BrahMos is a joint product of the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and the Russian military-industrial corporation "Scientific and Production Association of Mechanical Engineering", which in 1998 organized a joint venture BrahMos Aerospace. Under the name BrahMos, the company develops and produces supersonic missiles capable of reaching speeds of more than 3000 km/h. The project is based on the Soviet development of the P-800 " Onyx "(more precisely, its export version"Yakhont"). Initially, BrahMos was developed as an anti-ship missile, but later new versions were created that can hit ground and surface targets, starting from stationary and mobile launchers located on the ground, as well as submarines, ships and aircraft.

The developers call the air-launched BrahMos missiles "the fastest supersonic cruise missiles in the world." BrahMos ALCM weighs about 2.5 tons, has a warhead weighing about 300 kg and can hit targets at a distance of up to 290 km, reaching speeds of up to 3500 km / h.
