As the country with the strongest military strength in South Asia, India has been the focus of attention from the outside world, the country has launched a lot of self-developed weapons in recent years, such as the Tejar fighter, Arjun main battle tank, INSAS rifle, Akash anti-aircraft missile, etc., although these weapons and equipment are somewhat flawed, but let India get a breakthrough from zero to one in many fields, mentioning India's self-developed weapons, BrahMos ranked first, which is the world's fastest anti-ship missile, Brah Mos can reach Mach 3 and can carry 300 kg of warhead.

At present, India has installed the Brah Mos missile into the army, is one of the few in India, both can be equipped with the navy, but also can be equipped with the army's advanced weapons, highlighting the achievements of the Indian military industry, strictly speaking, Brah Mos is India and Russia jointly developed, the two countries jointly set up the Brah Mos Aerospace Joint Venture, the first flight demonstration in 2021, after more than 30 years of development, has now developed land, ship, air, submarine 4 models, and equipped with three services.

So far, the localization rate of Brahmos is constantly improving, initially Russia to provide 65% of the components for this weapon, including the most critical radar seeker and ram engine, by 2018 India has completed 65% of the localization rate, and now the localization rate of this missile is close to 95%, strictly speaking, Brahmos is also India's current equipment, the most reliable performance, the technical level of high domestic weapons, is a complete model, a variety of delivery platforms, strong strike capabilities of supersonic anti-ship missiles. This missile is composed of fairing, control system, warhead, engine, actuator, etc., the whole process needs to use more than 7,000 parts, the engine is one of the core technologies of the missile, BrahMos uses a two-stage engine, the first stage is a booster rocket engine, responsible for the initial acceleration of the missile, the second stage is a ramjet engine, responsible for providing supersonic cruise capability for the missile, the original engine is provided by Russia, and will not transfer technology, but India has developed the relevant engine through imitation.

BrahMos missile performance is very good, in the cruise missile, the performance can be comparable to the American Tomahawk, in the anti-ship missile, the performance can be compared with the American Harpoon, due to the use of a unique aerodynamic layout, so the missile flight distance can reach 300 kilometers, the improved extended range missile range of up to 450 kilometers, the next step India plans to increase the range to 800 kilometers, the most attractive to the outside world is that the maximum flight speed of this missile is Mach 3, the cruise altitude of 14,000 meters, the use of combined guidance mode. This supersonic missile is very suitable for mountain combat, but also very suitable for anti-ship combat, inertia guidance, active radar, satellite navigation and other combined guidance mode, so that the missile strike accuracy to reach the meter level, in general, due to the technical support of the Russian expert team, so this is one of the few domestic weapons with good reliability in India, and now India also hopes to enhance the popularity of Indian military products through the export of this missile, in an attempt to pry open the Southeast Asian arms market with the BrahMos missile.
