India is planning to place a large order for BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, ANI has reported.

The missile can be launched from ships, submarines, land, and air-based missile systems.

New Delhi has traditionally relied heavily on Moscow for equipment and technology.
India and Russia have hinted at new projects that would entail technology transfers for aviation, naval, and missile platforms as India pushes to boost domestic manufacturing under its 'Make in India' initiative.
