Indian Army Conducts Successful BrahMos Test

The Indian Army conducted a successful combat launch of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile on December 01, 2025 from a test range in the Bay of Bengal. According to the Army, the mission was executed by a BrahMos unit of Southern Command with support from the Tri-Services Andaman & Nicobar Command.

The missile, fitted with updated guidance and control systems, engaged a designated target and met all operational parameters under simulated battle conditions. The Army stated that the launch validated the system’s performance, high-speed flight stability and terminal accuracy, and demonstrated the preparedness of BrahMos units to undertake precision-strike missions.

Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Southern Command, acknowledged the success of the launch. The Army said the test marks a further step in strengthening long-range precision-strike capabilities and contributes to ongoing efforts to enhance deterrence.

The BrahMos system, jointly developed by India and Russia, is deployed across multiple branches of the Indian Armed Forces. The Army noted that the test reflects the continuing progress of indigenous missile technologies and aligns with national self-reliance efforts under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
