Brahmos Missile: On the morning of 7 May, the Indian Army started ‘Operation Sindoor’ against Pakistan. India has given a clear message to Pakistan from ‘Operation Sindoor’ that India will destroy every part of terrorism. Now Pakistan will definitely remember its condition from ‘Operation Sindoor’ while promoting terrorism. The armies had set a target to destroy the terrorist bases running in Pakistan under ‘Operation Sindoor’. For this reason, after the Pakistani attacks, he retaliated, while Pakistan’s air defense system imported from China was demolished with the help of indigenous drones, missiles and satellites. His airbase was destroyed.
Now in this episode, a big step was taken towards further strengthening India’s defense capabilities. The construction unit of the world’s most dangerous supersonic cruise missile ‘BrahMos’ (Brahms) was inaugurated last Sunday at the Lucknow node of the Uttar Pradesh Defense Industrial Corridor. It was inaugurated by the country’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in Lucknow. Preparations are underway to set up the ‘BrahMos missile’ construction center in the capital Lucknow which will lead the state in the field of defense production. The project is being constructed under the Uttar Pradesh Defense Industrial Corridor, which aims to achieve self -sufficiency in the defense sector.
Inauguration of Titanium and Super Eloce Materials Plant
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh also inaugurated the Titanium and Super Eleys Materials Plant on the occasion, named Strategic Materials Technology Complex (Strategic Materials Technology Complex). This advanced plant will produce materials especially for the Aerospace and Defense Sector, which will be used in future space campaigns such as Chandrayaan and modern fighter aircraft. Besides, the integration and testing facility project of BrahMos Aerospace and the testing facility project was also inaugurated which would play the necessary role in testing and ensuring their quality.
PM Modi’s dream
In the year 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisaged the Defense Industrial Corridor in Uttar Pradesh, which aims to make the state self -sufficient in the field of defense building. This ambitious project is being manufactured as the main nodes in the capital Lucknow, Kanpur, Aligarh, Agra, Jhansi and Chitrakoot. Where massive investment is being made to encourage defense production.
Establishment of construction center in Lucknow
The BrahMos missile construction center is being established on about 200 acres of land in Sarojini Nagar area of the capital Lucknow. The Uttar Pradesh government has provided land on a lease of only one rupee for this project. The center will be equipped with state -of -the -art techniques and will be developed here BrahMos’s Next Generation (NG) missiles, which can be smaller in size but will be lighter in weight and more smart in performance.
In the month of December 2021, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh laid the foundation stone of the project. He said that this center will make India completely self -sufficient in the defense sector and will give more strength to the security capabilities of the country.
What is the history of BrahMos missile?
The BrahMos missile has been named by combining the names of India’s ‘Brahmaputra’ and Russia’s ‘Moskwa’ river. The missile is made up of the joint help of India and Russia. In 1998, India and Russia built a common company named “BrahMos Aerospace”. The same company developed this supersonic missile.
In 2001, BrahMos was first tested and it was completely successful. Since then, the BrahMos missile has been included in India’s Army, Air Force and Navy all three armies. The biggest feature of this missile is that it attacks the enemy so fast that the front cannot even get a chance to defend itself. Its speed is about 2.8 Mac (about three times more than the sound) and it can accurately attack about 290 kilometers away.
BrahMos missile is India’s power
The BrahMos missile is built by the BrahMos Aerospace, a joint venture of India and Russia. It is a type of supersonic cruise missile, which can fly almost three times faster (2.8 Mac) at the speed of sound. Its firepower is about 290 kilometers and has the ability to carry traditional or nuclear warheads. The biggest feature of BrahMos is that it can be launched from all three places by land, sea and air, making it a multi -faceted weapon for the Indian armed forces (Multifunctional Weapon) Will prove as.
production lead time
Production work is likely to begin at the BrahMos missile construction center from the year 2026. According to the initial plan, it is being planned to develop 80 to 100 BrahMos missiles every year. This center will not only meet India’s defense requirements but will also promote the possibilities of export in the coming times.
Steps towards self -sufficiency in defense sector
The BrahMos missile construction center is a major initiative under India’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Self-Reliant India’ campaigns. This center will not only promote India’s self -sufficiency in the defense sector but will also improve the economic situation of the state. Along with this, this project will show Lucknow on the global defense map. The establishment of the BrahMos missile construction center in the capital Lucknow is a matter of great pride for Uttar Pradesh and India. This initiative will make India a strong player in the global defense industry and strengthen the country’s security capabilities.
New opportunities for employment will open
Under this project, about 500 engineers and technicians in the country will get direct employment. Along with this, about 5,000 people will also get employment opportunities indirectly. About 10,000 people are expected to get employment from the establishment of subsidiary units related to defense industry. In this way this project will open a new way of employment for most of the state’s youth.
