India is all set to produce long range missiles that can take down targets deep inside Pakistan

Indian offensive capacity is all set to take a huge leap as India and Moscow as they have inked a deal at BRICS to develop a new generation of Brahmos with a range of more than 600 km to take down protected targets in Pakistan.

With Indo-Pak tension rising after the surgical strike, these missile can be of great use as the range of the new gen missile have a range that enables India to strike anywhere in Pakistan. Russia can also help in the production of these missiles.

The present Brahmos has a current range of 300km and this makes it difficult to hit target that are deep onside Pakistan. This new gen Brahmos will enable India to take down specific targets deep inside Pakistan and further making it a game changer in any conflict with Pakistan.

Brahmos is a cruise missile and this means that it is similar to a pilot-less fighter jet that can be maneuvered in flight, programmed to attack targets from any angle and evade enemy missile defence systems.

The agreement between India and Russia was signed during the bilateral Summit at Goa and it also included development of missiles with smaller range that can be fired from submarines and aircraft. The deal was not made public at the summit, where other projects like sale of frigates and the S-400 air defence system purchase were announced. However, Vladimir Putin told journalists from his country that the missile deal has also been signed.

"We have also agreed to improve the Brahmos missile, which will be land, air and sea launched. We will also work to increase its range. And we will work together on a fifth-generation aircraft," Putin said.

Though, it has been confirmed by the Indian officials that India was involved in negotiations. They also confirmed that a pact to double the range of the Brahmos missile was finalised.
