BrahMos Missiles Draw Orders After Operation Sindoor
BrahMos missiles draw new foreign orders after Operation Sindoor, where Su-30-launched strikes hit assigned targets and boosted interest in the system.
BrahMos Aerospace co-managing director Alexander Maksichev said the successful use of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles has sharply increased foreign interest in the weapon.
According to him, the missiles played a key role in Operation Sindoor, which took place a year ago. During the brief conflict between India and Pakistan, several BrahMos missiles were launched from Su-30 fighter aircraft. Citing Indian sources, Maksichev said all of them successfully hit their assigned targets.
He said the operation helped bring the war to a rapid end and led to the signing of a relevant agreement.
Maksichev also noted that the military gave high marks to the system’s performance in real combat conditions. In his view, the results confirmed the missile’s declared characteristics and led to a rise in orders.
Earlier, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said at least 15 countries had shown interest in buying BrahMos missiles after Operation Sindoor, also pointing to their high effectiveness.
