In the post-Operation Sindoor scenario, where BrahMos wreaked havoc on Pakistani military installations, the widely acclaimed Indo-Russian missile has seen its stock surge manifold, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday confirming that around 14-15 nations have shown interest in acquiring the projectile from India. He mentioned that the BrahMos missile would now be exported from Lucknow as well. Interestingly, Op Sindoor was the first battle zone demonstration of the BrahMos, in which it came out on top with flying colours.It is worth highlighting that because of the low reaction time from the launch of BrahMos to its impact, it is difficult for any surface-to-air missile to intercept it. What sets the BrahMos apart is its supersonic speed, precision targeting capabilities, and launch versatility across multiple platforms, including land, sea, and air.Moreover, nations facing regional threats or maritime security challenges now see the BrahMos as a strategic tool with real-world battlefield utility. Besides, BrahMos has distinguished itself as a non-Western, high-performance alternative, he added. Therefore, the countries that are looking to diversify suppliers or reduce dependency on Western defense ecosystems are confident about BrahMos as a viable and combat-proven option, the expert underscored.During Operation Sindoor, BrahMos caused heavy damage to Pakistan's airfields, including their runways, hangars, and weapon storage facilities, the Indian Air Force (IAF) veteran, retired Group Captain Uttam Kumar Devnath stated in an interview with Sputnik India. The Philippines has already procured the BrahMos from India as part of a $375 million agreement, delivering two batches of the missile to the archipelago by April this year. A third battery is slated to be supplied in the near future.Also, one should not forget that if these 14-15 nations purchase the BrahMos from India, the Indo-Russian joint venture will become the leading challenger to all such missile systems being offered by the US and European heavyweights like the UK, France, and Germany, Devnath stressed.

Battlefield to Bull Market: How BrahMos Soars Post Op Sindoor
20:37 14.07.2025 (Updated: 12:36 15.07.2025) BrahMos is the fastest supersonic missile on the planet. Its speed of around Mach 3, S-maneuver, and low-altitude flight capability make it almost "impossible" to intercept.
In the post-Operation Sindoor scenario, where BrahMos wreaked havoc on Pakistani military installations, the widely acclaimed Indo-Russian missile has seen its stock surge manifold, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday confirming that around 14-15 nations have shown interest in acquiring the projectile from India.
"You must have seen that in Operation Sindoor, Brahmos missile has done a miraculous job and not only this, after the miracle shown by Brahmos missile, about 14-15 countries of the world have demanded Brahmos missile from India," Singh said.
He mentioned that the BrahMos missile would now be exported from Lucknow as well.
Interestingly, Op Sindoor was the first battle zone demonstration of the BrahMos, in which it came out on top with flying colours.
It is worth highlighting that because of the low reaction time from the launch of BrahMos to its impact, it is difficult for any surface-to-air
missile to intercept it.
What sets the BrahMos apart is its supersonic speed, precision targeting capabilities, and launch versatility across multiple platforms, including land, sea, and air.
"Before Operation Sindoor, BrahMos was viewed largely as a strategic Indian asset. However, Op Sindoor was a game changer for the Indo-Russian joint venture, as it has transitioned into a globally acknowledged marketable weapon system, having proven its performance in live combat in Pakistan," Gaurav Kumar, a Research Assistant at the United Services Institution of India (USI), the nation's oldest defence think tank, told Sputnik India.
Moreover, nations facing regional threats or maritime security challenges now see the BrahMos as a strategic tool with real-world battlefield utility. Besides, BrahMos has distinguished itself as a non-Western, high-performance alternative, he added.
Therefore, the countries that are looking to diversify suppliers or reduce dependency on Western defense ecosystems are confident about BrahMos as a
viable and combat-proven option, the expert underscored.
During Operation Sindoor, BrahMos caused heavy damage to Pakistan's airfields, including their runways, hangars, and weapon storage facilities, the Indian Air Force (IAF) veteran, retired
Group Captain Uttam Kumar Devnath stated in an interview with
Sputnik India. "After this stellar showing against Pakistan, many countries, particularly from the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, are extremely keen to acquire the BrahMos missile system from India," the military pundit said.
The Philippines has already procured the BrahMos from India as part of a $375 million agreement, delivering two batches of the missile to the archipelago by April this year. A third battery is slated to be
supplied in the near future.
Also, one should not forget that if these 14-15 nations purchase the BrahMos from India, the Indo-Russian joint venture will become the leading challenger to all such missile systems being offered by the US and European heavyweights like the UK, France, and Germany, Devnath stressed.
"While global interest in the BrahMos is noteworthy, the missile's sale should be confined to countries that are friendly to both India and Russia; otherwise, the technology associated with this sophisticated weapon could land in the hands of the Ukrainians, NATO members, or Pakistan, for that matter," the IAF veteran cautioned.
