Context
India delivers first batch of BrahMos supersonic missiles to Philippines.
About
- The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile has a two-stage solid propellant booster engine as its first stage which takes it to supersonic speed.
- The second stage is the liquid ramjet engine which takes it closer to Mach 3 (3 times the speed of sound) speed in the cruise phase.
- The BrahMos missile is universal for multiple platforms and can be launched from air, land, and sea platforms.
- The missile works on the 'Fire and Forget principle', meaning it doesn't require further guidance after launch, and it maintains a high supersonic throughout the flight.
