Over the past few months, India has conducted a series of tests across land, air and sea. The latest test fire was launched by INS Ranvijay striking the target ship at maximum range with pinpoint accuracy in the Bay of Bengal.
News agency ANI cited the Indian Navy sources saying that during the test held today around 0925 hours, the DRDO-developed BrahMos supersonic cruise missile with a strike range of 300 Km was launched from Indian Navy’s INS Ranvijay and it successfully hit its target ship near the Car Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal.
Last month the DRDO tested the anti-submarine weapon system, in a boost to naval warfare capabilities. Even last year in May, the Indian Air Force successfully test fired the aerial version of the BrahMos missile from a Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft.

The missile trials have come at the time when India and China are engaged in a border dispute along the Line of Actual Control in Eastern Ladakh for the past few months now.
While the two neighbours are making efforts to reach to a peaceful negotiation, India is also preparing to strengthen its arms and forces on all fronts and has even tested several missiles to prove confidence over the Dragon country.
