"India is one thing; she is our strategic partner"
It can upset balance of forces in any region
Its range could be extended from the current 300 km
Moscow:
Describing the BrahMos cruise missile, developed jointly by India and Russia, as ``highly lethal'' and capable of upsetting the balance of forces in any region where they may appear, a top Russian defence official has said Moscow was not keen on its export to other countries.
Initially, Moscow and New Delhi agreed to jointly export it to ``friendly'' countries.
However, recent aggressive marketing moves by the New Delhi-based company had drawn flak in Russia.
``This is a very lethal and potent weapon system, which can upset the balance of forces in any region," said Colonel-General Anatoly Mazurkevich . — PTI
