Pokhran (Raj), Nov 7: Indian army on Saturday test fired the nearly 300-km-range Brahmos supersonic land attack cruise missile here successfully.
The missile was test launched by a Mobile Autonomous Launcher (MAL) deployed in full configuration.
The test-fire, carried out in the user-deployment configuration by trained army personnel, met all the mission objectives, army said.
The Army has already inducted three regiments of Brahmos in its arsenal. All are equipped with Block-III version of missile, which was tested on May 8 and 9 this year.
The Missile has the capability to take on surface-based targets by flying a combined high-low trajectory, thus evading enemy air defence systems.
