On March 11, India successfully tested an extended range variant of its BrahMos cruise missile off its eastern coast on the Bay of Bengal. The standard BrahMos has a range of 290 km, but the new variant pushes the range beyond 400 km. The missile is capable of carrying a 300 kg high explosive warhead or submunitions and is the product of development and design collaboration between India and Russia.  India is currently looking to field air-launched, submarine-launched, and ship-based versions of the BrahMos in addition to the ground-based model currently in service.
