This missile will need more tests because even though it can hit targets at up to 450km, tests so far have only seen the validation of the missile up to 260km.

&lt;p id='p_1'&gt;The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully tested for the first time from a Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jet on November 22, on a sea-based target in the Bay of Bengal. The missile&amp;nbsp;is a joint venture between India's Defence Research and Development Organisation and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya (NPOM) Corporation.&lt;/p&gt;
