India’s ‘Brahmastra’ can destroy Turkey within 6 minutes! This deadly weapon is capable of…, name is…
India-Pakistan tensions: Turkey, along with China, were among the few nations that openly supported Pakistan during its recent conflict with India, supplying our hostile neighbour with advanced military drones that were used to launch attacks on Indian cities and military installations as India-Pakistan tensions reached a critical point post Operation Sindoor.
Even after an India-Pakistan ceasefire came into force on Saturday, Pakistan violated the ‘bilateral understanding’ within a few hours of the announcement, reportedly using Turkish-made drones. On Wednesday, Turkey reiterated its stance, stating that it stand with Pakistan in its ongoing tensions with India.
India-Turkey war
But what if India is forced go toe-to-toe with Turkey in a conflict, a formidable military power of its own. Military experts believe India has devastating weapons, including the lethal Agni V Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), which has a range of over 5,000 kms, and is capable of travelling at speeds of up to 29,400 km/h, making it one of the fastest missiles in the world.
Comparing the armed forces of the two countries, the Indian Air Force is a highly-professional force with a fleet of 2,229 aircraft, including 513 fighter jets, while the Turkish air force lags behind with 1,083 aircraft, that includes, 201 fighter planes.
Beyond armed forces, India has deadly supersonic missiles like the BrahMos and Agni series, which can bring any nation to knees within a a span of days, as was witnessed in the recent conflict with Pakistan.
India’s ‘Brahmastra’ could devastate Turkey
Dubbed the ‘Brahmastra’ of India’s missile arsenal, the Agni V missile is a land-based nuclear MIRV-capable ICBM boasting a range of over 7,000 kilometers. Given that the aerial distance between India and Turkey is around 4,565 km. The Agni V missile, which is capable of reaching speeds of up to 29,400 km/hour, can strike any part of Turkey, even its capital Ankara, within a matter of minutes.
Developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Agni V is the longest-range ICBM in New Delhi’s arsenal, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead weighing up to a whopping 1000 kg
BrahMos can be used against Turkey
The BrahMos Supersonic missile recently demonstrated how devastating they can be as these deadly missiles razed key Pakistani airbases and military bases during Operation Sindoor, forcing the enemy to virtually beg for a ceasefire. The BrahMos is a medium-range cruise missile with a range between 450 to 600 kilometers, and can be launched from land, air, and sea.
India could potentially use this missile against a far away nemesis like Turkey by launching it from an aircraft carrier or warship in the sovereign waters of another country which lies close to Ankara.
