In a strong message to Pakistan, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asserted that “every inch of Pakistan is within the range of the BrahMos missile system,” reaffirming India’s robust defence capabilities. The statement came as a clear warning amid heightened tensions and increasing cross-border provocations.
Every Inch Within BrahMos Range: Rajnath Singh’s Stern Warning To Pakistan
Speaking at a defence-related event, Singh emphasized that India’s modern missile systems, including BrahMos, are not only a symbol of technological self-reliance but also a testament to the nation’s preparedness to safeguard its territorial integrity. The BrahMos missile, jointly developed by India and Russia, is one of the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missiles, capable of striking targets over a range exceeding 450 km.
Defence Minister reiterated that India desires peace in the region
The Defence Minister reiterated that India desires peace in the region but will not hesitate to take decisive action if provoked. “Our intention is peace, but if the need arises, India will respond strongly,” Singh stated, reinforcing the government’s zero-tolerance stance on terrorism.
Experts note that Rajnath Singh’s remarks come in the backdrop of Pakistan’s continued support to cross-border militancy and its opposition to India’s defence modernization programmes. His statement serves as both a deterrent and a reassurance to the nation’s armed forces of the government’s unwavering support.
The BrahMos missile has already been inducted into all three wings of the Indian Armed Forces — the Army, Navy, and Air Force — giving India a significant strategic advantage in the region.
