India and Russia have pumped in USD 50 million to develop an aircraft version of the supersonic cruise missile `BrahMos', according to a top official of the joint venture.
"Development for the aircraft version is a new (initiative) which was not originally contemplated. Towards that we have added USD 50 million in the company as investment from both India and Russia," Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director of BrahMos Aerospace A Sivathanu Pillai said in Bangalore today.
Pillai said the Indian Air Force (IAF) would integrate the missile with Sukhoi-30 fighters.
"We have now completed the feasibility study for integrating the BrahMos with Sukhoi-30 for the Air Force. They have accepted the report and now we are in the process of making certain changes in the missile which will suit its integration with the Sukhoi. 2007 is the target date for flying the aircraft," he said.
The missile system was being inducted by the Indian Navy, Pillai said, adding that some trials had also been conducted for the Army.
