The head of BrahMos Aerospace said on Wednesday that the relationship between India and Russia in the field of defence will “never” be affected by Western sanctions against Moscow since this relationship is based on “trust.”
Due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the West, backed by the US, has put severe sanctions on the country.
Joint company between India and Russia called BrahMos Aerospace specialises in nuclear-capable supersonic missiles.
The business presently produces the BrahMos missile and is working on the BrahMos II, a cruise missile that travels at an incredibly high speed.
The West’s efforts won’t derail the Russia-India defence alliance, and they won’t have an effect on the business, Atul Dinkar Rane, the managing director and CEO of BrahMos Aerospace Indo-Russian Joint Venture, said TASS, the official news agency of Russia. “I have a strong feeling that it never will,” When questioned about whether the West could stop India and Russia’s defence and security cooperation, Rane responded.
“Furthermore, everybody who tries will only fail. It won’t be able to sever the current bond between Indian scientists and Russian technologists because it is so strong. Even if someone instructs us by law to stop communicating with Russia and begin communicating with someone else, we will continue to claim that working with the Russians was simpler “Tass reported what he said.

Rane argued that this alliance will succeed despite Western sanctions because of the trust that exists between India and Russia.
