IAF to Acquire 110 BrahMos-A Missiles for Enhanced Strike Power

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to enhance its standoff strike capability by acquiring 110 BrahMos-A supersonic cruise missiles, following their successful debut during “Operation Sindoor,” where they effectively targeted Pakistan Air Force infrastructure. This acquisition, valued at $7.64 billion, also includes 87 advanced drones, marking a significant step in modernizing India’s military. The BrahMos-A, with a range exceeding 450 km and a top speed of Mach 3, provides IAF pilots with the ability to engage high-value targets from a safe distance. This procurement demonstrates India’s commitment to strengthening its defense posture amidst evolving regional security dynamics.
