BrahMos
Eyes Lighter Version of Missiles For Indian HAL Tejas & Sukhoi Fighter Jets

Russian Indian venture BrahMos Aerospace is planning to develop a lighter
version of its missile but with similar operational characteristics, BrahMos co
director Alexander Maksichev told Sputnik.
We now want
to make a missile with the same characteristics but of a smaller size. This
work is planned. If it is smaller, then it will probably be on Sukhoi planes, and
if it fits Tejas Indian single-engine multirole light fighter, then it will be
just wonderful.
