Demand grows for BrahMos missiles – Indian defense minister

The weapons were used by India against Pakistan in May and now many nations have shown an interest, Rajnath Singh has said

Around 15 nations have shown an interest in buying long-range BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, the country’s defense minister Rajnath Singh has said. The weapons were successfully used by India during its military confrontation with Pakistan in May. 

Speaking at an event on Sunday, Singh praised the “outstanding role” that the BrahMos missiles played in the conflict, which India codenamed “Operation Sindoor.”

“During Operation Sindoor, BrahMos missile achieved a miraculous feat. Now, around 14-15 countries want to have this missile,” Singh said. 

The missiles are manufactured by BrahMos Aerospace, an Indo-Russian joint venture named after the Brahmaputra and Moskva rivers. India’s Defense Research and Development Organization has a 50.5% stake in the company, while Russian NPO Mashinostroyenia holds 49.5%. BrahMos missiles, along with the Russian-manufactured S-400s played an important role in defending Indian air bases and other military installations against Pakistani strikes during the four-day conflict in May.
