This meeting will be chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and will include key military leaders and senior officials. The BrahMos missile, named after the rivers Brahmaputra and Moscow, has a range of 300 km and was developed through a collaboration between India and Russia nearly three decades ago.
The Indian Army is expected to receive a larger share of these missiles compared to the Air Force. The DAC will also address other important topics, including the refit of a submarine and the acquisition of ship-launched torpedoes and anti-aircraft missiles. In recent years, India has emphasized self-reliance in defence procurement, favouring deals with significant Indian content.Notably, India has also begun exporting BrahMos missiles, with recent sales to the Philippines marking a milestone in its defence export strategy.
This deal not only aims to enhance India’s military capabilities but also positions it as a competitive player in the global defence market.
