Flight testing for India's next-generation BrahMos-NG cruise missile, developed in collaboration with Russia, is set to commence by late 2025. BrahMos Export Director Pravin Pathak revealed this development at the World Defense Show, citing no hindrances to meeting the stated deadlines. The new missile, expected to be lighter and stealthier, will bolster India's cruise missile capability against evolving security threats. With orders worth $7 billion in its portfolio, the BrahMos joint venture seeks further market expansion. Military analysts anticipate enhanced combat potential for Indian jets, including integration into indigenous aircraft like the LCA Tejas.
