Air Force version of BrahMos Air to Ground getting ready

The design and initial development of the Air Force version of the BrahMos Cruise Missile have been completed. The system is to be fitted into Sukhoi-30 by the end of next year.

A. Sivathanu Pillai, CEO & MD of BrahMos Aerospace, an Indo-Russian Joint Venture, told The Hindu here on Friday that the feasibility of incorporating the Air Force version of the missile was complete. The army version would be inducted in two years.

He said the missile had already been installed on one ship and all ships in the future would be fitted with it.

As a first step, three Talwar class ships being built by Russia for the Indian navy would be fitted with the missile.
