After Operation Sindoor Success, IAF, Navy To Place Mega Orders For BrahMos Missiles
Last Updated: The procurement proposals include acquisition of the air-launched variant for Su-30MKI fighter jets in IAF, and new ship-based units for the Navy's Veer-class warships The Indian Air Force (IAF) and Navy, following the high-impact success of Operation Sindoor, are preparing to place substantial new orders for the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile—a joint Indo-Russian weapons system that played a central role in India's recent military operations. The BrahMos missile is a versatile and formidable weapon, capable of being launched from land, air and sea, enabling strikes from multiple fronts. Jointly developed by India and Russia, it is renowned for its supersonic speed, pinpoint accuracy, and adaptability across a range of military operations. During Operation Sindoor, the IAF relied on BrahMos missiles to launch a precision strike campaign targeting key Pakistani military installations, including airbases and cantonments. The operation, which was executed with high accuracy and minimal collateral damage, has been hailed within defence circles as a major demonstration of India's growing long-range strike capability. While BrahMos-equipped Navy vessels were placed on alert during the operation, they were ultimately not ordered to launch their missiles. Dr Sudhir Kumar Mishra, Ex DG (BrahMos) DRDO, had told CNN-News18 in an exclusive interview: 'Brahmos is a supersonic missile. It cannot be intercepted by the air defence systems of Pakistan and China. It cannot be intercepted by any known Defence system in the world." However, in light of the missile's battlefield performance and strategic value, top defence sources were quoted by news agency ANI as saying that the Defence Ministry is expected to approve major procurement proposals in the coming days. These include acquisition of the air-launched variant for Su-30MKI fighter jets in the IAF, and new ship-based units for the Navy's Veer-class warships. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recently praised the performance of the indigenous weapon systems in the conflict with Pakistan, saying: 'During Operation Sindoor, the world saw the capabilities of our indigenous weapons. Our Air Defence Systems, missiles, and drones have proved the strength of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', especially the Brahmos missiles." view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
