With the strength of over 1.4 million active personnel, the Indian Armed Forces is the world's second largest military force next to China and has the world's fourth largest defense budget. Today in this video, we are going to show you the five most powerful weapons of Indian Armed Forces at present. Let's get into the detail. 5. Indian Ballistic Missile Defense Program The Indian Ballistic Missile Defense Program is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defense system to protect India from ballistic missile attacks. Introduced in light of the ballistic missile thread from mainly Pakistan as well as from China, it is a double tiered system consisting of two land and sea-based interceptor missiles, namely the Prithvi Air Defense Missile for high altitude interception and the advanced air defense missile for lower altitude interception. The two tiered shield should be able to intercept any incoming missile launched from 5,000 kilometers away. India became the fourth country to have successfully developed an anti-ballistic missile system, after United States, Russia and Israel. China became the fifth country to do so. 4. Multi-row fighter Su-Koi Su-30 MKI The Su-Koi Su-30 MKI is a twin jet multi-role air superiority fighter, jointly developed by Russia and India. The aircraft is tailor-made for Indian specifications and integrates Indian systems and avionics as well as French and Israeli subsystems. It has ability similar to the Su-Koi Su-35, with which it shares many features and components. The Su-30 MKI has a range of 3,000 kilometers, with internal fuel which ensures a four-hour combat mission. 3. Kolkata-class destroyer The Kolkata-class or a class of stealth guided missile destroyers constructed for the Indian Navy and are the largest destroyers to be operated by the Indian Navy. These are the first stealth destroyers being built by India and mark a significant development in India's shipbuilding technology. The ships would incorporate modern weapons and sensors and will have an advanced information warfare suite and auxiliary control system with a sophisticated power distribution architecture and modular crew quarters. The class have a length of 163 meters and total displacement 7400 tons. The supersonic Brahmos anti-ship and land attack missiles are the primary offensive armament of the Kolkata-class. The ship's main air defense armament is composed of four eight-cell vertical launching allowing for up to 32 Barak 8 air defense missiles. 2. Ogney missile series The Ogney missiles are long-range nuclear weapons capable surface-to-surface ballistic missiles. The Ogney missile series has an operational varying range from 700 kilometers to 8,000 plus kilometers. The latest MIRV capable Ogney 6 which has an operational range of 10,000 plus kilometers is under development. 1. Brahmos supersonic cruise missile The Brahmos is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarine, ships, aircraft or land and can carry both nuclear and conventional warheads. It is the fastest supersonic cruise missile and the world's fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation. The missile travels at speeds of Mach 4 which is being upgraded to Mach 5. In addition, the Brahmos is equipped with stealth technology designed to make it less visible to radar and other detection methods. Brahmos claims it has the capability of attacking surface targets by flying as low as 5 meters, thereby making it extremely difficult for enemy radar to detect. In 2019, India upgraded the missile with a new range of 500 kilometers. Currently the Indian Army deployed its Brahmos regiments in Rajasthan and Arunachal Pradesh. The air launched and naval versions of Brahmos are already operational and are inactive surface. Thanks for watching.
