Answers
Answer:
(b) Supersonic Cruise Missile is the correct answer.
⟼ Brahmos Missile
In 1998, the Government of India signed an agreement with Russia to design, develop, manufacture and market a supersonic cruise missile system. Accordingly, the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroeyenia and India's DRDO collaborated to form the Brahmos Aerospace and jointly produce the Brahmos Missile. Brahmos is named after two rivers, Brahmaputra of India and Moskva of Russia. The Brahmos is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarine, ships, aircrafts, or land. It is the world's fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation.The missile initially travels at speed of Mach 2.8 to 3 with a range of 290 km, which later has been increased to Mach 4 with a range of 500 km after India's entry into the Missile Technology Control Regime(MTCR) as a member in 2016.
