India makes world's fastest cruise missile "For all the American hype about

Tomahawks, the fact is that they fly much slower than sound. BrahMos, India's

true brahmastra, would fly three times faster than the Tomahawk and is three to

sleeker the missile, the smaller it appears on an enemy radar. Not only would

the missile have a very low radar signature, but it also has electronic

counter-measures."
