The accuracy in mountain warfare mode was recently re-established in a campaign conducted by the Indian Army in the eastern sector last year and repeated last month, a release from BrahMos aerospace said. This formidable missile system has empowered all three wings of the armed forces with impeccable anti-ship and land attack capability.
