Lucknow,

18 Oct (HS): On

Saturday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that BrahMos had access to

every inch of Pakistani land and that what transpired during Operation Sindoor

was only a prelude. BrahMos has become a

major pillar of India's military forces, reinforcing the country's conviction

that it can make its aspirations a reality, Singh said after he and Uttar

Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the first batch of missiles

made at the BrahMos Aerospace complex here.

According to a release, BrahMos Aerospace successfully built the first

batch of missile systems at its new integration and test facility in Lucknow.

The inauguration is not only a watershed

moment for the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC), but it will

also give additional impetus to India's determination to attain self-reliance

in defense production, according to officials.

This

cutting-edge BrahMos Aerospace unit, which opened on May 11, includes all

current facilities for missile integration, testing, and final quality

checks. Following successful testing,

the missiles are ready for deployment by the Indian armed services. The event was attended by Uttar Pradesh Deputy

Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, and several

other officials.
