Indian Army has test-fired a long-range BrahMos Missile
The launch was conducted by the specialized missile experts of the Indian Army’s ‘Rising Sun’ unit, showcasing the weapon’s “long-range targeting capabilities,” as reported by RT, citing the Eastern Command’s post on X.
The army emphasized that the “calculated strike” precisely hit its intended target, portraying the test as “a poignant reminder of India’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty and promoting regional stability.”
The Andaman Islands, situated at the intersection of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea off the southeastern coast of India, hold strategic significance due to their proximity to the Malacca Strait, a crucial maritime route. Last month, the Indian Navy inaugurated a new base, INS Jatayu, on Minicoy Island in Lakshadweep to bolster its operational capabilities in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
The establishment of this base aims to extend operational reach and support the Indian Navy’s endeavors in anti-piracy and anti-narcotics operations in the Western Arabian Sea.
