India’s BrahMos supersonic cruise missile has drawn a lot of interest from around the world after it was reportedly used in Operation Sindoor, a military operation that demonstrated its precise attack capabilities. India is now a major player in the global defence industry as a result of 17 nations expressing interest in purchasing the cutting-edge missile system.
Important Points to Note:
– BrahMos Missile Deployment: According to reports, India demonstrated its fire-and-forget capability by using BrahMos missiles to target strategic targets deep inside Pakistan.
– International Interest: Negotiations to acquire BrahMos are ongoing in a number of countries, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, South Africa, Bulgaria, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Venezuela.
– Recent Exports: In April 2025, after a $375 million defence agreement agreed in 2022, India shipped the second batch of BrahMos missiles to the Philippines.
Strategic Significance & Prognosis
In collaboration with Russia’s NPOM and India’s DRDO, the BrahMos missile was created and is renowned for its supersonic speed (Mach 3), precision targeting, and stealth technology. India’s defence capabilities and export potential are improved by the missile, which comes in land, sea, and air-based variants.
Defence experts estimate that in the upcoming years, India’s BrahMos exports could top $2 billion, bolstering its self-reliance in military technology and fortifying its global defence partnerships.
