India in talks with eight countries for Brahmos export Nagpur, Apr 8 (KNN) India is discussing with eight countries for exporting the Brahmos missiles after getting an order from Philippines recently.

These are friendly nations located in South East Asia, Middle East and even Africa, said Atul Rane, CEO and MD of Brahmos Aerospace, an Indo-Russian joint venture, reported TOI.

He informed that there is a demand for all — land, ship and aircraft launched versions in these countries depending upon the need.

Addressing AXIS 2023, an event at the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), where he was the chief guest, Rane said the Brahmos Aerospace’s unit at Nagpur is of much importance.

It is at Nagpur where the air version of the missiles are being made.

Rane said Brahmos Aerospace is expected to start the flight trials of the new generation (NG) missile.

It is a lighter variant by the end of next year after which the production is expected to start by the end of 2025 or by 2026 depending on the requirement of the users.

The NG version will be lighter by more than 50% of the original Brahmos.

Reducing it will also increase the numbers of missiles that can be carried.

At present, it can only be carried on the Su-30 aircraft. There are plans to fit in the Tejas also, he said. (KNN Bureau)
