Atul Dinkar Rane, BrahMos Aerospace CEO and managing director, in a Q&A with The Week, stated that his organisation was constantly Russia as a possible marketplace for the air-launched BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, asserting that Russia at the moment has no equal in service.

“The Russian P800 Onyx missile is the precursor of the BrahMos. The BrahMos is a much better version. The P800 was produced in Russia, it still is. They moved from P800 to another area of work and they are happy. We have been continuously looking at Russia as a market for the BrahMos,” he stated.

“If they had purchased it [before the Ukraine war], they would have had a lot of things to use in the current situation,” Rane stated. “After the ongoing situation in Europe ends, we might get some orders from Russia, especially for the air-launched BrahMos,” he added.

Russia may in all probability use the BrahMos like its P-800 Onyx projectile, which is the Soviet-era precursor of BrahMos. Although the  P-800 Onyx is created as an anti-ship missile, it has been employed towards floor marks in Ukraine in addition to Syria.
