Received flight map information
Babar said- Our team has traced the flight route of this missile. This is a very dangerous step, because at the time when this missile was fired, there were many flights operational in the airspace of India and Pakistan and a major accident could have happened. Give a direct answer on this matter from India. Earlier his submarines were seen near Karachi.
which was the missile
Pakistani journalist Mohammad Ibrahim Qazi claimed on social media that the name of the missile launched from India is BrahMos. Its range is 290 km. The Indian Air Force keeps its stock in Sriganganagar, Rajasthan. However, the Pakistani army claims that this missile was fired from Sirsa in Haryana.
Have a look at BrahMos
BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile, which can be launched from submarine, ship, aircraft or land. The name of the BrahMos missile is derived from the names of the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva rivers of Russia.
BrahMos is based on Russia's P-800 Oakins cruise missile technology. This missile has been handed over to the three wings of the Indian Army, Army, Navy and Air Force.
There are several versions of the BrahMos missile. The land-launched, ship-launched, submarine-launched air-launched versions of BrahMos have been tested.
When fired from land or sea, BrahMos can decimate its target at a speed of Mach 2 above (2500 km/h) in a range of 290 km.
The BrahMos missile can be launched from a submarine from a depth of 40-50 meters under water. The test launch of the BrahMos missile from a submarine was done in 2013.
