KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) – The Indian Armed Forces aim to purchase more BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles in years to come, a spokesman for the manufacturing firm BrahMos Aerospace Limited told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Army-2016 military forum on Tuesday.

"Yes, definitely, there will be more BrahMos production in the Indian Armed Forces, BrahMos is a world-class weapons system and there is no equivalent in the world today. Speed, precision and power — all exists in this system," Praveen Pathak said, when asked whether the army was expected to request more BrahMos missiles in the coming years.

According to Pathak, there is a demand for the BrahMos missiles in many countries.

"And we have enough production capabilities to supply those countries friendly both to Russia and India," the spokesman said.
