Atul Dinkar Rane, the CEO and MD of BrahMos Aerospace, recently stated in a media interaction that the Chinese Russian S-400 defence system deployed near the Indian border areas would not be able to intercept the BrahMos cruise missile.
The BrahMos missile, a supersonic cruise missile, is fundamentally different from a ballistic missile, Rane emphasized that the S-40 air defence system is primarily designed and fine-tuned to counter ballistic missiles, which follow a different trajectory and have distinct characteristics. Due to the BrahMos missile’s exceptional speed and agility, it is difficult for any surface-to-air missile, including the S-400 system, to intercept it effectively.
