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 praised India’s military operation, codenamed “Operation Sindoor”, and has opined that the air defence systems of China and Pakistan are no match for India’s BrahMos missile. According to Colonel Spencer, India’s precision strike capability, demonstrated during the operation, has showcased the superiority of its BrahMos missiles.
India’s BrahMos missiles, which are a joint venture with Russia, have been used extensively in various military operations, including precision strikes against Pakistan’s air bases. The BrahMos missile is a supersonic cruise missile that can travel at a speed of up to Mach 2.8, making it one of the fastest air-to-surface missiles in the world. Its accuracy and speed have made it a game-changer in modern warfare, allowing India to deliver precise strikes with minimal collateral damage.
Colonel Spencer’s statement comes as a significant boost to India’s military, which has been working to upgrade its military capabilities in recent years. The BrahMos missile has been a key component of this effort, and its success in Operation Sindoor has demonstrated its effectiveness in real-world combat scenarios.
Operation Sindoor was a major military operation conducted by India in response to a Pakistani military plan to use its air force to attack India’s major cities. The operation, which was conducted in a matter of hours, saw India’s Air Force launch a series of precision strikes against Pakistan’s air bases, using its BrahMos missiles. The strikes were designed to neutralize Pakistan’s air power and prevent it from launching any further attacks against India.
According to Colonel Spencer, the success of Operation Sindoor was a testament to the superiority of India’s air defence systems and its BrahMos missiles. “India’s air defence systems and missiles are far superior to those of China and Pakistan,” he said in an interview. “China’s air defence systems are sub-par vis-à-vis India’s systems…India’s message was clear. It can hit anywhere in Pakistan anytime.”
Colonel Spencer’s comments are significant, as they come from an expert who has extensive experience in urban warfare. As a Colonel in the US Army, he has served in various military operations, including the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan. He is currently the Senior Fellow and Director of the Urban Warfare Project at the Modern War Institute at West Point.
Colonel Spencer’s views are also supported by other military experts, who have praised India’s military for its success in Operation Sindoor. According to Dr. Subhash Kapila, a military expert and former diplomat, India’s BrahMos missiles have given it a significant military advantage over its neighbours. “India’s BrahMos missiles have given it a capability to deliver precision strikes with minimal collateral damage,” he said. “This has made it a game-changer in modern warfare, allowing India to defend itself against any potential threats.”
In conclusion, Colonel John Spencer’s statement has highlighted the superiority of India’s air defence systems and BrahMos missiles. The success of Operation Sindoor has demonstrated the effectiveness of India’s military capabilities, and its ability to deliver precision strikes with minimal collateral damage. As India continues to upgrade its military capabilities, its BrahMos missiles will remain a key component of its military strategy, allowing it to defend itself against any potential threats.
