The event marked the launch of the first batch of BrahMos missiles manufactured at the BrahMos Aerospace facility in Sarojini Nagar, Lucknow.
Rajnath Singh said the operation signalled that “victory has become a habit” for India and that adversaries can no longer evade Indian missile capability. 
He stressed the indigenisation of defence manufacturing—calling the facility a symbol of strategic self-reliance and the growing role of Uttar Pradesh in the defence industrial corridor. 
Singh also called BrahMos a symbol of India’s strategic confidence, saying that winning has “become a habit” for the country. He pointed to the missile’s role in Operation Sindoor, its speed, accuracy and indigenous manufacturing as hallmarks of the shift from slogans to substance.
