Used in Operation Sindoor: IAF, Navy to place big order for BrahMos missile; what makes it crucial
In a major boost to defence, India is planning to place large-scale orders for BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, which dealt a heavy blow to Pakistani military infrastructure during Operation Sindoor . Top officials told ANI that the defence ministry is expected to soon clear a major procurement proposal for the BrahMos missile system, a joint Indo-Russian venture, to arm Navy's Veer-class warships and the Air Force's Su-30MKI fighter jets. The order will also cover ground and air-launched variants, underlining India's push for rapid force augmentation in the aftermath of the recent conflict, according to a report from news agency ANI. The BrahMos, known for its precision and speed, played a pivotal role in India's four-day offensive, targeting Pakistani air bases, Army cantonments, and terror hubs across the border. In the first wave, Air Force used the missile to take out key terrorist infrastructures, including Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters in Pakistan and PoK. PM Modi recently hailed the performance of BrahMos used during the operation, 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." With this procurement, India signals both a strategic upgrade of its missile arsenal and a reinforcement of its indigenous defence production, positioning the BrahMos as the centrepiece of its deterrence doctrine in a region fraught with volatility.

Post-Op Sindoor, IAF, Navy to place mega orders for BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles
NEW DELHI: Soon after they caused significant damage to Pakistani military infrastructure during Operation Sindoor, Indian forces are placing mega orders for the Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles. Top defence sources told ANI that a high-level defence ministry meeting is expected to give clearance to the procurement of a large number of BrahMos missiles for the Indian Navy warships, along with ground and air-launched versions of these weapons for the Indian Air Force soon. The missiles were used in a big way to hit Pakistani air bases and Army cantonments all along its length and breadth during the four-day conflict. The Navy would be using the missiles for equipping its Veer-class warships while the Indian Air Force would be using them to equip its Russian-origin Su-30 MKI fighter jet fleet, the sources said. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the performance of the indigenous weapon systems in the conflict, 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." In the first phase of the conflict, when India launched attacks on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, including the terror headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Toiba in Pakistani Punjab province, the BrahMos missile was the main weapon of choice for the Indian Air Force, which hit targets with great precision. The BrahMos caused further damage to Pakistani air bases, and hence the Pakistan Army tried to retaliate, protecting the terrorists and their infrastructure.
