BrahMos-II will be the world's largest missile, with a range of 1,500 kilometers and a speed 7 to 8 times the speed of sound, reaching up to 9,000 km/h.

Taking a leap in defense technology, India may start developing BrahMos-II hypersonic missiles with a pace which will be capable of targeting China and Pakistan within minutes. 

BrahMos-II will be the world’s largest missile, with a range of 1,500 kilometers and a speed 7 to 8 times the speed of sound, reaching up to 9,000 km/h.

Russia’s Zircon technology will be used to manufacture the BrahMos-II missiles. The new missile can be launched from submarines, air and territory. Its range can target Islamabad and any city of China.

This missile would be capable of destroying the target within 5-8 minutes. 

How was the first BrahMos Missile developed?

India developed BrahMos missile with the help of Russia which has a target range of 290 kilometres. Its speed is Mach 2.8 which is the fastest speed in the world. This missile is named after India’s Brahmaputra river and Russia’s Moskva river. 

Missile works on target and forget principle

BrahMos is a multi-platform missile that can be launched from land, air, or sea with high precision, even in adverse weather conditions. It operates on the ‘Target and Forget’ principle, meaning it doesn’t require further guidance after launch. The BrahMos-II, a hypersonic version, is expected to be deployed by 2027-28.
