The Combat missile was test fired on a specially designed target chosen at a range of 270 Km, thus validating deep penetration capability by the supersonic cruise missile and accurate engagement of targets in depth.
The launch of the BrahMos missile involved coordination with a large number of agencies for successful and smooth conduct of firing. It was a cohesive effort of all three services demonstrating high standards of Inter-Service Synergy.
