The Indian Ministry of Defense’s (MoD) research arm, the Defense Research Development

Organization (DRDO), has test fired an anti-ship variant of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile at

the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur along the coast of Odisha.

The missile was reportedly launched around noon local time from the launch-complex-3 of the ITR.

In late May, an Indian Army unit of the service’s Eastern Command last test launched a BrahMos

surface-to-surface variant from Car Nicobar Island, the northernmost of the Nicobar Islands.The

BrahMos is a derivative of the Russian-made P-800 Oniks over-the-horizon supersonic anti-ship

cruise missile with a range estimated at between 300 to 400 kilometers. It is thought to be one of the

world’s fastest cruise missiles currently in operational use.The land-launched and sea-launched

variants of the BrahMos are already in service with the Indian Army and Navy respectively. An air-

launched variant is expected to become operational by the end of 2018 with the Indian Air Force. An

air-launched variant of the BrahMos is expected to become operational this year. Notably, the Indian

Air Force (IAF) test fired an air-launched BrahMos-A supersonic cruise missile from a Sukhoi Su-

30MKI fighter on May 22. The missile was first flight tested from a Sukhhoi Su-30 in November

2017 over the Bay of Bengal.

Former Indian President Pratibha Patil has been conferred the "Orden Mexicana del Aguila Azteca"

(Order of the Aztec Eagle) - the highest civilian award of Mexico given to foreigners on Saturday.

The Ambassador of Mexico to India, Melba Pria, conferred the award on Patil - who created history

as this country's first woman President (2007-2012), at a special ceremony held in the MCCIA

Bhavan, Pune.

Patil, 85, becomes only the second Indian head of state to get the award. Earlier, the late President S.

Radhakrishnan had been conferred this honour.

Mexico's highest distinction for foreigners is in recognition of their outstanding services to the

Mexican nation or humanity, significant contributions to strengthening the bilateral relations

between Mexico and other countries, said an official spokesperson.

The royal eagle is Mexico's national animal, sacred to the ancient Aztecs and it is present on the

National Emblem of the Mexican flag.

"It is an essential symbol that links their Aztec past with the modern nation. It is of gold and

turquoise and is given to express the respect and admiration of the Mexican people,"
