Aakash 2 Supply May Miss The March 31, 2013 Deadline
The submarine-launched variant of Brahmos was test fired successfully for the first time from a submerged pontoon near Visakhapatnam at the coast of Bay of Bengal on 20 March 2013. This was the first vertical launch of an Indian supersonic missile from a submerged platform.[76][77] The missile can be launched from a depth of 40 to 50 m (130 to 160 ft).[78] In late January 2016, Russia confirmed that future Indian-made submarines would be armed with smaller version of the missile that could fit inside a torpedo tube.[79]
The missile will arm the Sukhoi Su-30MKI, Mikoyan MiG-29K, HAL Tejas[198] and future inductions such as the Dassault Rafale,[19] and HAL MWF.[199] Submarine launched variant will be capable of being fired from the new P75I class of submarines.[200] A model of the new variant was showcased on 20 February 2013, at the 15th anniversary celebrations of BrahMos Corporations. The Sukhoi SU-30MKI would carry three missiles while other combat aircraft would carry one each.[201][202] 2ff7e9595c
