Explanation

Statement I is correct: The BrahMos missile is a world-class supersonic cruise missile system jointly developed by India's DRDO and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya (NPOM). The joint venture was established through an inter-governmental agreement in 1998, and the missile is named after the Brahmaputra and Moskva rivers.

The venture involves the erstwhile Ordnance Factory Board (now Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited and Munitions India Limited) from the Indian side and Rosoboronexport and Kalashnikov from the Russian side.
