BrahMos Cruise Missile Range Extension

under development

India, in cooperation with Russia, is working to increase the range of the BrahMos cruise missile to 800 km, significantly enhancing its strike capabilities and allowing deeper reach across the Indian Ocean. The project involves joint development within the BrahMos Aerospace venture, combining Indian and Russian technologies, particularly linked to the Russian P-800 Oniks system. This extension transforms the missile from a tactical system to an operational-level power projection tool, enabling India to control key maritime routes and chokepoints.
