Air Defence Systems of China & Pak No Match for India’s BrahMos: Expert
In a recent operation, India demonstrated its military prowess by using the BrahMos missile to precision strike Pakistan’s air bases. According to American urban warfare expert, Colonel (Retd) John Spencer, the air defence systems of China and Pakistan are no match for India’s BrahMos missile. His comments have sent shockwaves across the military circles, highlighting India’s technological superiority in the field of air defence.
The BrahMos missile, a joint collaboration between India and Russia, has been a game-changer for the Indian military. With its high speed and precision-guided capabilities, it has proven to be an effective weapon against enemy airbases and military installations. The recent operation, codenamed “Sindoor”, saw India using the BrahMos missile to destroy Pakistan’s F-16 fighter jets and other military assets.
Colonel (Retd) John Spencer, a renowned expert on urban warfare, has been studying the military tactics and strategies employed by various countries. According to him, the BrahMos missile is a significant asset for the Indian military, and its capabilities far surpass those of China and Pakistan.
“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 subject of interest for military strategists around the world. Its capabilities to engage targets at a speed of Mach 2.8 (around 2,100 km/h) and its ability to fly at a low altitude of 10-15 meters make it a highly effective weapon against enemy airbases and military installations.
The Indian military has been aggressively pursuing the development of its air defence capabilities in recent years. The BrahMos missile is a key component of this strategy, and its employment during the “Sindoor” operation has sent a strong message to Pakistan and China.
Pakistan, which has been engaged in a long-standing conflict with India over the Kashmir region, has been trying to develop its air defence capabilities. However, its efforts have been hampered by a lack of funding and technological expertise.
China, on the other hand, has been aggressively pursuing its military modernization program, with a focus on developing its air defence capabilities. However, according to Colonel Spencer, China’s air defence systems are no match for India’s BrahMos missile.
“The PLA (People’s Liberation Army) Air Force has been trying to modernize its air defence capabilities, but it still lags behind the Indian Air Force,” Colonel Spencer said.
The employment of the BrahMos missile during the “Sindoor” operation has sent a strong message to Pakistan and China. It has demonstrated India’s capability to engage enemy airbases and military installations with precision-guided weapons. The operation has also highlighted the importance of air defence in modern warfare, and the need for countries to invest in developing their air defence capabilities.
In conclusion, the BrahMos missile has proven to be a game-changer for the Indian military. Its capabilities to engage targets at high speed and precision-guided capabilities make it a highly effective weapon against enemy airbases and military installations. The recent operation, codenamed “Sindoor”, has sent a strong message to Pakistan and China, highlighting India’s technological superiority in the field of air defence.
