At Aero India 2025, BrahMos Corporation made waves by showcasing the BrahMos-NG Air-Launched Anti-Radiation Missile for the first time. This new variant, currently under development for the Indian Air Force (IAF), promises to bring advanced capabilities to India’s fleet of fighter jets, with enhanced range, speed, and precision. According to sources close to the program, this next-generation missile could significantly boost the IAF’s strike capability against radar and communication systems.
The BrahMos-NG is a smaller, lighter variant of the world-renowned BrahMos missile, renowned for its supersonic speed and devastating precision. The NG version, weighing in at just 1.3 tons, retains the impressive Mach 3.5 speed, capable of delivering a highly effective strike against targets up to 300 km away. The missile’s small size and powerful performance make it a perfect fit for integration into various fighter jet platforms, providing a flexible solution for IAF’s operational needs.
The BrahMos-NG Air-Launched Anti-Radiation Missile variant is designed to specifically target enemy radar and communication systems, a crucial capability for suppressing air defense networks during combat. This version of the missile offers a significant tactical advantage by being able to neutralize enemy defense systems without the need for direct visual targeting, utilizing radar homing to lock onto and destroy the enemy’s electromagnetic assets.
One of the most exciting aspects of the BrahMos-NG is its interoperability. As confirmed by idrw.org, the missile can be integrated into any fighter jet fleet within the IAF, significantly enhancing the overall operational flexibility of India’s air combat forces. Whether deployed on front-line multirole fighters or specialized aircraft, the BrahMos-NG will be able to deliver precision strikes against critical enemy infrastructure.
Although the BrahMos-NG is still under development, the missile has already captured the attention of military experts and defense analysts worldwide. According to sources within BrahMos Corporation, the first test firing of the BrahMos-NG is expected to take place by mid or late 2026. The ongoing development efforts are focused on refining the missile’s capabilities and ensuring its compatibility with the various fighter jets that will carry it into battle.
The introduction of the BrahMos-NG Air-Launched Anti-Radiation Missile to the IAF will significantly strengthen India’s defense capabilities, adding an essential tool for electronic warfare and precision strikes. With its long-range, high-speed capabilities, and versatile integration into multiple fighter platforms, the BrahMos-NG will be a formidable addition to the IAF’s arsenal.
