India said the world’s fastest cruise missile passed another key test yesterday when it successfully hit a land target after being fired from a fighter jet.

India is developing the supersonic BrahMos missile -- which has a top speed of 3,450 kilometres (2,140 miles) per hour -- with Russia, and according to media reports wants to soon start selling it abroad. The missile is one and a half times faster than the old Concorde supersonic jet.
