MOSCOW/NEW DELHI: The India-Russia defence partnership will never ever be disrupted by the Western sanctions on Moscow, BrahMos Aerospace chief said on Wednesday, saying its the trust that makes this collaboration work.The West, led by the US, has imposed debilitating sanctions on Russia for its intrusion of Ukraine in February 2022.

BrahMos Aerospace is a joint venture between India and Russia that specialises in nuclear-capable supersonic missiles.The company presently manufactures the BrahMos rocket and is currently establishing the BrahMos II, a hypersonic cruise missile.The Wests attempts will not stop the Russia-India defence collaboration, nor will it impact the businesss operations, BrahMos Aerospace Indo-Russian Joint Venture managing director and CEO Atul Dinkar Rane informed TASS, the main news firm of Russia.

The trust which we have actually developed in between the two partners, ...

that trust is great enough for us to work, and we are working forward-- despite all these sanctions, Rane said.Russia has actually typically been Indias main arms supplier.Unlike lots of other leading Western powers, India has not straight criticised Russia for its intrusion of Ukraine and it avoided a vote at the UN platforms in condemning the Russian aggression.India has been pressing for the resolution of the crisis through diplomacy and dialogue.Rane also said that numerous foreign countries express their interest in acquiring different versions of the BrahMos cruise rocket.

The Philippines is the very first order that we got, Rane said, including that five countries have actually presently put their orders.

So far, I can state that they are from South East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
