Amid military tensions with Pakistan, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will virtually inaugurate the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile production unit on Sunday at the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor in Lucknow.
The facility is designed to manufacture 80 to 100 BrahMos missiles annually and marks a significant step in strengthening India's indigenous defence capabilities. The production facility, built at a cost of Rs 300 crore, will produce the BrahMos missile -- a precision-strike weapon with a range between 290-400 km and capable of flying at a top speed of Mach 2.8.
