About this stamp
On the Stamp
A BrahMos missile in flight, with a fighter aircraft behind it, on the ₹5 stamp.
BrahMos
India Post issued two stamps, ₹5 and ₹20, and a ₹25 miniature sheet on 22 December 2008 on BrahMos, the supersonic cruise missile developed jointly by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyeniya. Its name joins those of two rivers, the Brahmaputra and the Moskva. It can be launched from ships, submarines, aircraft and land. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
