Why did the Cabinet Committee on Security approve a ₹19,000 crore mega Navy deal for BrahMos missiles
The Cabinet Committee on Security sanctioned a substantial deal for BrahMos missiles for the Navy.
- The BrahMos missile system is a joint venture between India and Russia, known for its precision strike capabilities and high speed.
- The approval for the ₹19,000 crore deal signifies the government's commitment to enhancing the Navy's firepower and modernizing its capabilities.
- Equipping the Navy with BrahMos missiles will bolster India's maritime defense strategy and deterrence capabilities in the Indian Ocean region.
- The deal will also contribute to the 'Make in India' initiative, as the BrahMos missiles are produced domestically, showcasing self-reliance in defense production.
- Enhancing the Navy's arsenal with advanced weapon systems like BrahMos will strengthen India's military posture and serve as a deterrent against potential threats.
