Russia, India in joint drone project

Russia and India are mulling a project for a recoverable rocket-firing drone based on their BraMos cruise missile. Engineers from the two sides started discussing the proposal at a meeting in New Delhi on Monday.

The drone will be capable of delivering heavy explosive payloads to targets thousands of kilometres away from its home base.

It means India and Russia will soon start development of a high supersonic,long range UCAV which will make use of technology(most probably ramjet propultion)taken from Brahmos ashm.

I believe similar to Lakshaya Drone.

I believe similar to Lakshaya Drone.

Can you please make it more clear please?Because last time I checked Lakshya was a subsonic, unmanned target drone not a high supersonic,long range ramjet powered UCAV,or am I missing something?Or are you talking about the concept of rocket assisted launching and parasuit recovery?Please elaborate.
THANX in advance....
