Supersonic cruise missile Brahmos, successfully inducted into the Indian Army and Navy, will soon be deployed by Russian defence services, for which modalities are being worked out. CEO and Managing Director of Brahmos Aerospace, A. Shivathanu Pillai told reporters in Coimbatore that a high level delegation, led by the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, recently visited the company and appreciated the induction process of Brahmos missiles into the Indian Army and Navy. After discussions, it was decided to induct them into Russian services. He said, the delegation would soon work out modalities to induct them into their services, particularly the Naval fleet.

Pillai said, plans are afoot to conduct underwater tests of the submarine variant of the missile. If successful, the company would seek Government's approval for its commercial production.
