In a world of delayed defence projects and botched indigenous systems, India's BrahMos cruise missile stands out. Co-developed with Russia, BrahMos is one of the fastest and most accurate supersonic cruise missiles in the world -- and it's made in India.
In this episode, national security expert Sandeep Unnithan and host Dev Goswami deep dive into the BrahMos story:
What kind of missile is BrahMos? How is it different from ballistic missiles?
The origin story: India-Russia partnership and how it all began
Why BrahMos succeeded where so many Indian defence projects failed
How much of it is really Indian? And why didn't Russia ever buy it?
BrahMos II and the future of hypersonic missiles
Is BrahMos nuclear-capable?
How does the upcoming Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM) fit into India's strategy?
Also: We talk about APJ Abdul Kalam's legacy and his lasting influence in India getting everthing right when it comes to missile development.
