• The land-to-land configuration of Brahmos missile was launched from a mobile autonomous launcher

NEW DELHI: The Indian Army on Tuesday successfully test fired an advanced version of the Brahmos land-attack cruise missile in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, revalidating the weapon's strike capability.
The land-to-land configuration of Brahmos missile was launched from a mobile autonomous launcher (MAL).
The test firing of the block-III version of the missile demonstrated the weapon's unmatched lethality of hitting the centre of a designated target with "bull's eye" precision, a senior army officer said here.

He said the supersonic cruise missile successfully hit the land-based target with desired precision in a "top attack configuration", meeting all flight parameters in a copybook manner.

The test firing involved high level and complex manoeuvering by the missile, said the official.

Top attack? Nice.

Excellent for destroying Porky and Chinky posts and their gun positions on reverse slopes of mountains.

There will be no place to run....No place to hide!
