India to Deploy BrahMos Missiles at INS Jatayu

The Indian Navy has bolstered its presence in the strategically vital Lakshadweep archipelago by significantly upgrading its naval base on Minicoy Island. The newly inaugurated INS Jatayu boasts advanced surveillance capabilities, new jetties, an airfield, and will soon be armed with BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles.

This strategic expansion is part of India's ongoing efforts to strengthen its maritime security posture in the region. The deployment of BrahMos missiles, known for their precision and extended range, significantly enhances India's ability to deter potential threats and safeguard vital shipping lanes.

The establishment of INS Jatayu comes amidst increasing geopolitical tensions in the Indian Ocean. China's expanding naval activities, including the presence of research vessels in the region, have heightened India's security concerns. Additionally, Minicoy's proximity to the Maldives underscores the strategic importance of the base in ensuring regional stability.

INS Jatayu's upgrade demonstrates India's proactive stance on safeguarding its maritime interests and its commitment to maintaining a secure and stable Indian Ocean region.

Besides security, increase the economic activity, what about fishing, tourism, fun activity, flights, there is alot to do, direct flights from Land to Lakshdeep and Andaman is also needed.

Good, but we need the 800KMs Brahmos ER, coastal batteries, along with long range discrimination radars, an independent amphibious marine brigade under the IOR Theater Command to be based there.

This is a good start and it will increase our lethal capabilities. What we also need is to install more longer range missiles which gives us control over the shipping lane.
