Small-Sized Craft Armed with 8 BrahMos Missiles Showcased at Army-2022 Forum

BrahMos has presented a small-sized boat armed with eight BrahMos supersonic missiles at the Army-2022 Forum.

"We always said our missile is versatile and can be deployed on small-capacity platforms also. The craft in the presented version carries eight missiles," co-director of the Russian-Indian joint venture Alexander Maksichev told TASS at the event.

"We are speaking about the concept. We have the experience when up to 12 missiles were deployed on missile boats with the displacement of 700-800 tonnes. This is possible," Maksichev noted.

BrahMos missiles have shipborne, airborne and land-based versions. The missile range initially was 290 km.
