Currently, the BrahMos Aerospace and Sukhoi team is making some necessary changes and identifying the alteration needed in the missile, following which, the weapon will be introduced in the aircraft.

A two-stage missile, the BrahMos is powered by a solid propellant booster engine, and equipped with stealth technology, guidance systems and advanced embedded software.
