BrahMos performance during Operation Sindoor boosts global interestThe BrahMos missile's reported performance during Operation Sindoor has increased international interest in India's supersonic cruise missile. India had earlier signed a $375-million agreement with the Philippines in January 2022 to supply three BrahMos missile batteries. Following Operation Sindoor, negotiations with other prospective buyers also gathered pace. The team studied an engine that powered a Russian cruise missile, with Russian authorities willing to share the technology with India. The engine was used to power Russia’s Onyx supersonic cruise missile, while work was underway to further refine the missile system.
