Lucknow: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday asserted that every inch of Pakistan’s territory is within the range of the BrahMos missile, adding that what transpired during Operation Sindoor was merely a trailer.
Speaking after flagging off the first batch of BrahMos missiles manufactured at the BrahMos Aerospace unit in Lucknow, alongside Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Singh said the missile system has become a cornerstone of India’s defence capability and a symbol of the nation’s confidence in turning its aspirations into reality.
According to an official statement, BrahMos Aerospace has successfully rolled out the first batch of missiles from its new integration and testing facility at Sarojini Nagar, Lucknow. The event marks a significant milestone for the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC) and reinforces India’s commitment to achieving self-reliance in defence production.
The state-of-the-art facility, inaugurated on May 11, is equipped with advanced systems for missile integration, testing, and quality assurance. After undergoing rigorous trials, the missiles will be ready for induction into the Indian armed forces.
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, and senior officials were also present at the ceremony.
