BrahMos Missile System Acquisition by Indonesia

Traveling at 2.8 to 3 Mach (three times the speed of sound), its name BrahMos is derived from the Brahmaputra (India) and Moskva (Russia) rivers (Memory Tip: 'Brah' for Brahmaputra and 'Mos' for Moskva). With a normal range of 290 km and a new variant extending to 400-450 km, it operates on a "Fire and Forget" principle. The BrahMos Aerospace Centre in Lucknow develops it.
