India's 'Brahmastra' can destroy Turkey within 6 minutes! This deadly weapon is capable of..., name is...
India-Pakistan tensions: Turkey, along with China, were among the few nations that openly supported Pakistan during its recent conflict with India, supplying our hostile neighbour with advanced military drones that were used to launch attacks on Indian cities and military installations as India-Pakistan tensions reached a critical point post Operation Sindoor.
Even after an India-Pakistan ceasefire came into force on Saturday, Pakistan violated the 'bilateral understanding' within a few hours of the announcement, reportedly using Turkish-made drones. On Wednesday, Turkey reiterated its stance, stating that it stand with Pakistan in its ongoing tensions with India. India-Turkey war
But what if India is forced go toe-to-toe with Turkey in a conflict, a formidable military power of its own. Military experts believe India has devastating weapons, including the lethal Agni V Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), which has a range of over 5,000 kms, and is capable of travelling at speeds of up to 29,400 km/h, making it one of the fastest missiles in the world.
Comparing the armed forces of the two countries, the Indian Air Force is a highly-professional force with a fleet of 2,229 aircraft, including 513 fighter jets, while the Turkish air force lags behind with 1,083 aircraft, that includes, 201 fighter planes.
Beyond armed forces, India has deadly supersonic missiles like the BrahMos and Agni series, which can bring any nation to knees within a a span of days, as was witnessed in the recent conflict with Pakistan. India's 'Brahmastra' could devastate Turkey
Dubbed the 'Brahmastra' of India's missile arsenal, the Agni V missile is a land-based nuclear MIRV-capable ICBM boasting a range of over 7,000 kilometers. Given that the aerial distance between India and Turkey is around 4,565 km. The Agni V missile, which is capable of reaching speeds of up to 29,400 km/hour, can strike any part of Turkey, even its capital Ankara, within a matter of minutes.
Developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Agni V is the longest-range ICBM in New Delhi's arsenal, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead weighing up to a whopping 1000 kg BrahMos can be used against Turkey
The BrahMos Supersonic missile recently demonstrated how devastating they can be as these deadly missiles razed key Pakistani airbases and military bases during Operation Sindoor, forcing the enemy to virtually beg for a ceasefire. The BrahMos is a medium-range cruise missile with a range between 450 to 600 kilometers, and can be launched from land, air, and sea.
India could potentially use this missile against a far away nemesis like Turkey by launching it from an aircraft carrier or warship in the sovereign waters of another country which lies close to Ankara.

Marco Rubio meets Ishaq Dar, thanks Pak's 'partnership in countering terrorism'
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday met Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who is in Washington to discuss bilateral ties between US and Pakistan. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio (R) meets Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar(X/@SecRubio) The US official shared some details of what the two leaders spoke about, adding that he thanked Ishaq Dar for "Pakistan's partnership in countering terrorism and preserving regional stability". He also said that the two discussed expanding bilateral trade and enhancing collaboration in the minerals sector. Rubio's remarks come just days after he announced that the US would designate TRF, a front for Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), as both a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). The front had claimed responsibility for the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, that left 26 civilians dead. Islamabad had earlier said that the India-Pakistan ties would come up for a discussion during Ishaq Dar's visit to Washington. "Exchange of views will also take place on the Pakistan-India question," Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said on Thursday. The US has time and again claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, a claim New Delhi has denied multiple times, but Islamabad as accepted. "We remain grateful for the role played by the US in de-escalation of tensions leading to ceasefire,' Khan had said, briefing on Ishaq Dar's US visit agenda. India's stance on Pak harbouring terror India has long maintained that the Pakistan government and army is involved in cross-border terrorism, and funds and harbours terrorist groups. Days after the Pahalgam attack and India's Operation Sindoor launched in retaliation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address had said, 'While India believes in tourism, Pakistan considers terrorism as tourism, which is very dangerous for the world." He had also called terrorism a means of making monetary gains for the Pakistan government and army, urging the Pakistani population to fight against terror. 'While India believes in tourism, Pakistan considers terrorism as tourism, which is very dangerous for the world. I want to ask the people of Pakistan — what have they achieved? Today, India is the fourth largest economy in the world. But what is your situation? Those who promoted terrorism ruined your future,' PM Modi had said. Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, targeting terrorists and terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The following days saw a big military escalation between India and Pakistan, triggered by the targeting of army bases in India. A ceasefire was announced between both countries on May 10.
