NEW DELHI: A new milestone in India’s stride towards ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in the defence structure was achieved on Saturday as Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath flagged off the first batch of supersonic BrahMos missiles produced at the Lucknow unit of BrahMos Aerospace Limited.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hailed BrahMos as “the most capable weapon to protect not only India but also our friendly countries across the world.”
He said that the missile’s production in Lucknow, realised through the efforts of the Defence Minister, fulfils Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ vision and marks a proud moment for the nation.
