Supersonic cruise missile BrahMos scored once again in its 34th launch off Visakhapatnam, hitting a decommissioned vessel with accuracy. As it took off vertically from a naval warship, reached an altitude of 14km, levelled out and started cruising at three times the speed of sound, it performed “a double manoeuvre in S-form” and hit the decommissioned ship, about 290 km away. “The sheer velocity and power of the hit made the missile rip through the ship’s hull,” said a release from BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited.
