"BrahMos Can Be Answer For Foreign Policy": Expert At NDTV Defence Summit

The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile can be the "answer for India's foreign policy," said the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of BrahMos Aerospace, Atul Dinkar Rane. Speaking at the NDTV Defence Summit today, Mr Rane gave an assessment of India's most recognisable homegrown missile system. The BrahMos programme was conceived as a joint venture between India and Russia in the late 1990s. The missile came into sharp focus during Operation Sindoor, India's retaliatory campaign following the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in April, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people. "The craters which were seen were so dangerously, exactly the same as we had done day in, day out when we tested BrahMos. No one ever thought that it would ever be used," Mr Rane said.
