TOWARDS A PROMPT GLOBAL DEFENCE ARCHITECTURE FOR INDIA

摘要

India successfully tested an extended range (350 Km as against earlier 290 km) BrahMos firing from the Su-30 MKI on 12th May 2022, just a day after national technology day. Its significance for a future defence architecture of India should not be lost to anyone, anywhere. One need to see this test as a continuum of the anti-satellite (A-SAT) strike capability demonstrated by India's DRDO and announced by Prime Minister on 27th March 2019 followed up by the launch of a unique satellite - the EMISAT - developed jointly by ISRO and DRDO and launched on 1st April 2019, fulfilling the needs of an emerging modern defence architecture for India.
