According to defence sources, the agreements are in the final stages and are expected to be signed soon, with additional demand anticipated as more countries express interest in the missile.
The missile’s recent presence at the Dubai Air Show attracted significant attention from potential buyers. Following its effective deployment against Pakistan, the Indian defence ministry approved a substantial procurement plan for the Navy, along with air and ground-launched versions for the Indian Air Force. During the four-day confrontation, BrahMos missiles targeted Pakistani air bases and military cantonments across the country.
The Indian Navy intends to integrate the missile into its Veer-class warships, while the Indian Air Force plans to equip its Su-30 MKI fleet with air-launched variants.
Several months earlier, the Indian Prime Minister commended the performance of indigenous weapon systems during the conflict, stating that Operation Sindoor demonstrated the capability of India’s homegrown defence technology, particularly the BrahMos system.
In the initial phase of the confrontation, India targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, including facilities linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Punjab province.
The BrahMos missile served as the primary strike weapon for the Indian Air Force, delivering high-precision hits.
The damage caused to Pakistani air bases prompted attempts by the Pakistan Army to retaliate in support of the terrorist groups and their assets.
