With the fear that Russia may use the P-800 Onyx missile (the original Russian version of the BrahMos supersonic missile), Ukrainain President Volodymyr Zelensky had requested Taurus missiles from Germany—long-range missiles capable of striking targets over 500 km away from Germany. However, as per media reports, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has declined the request.
Among all the drama around the BrahMos missile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has reportedly made a big move. Under his recent move, the minister announced that Russia is ready for peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on June 2. India's Ambassador to Russia talked about BrahMos's effectiveness during Operation Sindoor
In a strong development after Operation Sindoor which further deepened the Indo-Russian defence cooperation, the Ambassador of India to Russia, said in an interview to a Russian publication the effectiveness of 'Made in India' defence equipment was decisively proven during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, Vinay Kumar,
'Our relations have even deepened recently. We not only buy and sell military equipment, but also engage in joint development and production of defence products. Equipment manufactured in India, including BrahMos (a supersonic anti-ship missile of joint Russian-Indian production), has repeatedly proven its effectiveness, including during the period from May 7 to 10. Therefore, I believe that our relations in this area will only develop,' Ambassador Vinay Kumar told Izvestia in an interview.
