'BrahMos shining example of Indo-Russian ties'

Moscow: The BrahMos cruise missile is a "shining" example of contemporary Indo-Russian defence cooperation and captures several aspects of bilateral military ties, Indian Ambassador to Russia Ajai Malhotra said. Congratulating the people involved in the joint project on the 10th anniversary of the maiden launch of the deadly supersonic missile, which is coinciding with 'Russia Day' national holiday being celebrated tomorrow, Ambassador Malhotra said, "The BrahMos project is a shining example of contemporary India-Russia defence cooperation. "It captures several aspects of our defence cooperation, which has moved from a buyer-seller relationship into one involving joint research, development and production of advanced and world-class systems." He underscored that the project has combined Indian and Russian technological capabilities with manufacturing expertise available in public and private industries of the two strategic partners.
