The collaborative project, which began in 1998, includes Russia’s Mashinostroyeniye Company and the Indian Defense Ministry’s Defense Research and Development Organization. Interfax-AVN quotes Aleksandr Maksichev, acting general director of Mashinostroyeniye, as stating, “Tests of the BrahMos missile have been successfully completed, and the first customer is the Indian navy. Serial manufacture has begun in Russia and India.” The initial batch of BrahMos missiles will number approximately 70. Maksichev emphasized that the BrahMos is an all-purpose missile: “The basic model is anti-ship but it could also be adapted for use against land targets.
