Pj-10 brahmos video

brahmos a product combination of russian anti-ship supersonic missile proplusion, communication and radar and indian electronics,data system and computers ...

indian electronics has enabled the reduction in the size and mass of the missile ,

in a way it is referred to as yakhonts mk 2 by the oganok military magazine , and is the first supersonic ASM india has ever developed(though in joint venture with russia)

on the brahmos:

It can gain a speed of Mach 2.8, and has a maximum range of 290 km. The ship-launched and land-based missiles can carry a 200 kg warhead, whereas the aircraft-launched variant (BrahMos A) can carry a 300 kg warhead. It has a two-stage propulsion system, with a solid-propellant rocket for initial acceleration and a liquid-fueled ramjet responsible for sustained supersonic cruise. Air-breathing ramjet propulsion is much more fuel-efficient than rocket propulsion, giving the BrahMos a longer range than a pure rocket-powered missile would achieve. The high speed of the BrahMos enables it to inflict more damage than slower cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk.

Although BrahMos is an anti-ship missile, it can also engage land based targets. It can be launched either in a vertical or inclined position and is capable of covering targets over a 360 degree horizon. The BrahMos missile has an identical configuration for land, sea, and sub-sea platforms. The air-launched version has a smaller booster and additional tail fins for added stability during launch. The BrahMos is currently being configured for aerial deployment with the Su-30MKI as its carrier. An expert committee from the DRDO and the Indian Air Force (IAF) has ruled out any structural modification to the advanced Su-30MKI if it is to be fitted with the supersonic BrahMos

Adding to the pot:
And the first sub-launched BrahMos test to be conducted soon..
in the next month or so.
Sources say the test vehicle will be a Kilo class sub.
