BRAHMOS - India's Indispensable Deterrence Missile System

During a record number of test firings, the whole world has witnessed how BRAHMOS has completely obliterated land and sea-based targets in a flash. Such is the matchless power of this versatile weapon.

Even as cruise missiles have entered the domain of modern warfare as “weapons of choice” across many militaries, the incredible progress of BRAHMOS as the world’s most formidable precision strike weapon has fundamentally changed war dynamics in the present century. In operational service of the Indian Armed Forces, the supersonic cruise missile has deftly evolved to become India’s most powerful indigenous weapon that has massively bolstered the country’s combat capability and galvanized its deterrence posture.

The super-manoeuvrable, ‘intelligent’, quick reaction BRAHMOS operating on “fire & forget” mode boasts of a stealthy design, supersonic speed, deadly accuracy and devastating firepower. Its unique capability to be launched from ground, sea, underwater and air-based platforms has rendered an unprecedented edge to the Indian Defence Forces to launch swift, well-co-ordinated, decisive attacks on vital enemy positions and installations from ‘standoff’ ranges, thereby completely reducing them into smithereens.
