BrahMos used in Operation Sindoor against Pakistan: What we know about India’s fastest cruise missile

Indias BrahMos supersonic cruise missile has taken centre stage amid rising India-Pakistan tensions. Precision strikes launched on May 10 reportedly involved the BrahMos cruise missile. The missile, jointly developed by India and Russia, offers high speed, low radar detection, and pinpoint accuracy. With a range of up to 290 km in its standard version and advanced variants exceeding 800 km, BrahMos has emerged as a core asset in Indias arsenal. Officials say it signals Indias intent to defend decisively.
