Air Defence Systems of China & Pak No Match for India’s BrahMos: Expert
In a recent statement, American urban warfare expert, Colonel (Retd) John Spencer, has hailed India’s Operation Sindoor, which saw the country use its BrahMos missiles for precision strikes against Pakistan’s air bases. According to Colonel Spencer, the defence systems of China and Pakistan are no match for India’s BrahMos missile.
Operation Sindoor, which translates to “Operation Indoors” in English, was a surgical strike carried out by the Indian Air Force (IAF) against terrorist camps and infrastructure in Pakistan’s Balakot region. The operation was a response to the Pulwama attack, in which a suicide bomber affiliated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist group killed over 40 Indian security personnel.
The IAF used its BrahMos missiles, a supersonic cruise missile developed by India in collaboration with Russia, to deliver precision strikes against the terrorist targets. The BrahMos missile has a top speed of over Mach 2.8 (around 3,000 km/h) and can strike targets at a distance of up to 300 kilometers.
Colonel Spencer, who has extensive experience in urban warfare, has analyzed the BrahMos missile and the air defence systems of China and Pakistan. In his assessment, he concluded that the defence systems of these countries are no match for India’s BrahMos missile.
“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,” Colonel Spencer said in an interview.
The BrahMos missile has been a game-changer for the IAF, providing the country with a significant advantage in terms of precision strikes and air power. The missile’s speed, range, and accuracy make it an extremely effective weapon, capable of penetrating even the most advanced air defence systems.
Colonel Spencer’s assessment is backed by recent events, which have shown that the BrahMos missile is capable of penetrating even the most advanced air defence systems. During Operation Sindoor, the IAF used the BrahMos missile to deliver precision strikes against terrorist targets in Pakistan, despite the presence of advanced air defence systems.
The success of the BrahMos missile in Operation Sindoor has sent a clear message to Pakistan and China, which have been trying to develop their own air defence systems. The BrahMos missile has shown that India has the capability to deliver precision strikes against targets deep within Pakistan, and that its air defence systems are capable of withstanding even the most intense air defence systems.
The BrahMos missile has also given India a significant advantage in terms of its ability to strike targets in the region. The missile’s range and speed make it an extremely effective weapon, capable of striking targets at a distance of over 300 kilometers. This has given India the ability to strike targets in Pakistan and China, without having to rely on ground-based troops or other forms of military power.
In addition to its military capabilities, the BrahMos missile has also given India a significant advantage in terms of its ability to deter aggression. The missile’s presence in the region has sent a clear message to Pakistan and China, which have been trying to develop their own air defence systems. The BrahMos missile has shown that India is capable of delivering precision strikes against targets deep within Pakistan and China, and that its air defence systems are capable of withstanding even the most intense air defence systems.
In conclusion, the BrahMos missile has given India a significant advantage in terms of its air power and military capabilities. The missile’s speed, range, and accuracy make it an extremely effective weapon, capable of penetrating even the most advanced air defence systems. Colonel Spencer’s assessment is backed by recent events, which have shown that the BrahMos missile is capable of delivering precision strikes against targets deep within Pakistan, despite the presence of advanced air defence systems.
As the region continues to evolve, it is clear that the BrahMos missile will remain a key component of India’s air power and military capabilities. The missile’s presence in the region has sent a clear message to Pakistan and China, which have been trying to develop their own air defence systems. The BrahMos missile has shown that India is capable of delivering precision strikes against targets deep within Pakistan and China, and that its air defence systems are capable of withstanding even the most intense air defence systems.
