This flight test was monitored by all the sensors of the range instrumentation including telemetry, radar and electro-optical tracking systems deployed across the eastern coast and the down range ships.

Brahmos was successfully test-fired from Integrated Test Range, Chandipur off the coast of Odisha on January 20, 2022.
The flight test is a major milestone in the way forward for BrahMos programme.

The highly maneuverable missile cruised at supersonic speed for its maximum range and all mission objectives were met.
