Putin’s two-day visit: Advanced BrahMos missiles, hypersonic systems on table; India, Russia to enhance defence ties

India and Russia are set to discuss advanced BrahMos missile development during President Putin's visit. Following its success in Operation Sindoor, India seeks lighter, versatile BrahMos-NG variants for its Air Force and extended-range systems. This collaboration underscores the strong Indo-Russian strategic partnership, with further talks on next-gen hypersonic and air-to-air missiles also anticipated.
