersonic missile has a flight range of up to 290 km with supersonic speed all through the light, ensuring lower dispersion of targets, quicker engagement time and non-interception by any known weapon system in the world.
The BrahMos can be launched from land, sea and air, and has an identical configuration for all three. It is currently in service in all these three areas.
Also on display is the the BrahMos-NG (next generation) missile model. NG will weigh almost half as much as the current air-launched version. With this, a SU-30MKI will be able to carry up to four BrahMos-NG missiles, while the Light Combat Aircraft can carry two missiles.
