The BrahMos missile from India has gained widespread attention after being used in Operation Sindoor, a military action that showed how accurately it can hit targets. This has helped India become a key player in the global defense market. Already, 17 countries have shown interest in buying this advanced missile system.
Key points include:
- Deployment of BrahMos: Reports say India used BrahMos missiles to hit important targets deep inside Pakistan, proving its ability to strike quickly and without guidance after launch.
- Global Interest: Many countries, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, South Africa, Bulgaria, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Venezuela, are in talks to buy BrahMos.
- Recent Shipments: In April 2025, India sent the second batch of BrahMos missiles to the Philippines. This followed a defense deal worth $375 million signed in 2022.
Strategic Importance and Future Outlook
The BrahMos missile was developed jointly by India’s DRDO and Russia’s NPOM. It is known for its speed (Mach 3), precision, and quiet operation. The missile is available for land, sea, and air use, boosting India’s military strength and export potential.
Experts estimate that BrahMos exports could reach over $2 billion in the next few years. This will help India become more self-reliant in military technology and strengthen its defense ties around the world.
