Every inch of Pakistani territory is now within the reach of India's BrahMos missiles, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday while flagging off the first batch of the weapons at the BrahMos Aerospace Production Unit in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow under the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' mission.
"What happened in Operation Sindoor was just a trailer. But that trailer itself made Pakistan realise that if India can give birth to it… I think you all understand what I mean to say."
BrahMos is not just a missile, but a symbol of India's growing indigenous capabilities, he stated. "This combination of speed, accuracy, and power makes BrahMos one of the world's best missiles. BrahMos has become the backbone of India's Army."
The BrahMos team has signed contracts worth approximately RS 4,000 crore with two countries within just one month, he revealed, adding that, in the coming years, India will see experts from other countries flock to Lucknow, making it a knowledge hub and a leader in defence technology.
"The turnover of BrahMos' Lucknow unit will be around Rs 3,000 crore from the next financial year... GST collection will be Rs 5,000 crore per year."
BrahMos, designed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and NPO Mashinostroyeniya, a Russian defence company, made a significant impact on Pakistan's military infrastructure during Operation Sindoor following the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack.
The missiles were used in a big way to hit Pakistani air bases and Army cantonments all along its length and breadth during the four-day conflict.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the performance of the indigenous weapon systems in the conflict, saying, "During Operation Sindoor, the world saw the capabilities of our indigenous weapons. Our Air Defence Systems, missiles, and drones have proved the strength of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', especially the Brahmos missiles."
In the first phase of the conflict, when India launched attacks on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, including the terror headquarters of Jaish e Mohammed and Lashkar e Toiba in Pakistani Punjab province, the BrahMos missile was the main weapon of choice for the Indian Air Force, which hit targets with great precision.
The BrahMos caused further damage to Pakistani air bases, and hence the Pakistan Army tried to retaliate, protecting the terrorists and their infrastructure.
