Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari complimented the cruise missile's successful test-firing. Defence officials told news agency ANI that he is at the island region of Andaman and Nicobar to check operational readiness.
An extended-range land-attack Brahmos supersonic cruise missile was successfully displayed by the Indian Navy earlier this month from the stealth warship INS Chennai.
After crossing an extended range trajectory and conducting intricate manoeuvres, the missile hit its targeted target with perfect accuracy, according to naval authorities.
Both the Brahmos missile and the INS Chennai were manufactured in India, demonstrating the country's missile and shipbuilding ability. According to the authorities, they "reinforce" the Indian Navy's contributions to the Atma Nirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives.
