Pakistan planning to buy new air defence systems: India launched a massive strike on the Pakistan and areas of PoK, killing more than a hundred terrorists across nine terror camps. In the recently conducted Operation Sindoor, India used BrahMos missiles on Pakistan, destroying multiple airbases of Pakistan, leaving the Chinese supplied HQ-9 Air defence systems of Pakistan irrelevant. Shaken by the destruction caused by the BrahMos missiles of India, Pakistan is now planning to buy new air defence systens for countering India.
Pakistan planning to buy new air defence systems
In its effort to counter India’s BrahMos missile, Pakistan is exploring many advanced air-defense systems including Italy’s CAMM-ER and Germany’s IRIS-T. While CAMM-ER offers versatility and mid-range coverage, the IRIS-T is emerging as the preferred choice due to its proven combat success in Ukraine, high agility, and infrared-guided precision—making it better suited to intercept fast, low-flying threats like BrahMos. However, its shorter range, high cost, and potential diplomatic friction with India are significant considerations.
Amit Shah explains how BrahMos destroyed Pak air bases
Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently said that indigenously developed BrahMos missiles destroyed Pakistani air bases while its air defence system, borrowed from China, remained unused, during Operation Sindoor, which exposed its lies on terrorism to the world.
Addressing a function, HM Shah said while surgical strikes and the airstrike in the past were limited to the Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), India penetrated 100 km inside Pakistan’s border under Operation Sindoor and eliminated terrorists and their hubs, as per a report by PTI news agency.
“As our indigenously developed BrahMos (supersonic cruise missile system) worked to destroy Pakistan’s air bases, its own air defence system, borrowed from China, remained unused.
About BrahMos missile
The Indio-Russian developed BrahMos missile is capable of hitting a range of 450–800 km with speeds up to Mach 3 with and a low radar cross-section (RCS), which proved nearly unstoppable during Operation Sindoor.
