According to information published by Tass on August 2, 2022, Myanmar might purchase Russian-Indian BrahMos supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, which are being manufactured by the two countries’ joint venture BrahMos Aerospace, by borrowing money from the Indian government.
BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile manufactured by BrahMos Aerospace — a joint Russian-Indian venture. It was designed by the Russian NPO Mashinostroyenia in partnership with the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). The missile’s first test launch took place in 2001, and today its various versions are operated by the Indian Air Force, Navy, and Army.
The company is based in New Delhi. The nametag “BrahMos” is formed by combining the names of two rivers — the Brahmaputra in India and the Moskva in Russia.
According to open source intelligence, the Myanmar Navy already has five types of anti-ship cruise missiles: the Chinese-made C-801, C-802, C-802A, HY-2, and the Russian-made Kh-35U.
