BrahMos-A air-launched variant of the cruise missile deployed on IAF Sukhoi Su-30MKI will be a formidable punch in deterring enemy carrier task force as there will be 40 Sukhois always ready to fire 40 BrahMos missiles together at a time whenever required. Govt of India upgrading the infrastructure of Andaman and Nicobar Islands to house fighter jets, shore-based anti-ship missile launchers, and tri-service assault groups for blistering attacks over enemies around the vicinity.
