India, Russia set to boost BrahMos missile partnership during Putin's visit
Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting India on December 4, and a big topic on the table is the next phase of BrahMos missiles—these are the supersonic ones that proved to be the game changer during Operation Sindoor with Pakistan.
India is looking at lighter versions like BrahMos NG for fighter jets and ways to extend the missile's range.
What else is happening?
India and Russia are also talking about new hypersonic missiles and likely to clear the deal for 280 missiles of the S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defense missile system, which have already proven their worth in action.
On top of that, India's defense exports are picking up speed, with successful BrahMos deals in the Philippines and more potential buyers across Asia.
This partnership keeps growing stronger—and it's helping both countries level up their defense game.
