Q: Which of the following is a supersonic cruise missile?
  • A. Trishul
  • B. Brahmos
  • C. Akash
  • D. Prithvi
Correct Answer: Option B - The BrahMos is a medium - range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarine, ships, aircraft or land. It is the fastest supersonic cruise missile in the world. BrahMos is a two stage missile with a solid propellant booster engine as its first stage which brings it to supersonic speed and then gets separated. The liquid ramjet or the second stage then takes the missile closer to speed in cruise phase. The name BrahMos is a portmanteau formed from the names of two rivers, the Brahmputra of India and the Moskva of Russia
