The Indian Army on Tuesday successfully test fired BrahMos Black III, an advanced version of the BrahMos land-attack cruise missile from the Andaman and Nicobar islands.

The test was conducted in a joint cooperation of Sapta Shakti Command and Strike Corps.

The successful test not only validated the capacity of the missile to strike, but also demonstrated the missile's ability to hit the target with precision, reported The Indian Express.

The test firing of the block-III version of the missile demonstrated the weapon’s unmatched lethality of hitting the centre of a designated target with “bull’s eye” precision.
