India will strictly observes the inter-governmental agreement between Russia and India, limiting the range supersonic missile "BrahMos" under 300 kilometers, so there is a limited range of Brahmos will not be increased. This was assured to the Russian Journalists Executive Director by ”BrahMos Aerospace” from the Indian side Sivathanu Pillai. Responding to a question, he said that India has signed with Russia intergovernmental agreement, pledging not to increase the maximum firing range missile “BrahMos”, which is 300 km. However, the head of the company said that the joint Russian-Indian company is actively working to improve the missile “BrahMos” in other ways. “The development of technology in the field of missile technology goes very quickly, including at the theater, where India, and we can not keep up,” – said Pillay. In particular, the “work is being done in the direction of improving the accuracy of fire, increasing its capacity to overcome electronic warfare and air defense systems, increasing the speed of flight. These are all questions we carefully consider both individually and comprehensively. “ “We are working on systems that would have a high reliability and a long service life with the possibility of extension. All of these systems with high performance must be integrated into a single product – a missile “BrahMos”, – said Pillay. “We are working to improve the rocket, remembering that the most important thing for us – our customers, which are the Army, Air Force and the Indian Navy,” – said the head of the Indian side.
