Operation Sindoor, India's rapid and precise military retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attacks, has significant boosted the international reputation of Indian-made weapons particularly the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.
Widely known as the world's fastest "fire-and-forget" cruise missile, BrahMos played a decisive role in India's stike capabilities during the operation, drawing the attention of global buyers.
What is Brahmos and Why It Stands Out Globally
Supersonic cruise missile (jointly developed by India's DRDO and Russia's NPOM), speed is 2.8-3.0 Mach (nearly 3 times the speed of sound), Range is Originally 290 km, now extended to 450 km, with a new variant tested to raech 800 km and mode of opertion are Land-to-land, Sea-to-Sea, Sea-to-land and Air-to-ground.
This missile has fire-and-forget capability, pinpoint accuracy (CEP of less than 1 meter), supersonic speed reducing enemy reaction time and compatibility with multiple platform Ships, Submarines, Aircraft (Su-30MKI) and mobile launchers.
During Operation Sindoor India used precision strikes involving BrahMos to destroy key enemy infrastucture in POK and Balochistan. The missile's performance under real war-like conditions validated its reliability and lethality, and as per military analysts, targets were neutralized within minutes, leaving no time for enemy interception.
This demonstration of rapid and accurate offensive capability impressed several foreign military observers.
Following countries are in line to purchase of BrahMos Missile:
Vietnam: It includes shore-based and air-launched variants and is seen as a deterrent in the South China Sea against China. The contract is nearing finalization, with an approximate value of $700 million.
Philippines: First country to receive BrahMos in April 2024 and second batch delivered April 2025. Conract worth $375 million for three batteries.
Indonesia: It sounds like you're discussing ongoing negotiations related to a significant financial deal, possibly involving international relations or trade, that has been influenced by recent high-level diplomatic visits. The mention of a potential deal in the range of $200-$350 million suggests that the discussions are serious but not yet finalized.
Malaysia: The BrahMos missile, a supersonic cruise missile developed by India and Russia, is known for its speed and precision. Integrating it with the Su-30MKM, which is a variant of the Su-30MKI tailored for the Malaysian Air Force, would enhance the aircraft's strike capabilities significantly. Additionally, integrating BrahMos with naval vessels would bolster maritime defense and offensive operations.
Thailand, Singapore and Brunei: Exploring ship-based or coastal versions to secure maritime routes.
Egypt: The active negotiations to bolster security in the Red Sea and Suez Canal through the integration of ship-launched BrahMos missiles highlight a strategic move to enhance maritime security in a critical global shipping route. The Suez Canal is one of the busiest maritime passages, and ensuring its security is vital for international trade.
Saudi Arabia: Interested in coastal defense and missile batteries along Red Sea.
UAE: Evaluating BrahMos for rapid respose naval platforms.
Oman & Qatar: Looking to intergate with modern naval fleets.
For countering Iran-backed asymmetric threats (Yemen, Red Sea) and reducing overreliance on Western weaponary amid strained Western ties post-Gaza conflict.
Brazil: Intrested in naval variant for Amazon River and Atlantic protection.
Argentina: Potential to integrate to BrahMos into Modernization of aging fleet.
South Africa: Cosidering use for navy and coastal bases near Cape of good hope.
Bulgaria: May buy to modernize Soviet-era missile system amid NATO realignment.
The establishment of a new BrahMos production unit in Lucknow, with a capacity to produce 100 missiles annually, represents a significant step forward for India's defense manufacturing capabilities. This move is likely aimed at meeting both domestic defense needs and enhancing export potential.
India is actively integrating defense deals into bilateral summits with Vietnam, Egypt and Brazil. And government aim to make $5 billion in defense exports by 2025, with BrahMos as the flagship product.
India offers limited ToT (Transfer of Technology) options to key allies and allows configuration of BrahMos to suit different platforms, terrains and doctrines.
India actively promoting BrahMos through Defense Expos (Defxpo, IDEX), line of credit to smaller countries and training foregen military personnel in India.
Geopolitical and Strategic implications
Challenge to Chinese and Western dominance in defense exports in the global South. India positioned as a relaible alternative to western system that often come with political strings attached.
Expansion of BrahMos sales strengthens India's military diplomatic axis in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America And counter to China's military export ecosystem, especially in nation where Chinese-origin missile like C-802 and HQ-series are present.
