Extended-range BrahMos missile costs under $5 mn

On Thursday, the MoD announced that the Navy had ordered the ship-borne version of the supersonic BrahMos "at an overall approximate cost of $1,700 crore under the Buy-Indian category".

The announcement revealed that the BrahMos missile systems being acquired were "dual role capable," meaning that they could destroy targets on land, while also having the ability to strike enemy warships.

The MoD did not reveal the number of missiles procured through the latest contract.

However, this information was inadvertently revealed through an official MoD photograph that accompanied the announcement.
