00:00What makes India's Brahmos missile system a game-changer in modern warfare?
00:13Well, it combines speed, accuracy, range and versatility.
00:17It has proven its strategic value in both combat and deterrence.
00:21Defence Minister Rajnath Singh virtually inaugurated the Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile Production Unit
00:26in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh on May 11, 2025.
00:30The facility is a part of the Defense Industrial Corridor Initiative.
00:34Built at a cost of Rs. 300 crore,
00:37this new unit is expected to produce 80 to 100 Brahmos missiles every year.
00:42But the bigger development is the arrival of the next-generation Brahmos.
00:50The state-of-the-art unit will produce 100 to 150 next-gen missiles
00:55which are lighter, more agile and boast a range of 300 km.
01:00But what exactly makes Brahmos a game-changer and why does it give India an edge?
01:05Named after the Brahmaputra and Moscow rivers,
01:07Brahmos was born from a 1998 Indo-Russian partnership
01:11with a $250 million investment, 50.5% from India.
01:16Developed by DRDO and Rocket Design Bureau under Brahmos Aerospace,
01:20the missile saw its first successful launch at the Chandipur Test Range in June 2001.
01:26After which, it was inducted into the Navy in 2005, Army in 2007
01:30and later took flight with the IAF's Sukhoi-30 MKI in 2017.
01:35But what makes it lethal?
01:37The Brahmos is a two-state supersonic cruise missile.
01:40It follows the fire and forget principle requiring no retargeting once launched.
01:45Its stealth technology, precision navigation and adaptive flight paths
01:49make it extremely hard to intercept.
01:51Compared to subsonic missiles,
01:53Brahmos has three times more speed,
01:552.5 to three times more flight range,
01:58three to four times seeker range
02:00and nine times kinetic impact energy.
02:03Brahmos isn't just a missile.
02:05It's India's edge in modern warfare and a message to the world.
02:08Precise, powerful and future ready.
02:15So, consider this new engine to overcome these
02:21Mainly for the use of airplanes.
02:22It'll have many loops through multiple bitte per hour and a message.
