Ask Pakistan About the Power of BrahMos: Sensational Remarks by Yogi Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made sensational remarks stating that if anyone wants to understand the power of India's BrahMos missile, they should ask Pakistan. He praised the recent success of ‘Operation Sindoor’, asserting that it demonstrated the might of the BrahMos missile to the world.
On Sunday, Yogi Adityanath inaugurated a newly established BrahMos supersonic cruise missile manufacturing facility located in the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor in Lucknow. Speaking at the ceremony, he extended congratulations on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh to the Indian Armed Forces, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for the success of 'Operation Sindoor'.
"You may have seen a glimpse of the BrahMos missile during 'Operation Sindoor'. If not, ask Pakistan about its power," said Yogi Adityanath. He further asserted, “From now on, any act of terrorism will be treated as an act of war, as declared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for their efforts in developing Uttar Pradesh into a hub for defence production. The new facility, constructed at a cost of ₹300 crore, is set to produce 80 to 100 BrahMos missiles annually. Yogi Adityanath described it as a significant addition to India’s domestic defence infrastructure.
Reiterating India’s stance on terrorism, he stated, “There will be no resolution to the problem of terrorism until it is completely eradicated. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, we must all unite and combat it collectively. Terrorism has never understood the language of love—it must be addressed in its own language. Through ‘Operation Sindoor’, India has sent a clear message to the world.”
The BrahMos missile, jointly developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia, has a range of 290 to 400 kilometres and can achieve speeds of Mach 2.8. It can be launched from land, sea, and air.
The Lucknow unit also houses an Aerospace Integration and Testing Centre, which will produce 100 to 150 next-generation BrahMos missiles annually. These upcoming versions are expected to be lighter and capable of striking targets at longer ranges compared to the current models.
