Imphal<\/em>, the Indian Navy’s latest indigenous guided missile destroyer, scored a bull’s eye in her maiden Brahmos firing at sea.<\/p>\n

According to the Indian Navy, this was the first ever test-firing of the extended-range Brahmos missile by a warship before commissioning.<\/p>\n

The Imphal<\/em> is the Indian Navy’s third ship of the Visakhapatnam-class stealth guided missile destroyer and is amongst the most technologically advanced warships in the world.<\/p>\n

Imphal<\/em>‘s keel was laid on May 19, 2017, and the ship was launched into water on April 20, 2019.<\/p>\n

The ship sailed out for her maiden sea trials on April 28, 2023, and, ever since, has undergone a comprehensive schedule of trials in the harbour and at sea, leading up to its delivery within a record timeframe of only six months.<\/p>\n
