Tuesday, 5 August 2025 India's defence ministry has approved the procurement of 87 armed drones and over 110 BrahMos missiles, along with other modernization proposals, totaling Rs 67,000 crore. The acquisition of MALE drones, to be produced with 60% indigenous content, aims to enhance the capabilities of the three services, while the BrahMos missiles will further strengthen the firepower of Sukhoi-30MKI fighters.
Speaking at a public rally in Kashi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Operation Sindoor sent a strong message to the world—that those who target India will not escape, even if they hide underground. He criticised the Opposition for raising doubts about the mission’s intent and outcome. PM Modi also praised Uttar Pradesh's rising stature in India’s defence sector, announcing that BrahMos missiles will soon be manufactured in Lucknow.
