BRAHMOS: AN UNPARALLELED WEAPON
THE WEEK India
|May 25, 2025
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had this to say about BrahMos: “BrahMos is not just one of the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missiles but a message of the strength of the Indian armed forces, a message of deterrence to adversaries, and a message of the nation’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding its borders.”
-
BrahMos, developed and produced with Russian collaboration, is a two-stage missile with a solid propellant booster engine as its first stage, which brings it to supersonic speed (Mach 1) and then gets separated. The liquid ramjet—the second stage—then takes it to Mach 3 (around 3,700kmph at sea level) in the cruise phase. It is named after the Brahmaputra and the Moskva rivers.

A discovery of India
Coimbatore, often referred to as the ‘Manchester of South India’, is a city I have visited several times for market assessments. However, this time, I found myself stepping into a distinctly new role and in a new avatar. I was invited to address a gathering of students and teachers at the ‘Transformation India Conclave’ organised by SVVM School. Having rarely addressed school students in the past, this was a new experience, and the thought was slightly daunting as I stood before a sea of eager faces—students from Class V to 12—ready to engage, dialogue, and question! They represented a combination of Gen Z and Gen Alpha—tech-fluent, sharp, confident, and curious, with a heightened sense of global awareness.
