Russia’s Tactical Missiles Corporation considers the Russian-Indian BrahMos project as an ideal example of military and technical cooperation, Corporation CEO Boris Obnosov recently stated. "This is one of the examples of military and technical cooperation between the two countries, which is effective and useful for both states," the chief executive said. Speaking about the prospects of selling BrahMos missiles to third countries, the chief executive noted that such an issue was being considered but the Tactical Missiles Corporation declined to disclose any details. 

The PJ-10 BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile with the solid propellant booster. The missile was developed by the Research and Production Association of Machine-Building in the town of Reutov near Moscow and India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The missile is a modification of the Soviet anti-ship missile developed by the Reutov design bureau in the late 1980s. The BrahMos was developed in the late 1990s - the first half of the 2000s pursuant to an agreement between the governments of Russia and India signed on 12 February 1998.

The project’s name was coined using the names of India’s Brahmaputra and Russia’s Moskva rivers. The first test launch was conducted on 12 June 2001 at the Chandipur range (the state of Odisha, India). The missile’s production was organised at enterprises both in Russia and India.
