Navy India will order the Brahmos anti -ship missiles jointly with the Russian Federation for $ 2.5 billion - media

India will order more than 200 supersonic winged Brahmos missiles. The country continues to develop military cooperation with Russia, despite sanctions. India's naval forces plan to apply in the near future to order supersonic anti-ship missiles Brahmos. Their cost is $ 2. 5 billion, reports on March 13 Times of India. The purchase of a party of 200 missile units that are jointly produced with Russia is planned.

These weapons are a version of the Russian missile P-800 "Okins", which were actively used in civilian infrastructure, in particular in Odessa, Nikolaev, Ochakov and other coastal cities. India's Navy can get a version of a rocket with increased flight range up to 400 km. Previously, this figure was 290 km. In general, Brahmos can use not only ships but also coastal complexes for weapons. Indian military vessels already have such rocket weapons on board.

Further production of Brahmos missiles can be quite profitable and convenient by obtaining critical components of the Russian Federation. This will help the aggressor in the production of your own weapons, and will demonstrate the way to bypass sanctions for the sale of weapons to the world market. For example, last March, this rocket was already ordered by the Philippines Military Office. Manufacturer's representatives plan to receive export orders for another 2. 5-3 billion dollars.

India continues to order weapons in the Russian Federation, in particular, it expects a Tushil frigate, a project 11356. The cooperation also develops in the land component. The Asian country receives anti-aircraft missile complexes C-400 and demonstrates the deployment of AK-203 production, jointly with the Russian Federation. Earlier, Focus reported with reference to Breaking Defense that the Russian Federation intends to attract the Middle East to produce Su-75 fighter fighters.
