The Indian Navy is set to deploy BrahMos supersonic cruise missile-equipped mobile coastal batteries in key locations across the maritime zone to counter threats from both the east and west, former Navy Chief Vice Admiral Satish N Ghormade revealed in a recent statement.

The deployment of the Next Gen Mobile Missile Coastal Batteries, equipped with BrahMos missiles, will enhance the multi-directional maritime strike capability of the Indian Navy, Ghormade said. The missiles, developed by BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited (BAPL), a joint venture between India and Russia, provide both land attack and anti-ship capabilities, which are essential for the maritime security of the nation.

The delivery of the BrahMos missile batteries is scheduled to begin in 2027, according to Ghormade. The indigenous production of the critical weapon system and ammunition will be further boosted, with the active participation of indigenous industries.

The BrahMos missile system has a range of up to 290 km and can fly at speeds of up to Mach 3, making it one of the fastest cruise missiles in the world. It can be launched from various platforms, including ships, submarines, aircraft, and land-based mobile launchers.

The deployment of the missile batteries is part of India's efforts to modernize and strengthen its defense capabilities, particularly in the face of growing security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. The move comes amid rising tensions with China, which has been expanding its naval presence in the region, and Pakistan, which has been engaging in cross-border terrorism.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
