BrahMos proved its effectiveness again during Operation Sindoor: India’s Ambassador to Russia

In a significant development after Operation Sindoor, India and Russia have continued to deepen their defence cooperation. The effectiveness of ‘Made in India’ defence equipment was decisively proven during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, Vinay Kumar, the Ambassador of India to Russia, said in an interview to a Russian publication.

“Our relations have even deepened recently. We not only buy and sell military equipment, but also engage in joint development and production of defence products. Equipment manufactured in India, including BrahMos (a supersonic anti-ship missile of joint Russian-Indian production), has repeatedly proven its effectiveness, including during the period from May 7 to 10. Therefore, I believe that our relations in this area will only develop,” Ambassador Vinay Kumar told Izvestia in an interview.
