Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Inaugurates BrahMos Unit In Lucknow

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday virtually inaugurated the BrahMos Aerospace Integration and Testing Facility in Lucknow. The state-of-the-art unit is built under the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, which consists of six key nodes - Lucknow, Kanpur, Aligarh, Agra, Jhansi, and Chitrakoot. The Lucknow unit will assemble and test the existing supersonic BrahMos cruise missiles and also produce the lighter, next-generation (NG) variants that will dramatically boost India's precision-strike capabilities from land, air, and sea.
