Delhi all set to finalise $450 million BrahMos cruise missiles deal
Saturday, 11 January 2025 India is finalising a $450 million deal to export BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to Indonesia, making it the second ASEAN country after the Philippines to purchase them. Discussions have advanced despite budget constraints. India is also looking to export Akash air defence missile systems to countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam amid China's aggressive actions in the Indo-Pacific.
The Government of India and Indian Armed Forces have officially released a detailed account of Operation Sindoor, India’s high-precision retaliatory strike on terror infrastructure inside Pakistan. The operation, executed overnight on May 6–7, targeted 9 terror camps and several military installations in under 23 minutes, with zero Indian casualties. The Indian Air Force (IAF) showcased its technological edge by successfully jamming and bypassing Chinese-made air defense systems deployed by Pakistan. The use of indigenous systems like BrahMos, Akash missiles, S-400s, and long-range drones played a crucial role in neutralizing enemy targets with pinpoint accuracy. India’s air defense systems, in stark contrast to Pakistan’s, operated at nearly 100% efficiency, intercepting hostile drones and missiles with precision. Operation Sindoor marks a defining moment in India’s counter-terror strategy and defense self-reliance.

In a shocking revelation, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath confirms that India’s BrahMos missile was used during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. Speaking at the inauguration of the BrahMos Aerospace Integration Facility, Yogi Adityanath boldly declared, "Ask Pakistan about the power of BrahMos!"

A limestone quarry in Indonesia’s West Java province collapsed on Friday, killing at least 13 people and injuring a dozen others. Authorities fear more may still be buried under the rubble. The rescue mission, involving excavators and volunteers, was halted due to unstable soil and will resume Saturday. Governor Dedi Mulyadi ordered the permanent closure of this and four similar unsafe mining sites. This is the quarry’s second collapse this year, highlighting growing concerns over mining safety in the Southeast Asian archipelago.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia.
