Nagpur/Hyderabad, June 19 (Maxim News): Russia is reportedly considering buying the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. Russia is looking to induct the state-of-the-art missile system into its armed forces. Russia is showing interest in the BrahMos missile, said BrahMos Aerospace Chief Executive Officer Jaithirtha Joshi. He was speaking to the media on the sidelines of the production of the 100th indigenous booster at Solar Industries India Limited in Nagpur. Joshi said that despite Russia’s participation in the BrahMos program, the country is interested in inducting the missile into its military.
He said that the Russian government is interested in the BrahMos issue.
