Coimbatore, Jan 5
With the BrahMos cruise missile developed by India and Russia proving to be the "best missile available in the world", New Delhi will continue to develop more weapon systems with Moscow, a top defence scientist said today.
However, it is for the the Indian government to decide about the types of products to be manufactured with its strategic partner Russia, A Shivathanu Pillai, CEO of the Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace, told reprorters here.
The Indian and Russian governments are expected to discuss various issues, including manufacturing other products through joint ventures, during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit as chief guest for the Republic Day celebrations on January 26, Pillai said.
"Being the proud possessor of the best supersonic missile, India is on top of the world, and BrahMos has made a great impact over other nations," he said. The joint venture has proved that exchange of expertise with other nations in defence projects can be successful.
Asked about new products and missiles in the pipeline, Pillai said, "We will not disclose our plans on missile.
"Indian government has to consider and decide on future projects with Russia," he said.
