Air Defence Systems of China & Pak No Match for India’s BrahMos: Expert
In a recent interview, American urban warfare expert, Colonel (Retd) John Spencer, has drawn attention to the superiority of India’s BrahMos missile system over those of China and Pakistan. According to Colonel Spencer, the defence systems of China and Pakistan are no match for India’s BrahMos missile, which was used with precision to damage Pakistan’s air bases in a recent military operation.
The operation, dubbed “Operation Sindoor”, was a significant demonstration of India’s military might and its ability to take swift and decisive action against its adversaries. The use of BrahMos missiles was a key aspect of this operation, and Colonel Spencer believes that it sent a clear message to China and Pakistan about India’s capabilities.
“In Operation Sindoor, India used BrahMos missiles to precision-strike Pakistan’s air bases, sending a clear message that it can hit anywhere in Pakistan anytime,” Colonel Spencer said in an interview. “Chinese air defence systems and missiles are sub-par vis-à-vis India’s systems. India’s message was clear: it can hit anywhere in Pakistan anytime.”
The BrahMos missile is a supersonic cruise missile developed jointly by India and Russia. It is designed to destroy heavily fortified targets, including air bases, command centers, and other strategic installations. The missile has a top speed of Mach 2.8 (around 2,100 km/h or 1,300 mph) and can carry a payload of 200 kg (440 lbs).
In the context of Operation Sindoor, the BrahMos missile proved to be an effective tool for India’s military. The missiles were used to precision-strike Pakistan’s air bases, causing significant damage and disrupting Pakistan’s military operations. The use of BrahMos missiles was a significant demonstration of India’s military capabilities and its ability to take swift and decisive action against its adversaries.
Colonel Spencer’s comments are significant because they highlight the superiority of India’s BrahMos missile system over those of China and Pakistan. The BrahMos missile is a highly advanced weapon system that is capable of destroying heavily fortified targets with precision and accuracy. In contrast, China and Pakistan’s air defence systems are relatively less advanced and may not be able to effectively counter India’s BrahMos missiles.
China’s air defence systems, for example, are primarily based on Soviet-era technology and are not as advanced as India’s BrahMos missile system. Pakistan’s air defence systems are also relatively less advanced and are primarily based on Chinese and American technology.
In addition to its military capabilities, Operation Sindoor also sent a significant political message to India’s adversaries. The operation demonstrated India’s willingness to take swift and decisive action against its adversaries and its ability to protect its national interests. The use of BrahMos missiles was a significant demonstration of India’s military might and its ability to take on multiple adversaries simultaneously.
In conclusion, Colonel Spencer’s comments highlight the superiority of India’s BrahMos missile system over those of China and Pakistan. The BrahMos missile is a highly advanced weapon system that is capable of destroying heavily fortified targets with precision and accuracy. In the context of Operation Sindoor, the BrahMos missile proved to be an effective tool for India’s military, causing significant damage and disrupting Pakistan’s military operations. The use of BrahMos missiles sent a clear message to India’s adversaries about its military capabilities and its ability to protect its national interests.
