Navy successfully test-fires Brahmos missile off Goa

Panaji, Oct 7 (PTI) Enhancing lethality of its fire power, the Navy today successfully test-fired a highly- manoeuvrable version of the 290-km range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from a warship off the Goa coast.

"The cruise missile was test-fired from guided missile frigate INS Teg--the Indian Navy's latest induction from Russia off the coast of Goa early this morning," sources told PTI.

The missile, which was fired without a warhead, hit the target ship after performing intricate manoeuvres, they said.
