Apart from India, another country has Brahmos missile, which it has bought from India. The BrahMos missile is considered so powerful (strategically and technologically advanced) because it is one of the world's fastest supersonic cruise missiles, and it has many features that make it special. It travels almost three times faster than the speed of sound. It can fly at very low altitude (up to 10 meters) to avoid enemy radar. It can destroy enemy bunkers, radar stations, and warships in a single strike. It is equipped with anti-jamming and electronic warfare capabilities, allowing it to find its way despite electronic interference. Advertisement === Why does Russia not have Brahmos? Russia does not have the BrahMos missile because although this missile is a joint venture between India and Russia, its production and operational use has been primarily done by India.
